Ever wish you could just tell your computer what to do instead of having to type it on the keyboard or move the pointer with your mouse? Will pretty much now you can. Back in the good old days of windows XP there was a program that was developed that could help you dictate words to text by using your microphone called Dragon Naturally Speaking. In my opinion the program was OK it did what you wanted it to do except there were a lot of words that it could not handle and that you had to manually type. Was also very expensive program to. While I was working for dell I spoke with many people who used this program most of them doctors and lawyers as they dictated their notes about their jobs.
With the new operating system windows seven, this speech to text program is now integrated into the operating system. All you have to do is go to the control panel and select speech recognition. Now Windows Vista has the same program. But in my opinion windows seven has made advances on it.
Now I am not going to get all techy and start saying things that will go over your head but not only can you dictate but you can command you computer with your voice. You can tell your computer to click the start button as well as opening programs, going online and hitting your favorite website as well as opening your email.
Now I just want you to know that throughout this post I have used the keyboard four times just to make minor adjustments the rest has been all my voice and I think that's pretty cool. So give it a try check it out you might just like it yourself.
