This is amazing. Try it and see!! Turn up the volume..She will say anything you type. I sure don't know how they do this! When you move the mouse around, her eyes follow the pointer. When you write something in the left space and then click on 'Say it,' she says it!You can also change persons doing the talking and the language they speak.Then THINK "If this is possible WHAT can they do"??

UK TomThis technology is used extensively to enable the blind to use computers. The most common screen reading programs like this one are Jaws and Hal. It is pretty impressive technology. Unfortunately, software makers are not generally required to make their software accessible to the handicapped, so there are a lot of software programs out there that don't work well with the screen-reader programs.Just as impressive is the speech to text technology. I'm starting to learn a LOT about this field as I look to expand my medical transcription business. Basically, the computer 'listens' to a sound file and outputs a formatted, printed text of what was said. Roughly 40% of all medical records in the US are generated automatically using this technology. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Yes indeed things have moved on at a very fast pace. UK Tom Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
