My sister is looking for a voice recognition program for Windows. She
knows little about computers, and I know nothing about voice navigation.
She's been told about Dragon and Jawbone. Are there others? Which is
best? Do they all work witn word processors and other apps?

Thanks,


Alan

A year or so ago I played around with IBM ViaVoice and Dragon
NaturallySpeaking 7. Speaking in to a microphone, the software learns the
way in which a person speaks. Overall I can say both are neat toys, but
nothing more. This type of software has a long way to go before it can do as
much as a few well-placed key strokes.

Using a computer, like driving, is an unnatural activity for a human being.
The keyboard, mouse,and graphics pad are the best input devices invented to
data. Perhaps a self teaching tutorial would aid her.

Many colleges and high schools offer very good PT computing programs.
