[Pibe-division] Control Your Computer Using Your Voice

[Peter Donahue]

Hello everyone,

There should be a way to disable the captcha. How is a deaf-blind person 
able to submit comments should they choose to do so>?

Dear Dr. Robinson,



I very much appreciate you sharing your blog with the PIBE-Division
listserv. A question: Is there any way to make the comment submission
process on your blog less conplicated for those of us who are blind? I have
no difficulty deciphering the audio capcha alternative; however, locating
the spot at which to enter the numbers I hear, and then submitting the text
I've written, is next to impossible. I had several comments to your threads,
but after four attempts with the alternate capcha, I finally gave up.



Kimberly

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.
