>Are you one handed and wish you could type 
>faster? Are you missing your hands or arms? Are 
>your hands shaky and it is difficult to type? If 
>you have any difficulty typing at all, this may be a solution for you.
>
>Office 2003 does have a speech recognition built 
>into it to use. You speak and the computer types out what you are saying.
>
>However, Windows 7 has taken a leap in speech 
>recognition abilities. By speaking to your 
>computer, you can get it to open any menu and go 
>anywhere. You can dictate letters, do your 
>homework and print it off or go into the 
>Internet and email it. You can surf on the 
>Internet and scroll through pages of 
>information. With a quick "Start Listening”, 
>the computer listens to your voice and commands. 
>With a "Stop Listening”, the computer stops listening.
>
>If you are using talking software, you will need 
>assistance in setting up the program as nothing 
>else can be talking while you are training the 
>program. Once the computer gets to know your 
>voice, you can control it anyway you need. If 
>you want to dictate in Word, you will need to 
>limit JAWS ability to talk until you want him 
>to, just a quick hit of the CTRL key is enough 
>to control him. You begin talking and a dialog 
>box opens where you say all your sentences. Once 
>you finish dictating, you say "insert" and the 
>text is inserted into the document, you can make 
>corrections as needed with F7 to spell check with Jaws.
