Try Using Your Computer By Just Your Voice; It Almost Can Read Your Mind

No mouse, no keyboard, no pen, no touch screen. No tangible input devices of any kind. Just an electronic ear - more simply known as a decent off the shelf headset microphone. Believe it; its here, and has been for quite some time. It may be lurking in your current OPERATING SYSTEM and you may not even know it.
Right now, I am sitting in my chair, talking to you via an amazing invention called voice recognition. Part of my new year's schedule was finding time (it ended up taking approximately 20-30 min) to teach my voice recognition software so that I can be a little more productive in the coming year. There's quite a lot that I can get done by speaking rather than typing. If only I had a wireless headset. So far I have navigated this Website and created this news element without so much as touching one key on the keyboard. Hard to believe isn't it? It's not to too hard to train the sucker. For instance, when I just said the word sucker, it typed the word soccer. But you can correct the word and get it to recognize more words you typically say just through a simple set of voice commands. If you are currently using WINDOWS 7 or VISTA for that matter I highly recommend poking through CONTROL PANEL under SPEECH RECOGNITION and trying it out. You will be amazed at how far things have come. Who knows you may like it.
Thanks for stopping by,
