Hi Dana Have you tried this speech recognition that is built into Windows Vista? That is what I am using today. I use Dragon on my desktop, but am experimenting with speech recognition with Vista. It works magnificently in a quiet environment, but turns on too easily with ambient noise. I am going to use a pillow switch to turn on and off the sound, and I think that will solve the problem.
It has great features, controlling the desktop by voice alone, a showing numbers feature which highlights all the possibilities on the desktop that can Be controlled by voice alone, a mouse grid of course, and last but not least my favorite game Mahjong. It doesn’t have the move mouse feature that Naturallyspeaking does, and I do miss that. I found I got the best speech recognition by training it several times, especially when my Clinitron is at its loudest. It continually learns as it goes along, as does Naturallyspeaking. I am using a lapel mic that I got at Radio Shack that has an on/off switch on it which is where we will connect the pillow switch. Try it, you might like it J Joan From: [EMAIL PROTECTED] [mailto:[EMAIL PROTECTED] Sent: Wednesday, March 14, 2007 9:16 AM To: [EMAIL PROTECTED]; [email protected] Subject: Re: [QUAD-L] Getting Out, Greg, That festival sounds really fun is specially seeing ostrich races and Rick Springfield. I wanted to see him a month or so ago and they were out of tickets. I love concerts. So far I have tickets for Rod Stewart, , The Fray and John Mayer. I think it's cool that lot of the older bands are touring. I wish police was coming to Kansas City. I really love Sting. How many of us on the list besides myself watch American Idol and vote? I try to watch every night it's on or take it. For any of you that like to show, House, it was not last night at 7 p.m. instead of tonight. I hope my tape player was recording, many times it doesn't. I need a new one. Does anyone use a DVD recorder, and if so what kind? I feel that my book, but it is already filled up. I watch after I am in bed, especially if I cannot sleep. My bedroom TV card does not work anything like my living room. Has anybody heard anything more about when the Dragon naturally speaking 9.5 will be out. I need for my laptop with Vista? Thank you so much for your help, I really appreciate your expertise with quad related problems. Dana _____ AOL now offers free email to everyone.
