[Pibe-division] Control Your Computer Using Your Voice

Sun Sep 25 17:29:48 UTC 2011

Denise,

Thank you so very much for your assistance re: using JAWS with Blogger. I
have just created a Blog for the class I'm teaching, so this information is
extremely helpful!

However--that does not resolve the problem. After submitting the comment
form, a prompt called "spam prevention" comes up. You have to either type in
the letters you "see" in the box, or you have to listen to an audio capcha.
The audio capcha is done quite well; the problem is that, unlike the printed
capcha, there appears to be no place to submit the numbers you are asked to
type. If you submit them where the printed capcha solution is to be
submitted, it doesn't accept the submission. After a while, I gave up!

Peter. see comment to Kim on how to do this--deaf/blind can do the same
thing but of course with a braille display connected to the computer.

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.
