[Pibe-division] Control Your Computer Using Your Voice

[Dr. Denise M. Robinson]

Control Your Computer Using Your Voice 
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.
