Do You Hate Typing?
Wednesday, July 9th, 2008
Are you one of the many office workers or home teleworkers who really hate typing? Wouldn’t it be nice if someone had the means to create programs that allowed a person to just talk into their computer and it types what has been said?
Not to worry! The time is here, and you can train your computer to type for you, using your own voice patterns to teach it to type as you speak. There are several great voice recognition programs that are available on the market today. Once the software is installed and the training is done, it will become your best friend.
Speech recognition converts spoken words to a machine readable input. Perhaps you already have a speech recognition program installed on your computer and don’t even know about it. If you have Windows XP and have Office both installed on your computer, you can easily check. By opening Microsoft Word and looking under the Tools tab, if you see the word Speech, then you have a nice speech program already available to you that gives you a floating toolbar and is not a very hard program to use. You will have to have a microphone and speakers, such a headset.
