Hi! Just been reading my local paper which has a technology section appearing every Thursday and one of the featured topics this week was the new voice recognition which is in beta found in Google Chrome.
I don't know how accessible Google Chrome is JAWS or Window-Eyes these days but I do know that it appeared to be reasonably accessible with NVDA last time I tried it which was a little while ago so perhaps things have advanced since then? Anyway back to the point of voice recognition, if you use the search facility at google.com you can say something like "Okay Google Search" to activate the voice recognition system and then just tell Google what you're searching for, the computer will speak the results back in a summary and display them on the screen. This facility is also available in several model of Android phone though I'm yet to discover exactly which one's though I suspect that the Nexus range - given that they usually get the most recent and updated versions of the Android Operating system - would be a fair bet for these features. I have a Samsung Chromebox here so I'll be taking it for an update trip across the World Wide Web later on today and see if I'm able to use the voice recognition with its version of the Chrome browser. ********** Dane Trethowan Skype: grtdane12 Phone US (213) 438-9741 Phone U.K. 01245 79 0598 Phone Australia (03) 9005 8589 Mobile: +61400494862 Fax +61397437954 ********** Dane Trethowan Skype: grtdane12 Phone US (213) 438-9741 Phone U.K. 01245 79 0598 Phone Australia (03) 9005 8589 Mobile: +61400494862 Fax +61397437954 ======================================= To post to this group, please send your message to: [email protected] The Windows-Access E-Mail forum is guaranteed malware, spyware, Trojan, virus and worm-free To modify your subscription options, please visit your personalise subscriber options page, located at http://mail.tft-bbs.co.uk/mailman/listinfo/windows-access You can find an archive of all messages posted to the Windows-Access forum at either of the following websites: http://mail.tft-bbs.co.uk/pipermail/windows-access/index.html Or: <http://www.mail-archive.com/[email protected]> you may also subscribe to this list via RSS.
