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.<br>
<br>
Office 2003 does have a speech recognition built into it to use. You speak and the computer types out what you are saying.<br>
<br>
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.<br>
<br>
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. <br>
