I need voice activated typing software

If no one can help you here, I will check with my sources. My friend worked with a man who was an HR manager. They called his program "Jaws" but I do not know if that was the real name or if it was just a joke, or pet name. I will read the rest of your discussions. I guess you can search for "Jaws" software and see what comes up. Otherwise, it may be a day or two before I get in touch with the two people who might know about it.

Well I'll be you learn something new every day. I had no idea there was such a thing but it's a terrific idea for handicaped people who don't have the use of their arms and fingers. Sorry I'm definately not your best response but you are mine because I learnt something today. Great way to start a Monday.

I can't say that I know anything personally, but my husband reccomends that software, and has used it before.

I bought an early version of Dragon Naturally speaking for my wife, about 6 or 7 years ago. On that pc it was a bit slow, and quite a number of words were spelled wrong. This was using Windows ME. I've since upgraded to a new pc, and haven't bothered to put it on this pc. I understand that later editions with a faster pc is much more reliable. There are also inexpensive typing courses available for pc's which may be better in the long run (Mavis Beaton is one I got for my wife).

Hi estherlou, Try Dragon Naturally Speaking www.nuance.com/naturallyspeaking . From what I understand, this is the best in the industry so far. It costs a small bomb though.

Okay, here are some of the speech recognition softwares. I'll just give you the names, it's up for you to look for download sites. I'm not allowed to paste in the textbox yet, so I cant provide you everything for now.

I do not know if this works, but I found this link that might help. http://www.simplyspeaking.com/ I doubt that there is any software that works for 64 bit because it has not been around for that long. And you said that the Dragon software does not work with 64, only with 32.

i use software like this for 3 years also for controlling multiple systems at once in my opinion there's only one lernhaut & hauspie reason is that my native laguage is dutch and it's the most difficult language to understand (for computers)

I think you can buy that kind of software at electronics stores. I have seen some in places which have a lot of software. I've seen it at Bust Buy and Fry's.

Some computers have a system for people with disabilities built into it. If you look into your computer (there is usually a systems icon or something), it may have adaptive controls built in. Depending on the computer, it could have just better resolution and enlarging or it could have speech activated built in. So if your computer is new, it may have it. If you order a new computer like a Dell, you can have the Dell built so it has it already in it. I would look into the systems in the computer and see what is there already. I had a co-worker that got a Dragon Naturally Speaking about three days before I was let go at my job. It worked OK, but she was just learning and she was having some difficulty with it. At one point, Staples had different things like this out where you could try it out and see. I would call or go to Staples and see if that is still available. If not them, then maybe an internet cafe. Software of this type is currently expensive. There is a move, due to carpal tunnelsyndrome, to make all computers speech operated. But the problem with that is that it would put secretaries and others out of work. So there is also a move to not do that to keep people working. I hope something I wrote was useful. Take care

You could buy windows vista and use voice recognition that is already there. vita allows you to controll all the processes of the pc with your voice.

I have used Dragon before and really liked it. There was free trial years ago, not sure if it is still available.

I think it would be GREAT way to input stories we have lost the back up files to is just to read them in. I, for one, don't find speaking as easy to put my thought together as seeing the words on the page. I knew someone that dictated a story walking too and from some place - her grandmother's I think, but I tried dictating once and found all I had were lots of starts and stops and no story.

It is useful to unseeing persons.
