Have You Considered Talking To Your Computer, Lately?

Used to be, not so long ago, talking to your computer and actually getting it to do something you asked was the stuff of science fiction-no longer! Today, thanks to what is known as speech recognition software you can actually command your computer with your voice! And, depending on the version of your computer's operating system you might already have the software included!

If you bought a PC recently that comes with Windows Vista, for example, then you also have speech recognition software. To learn more about how to get the most out of this program, you'll want to visit Windows Speech Recognition In Windows Vista, on Microsoft's Web site. There you'll be able to read about the key features of the program, watch a demo to see how it works and learn how to use Vista's speech recognition tutorials that will teach you everything you need to know.

And for those of you who either don't have the software already, or simply want to try a different product there are plenty of stand-alone speech recognition programs available for purchase, like Dragon NaturallySpeaking 9, for instance.

Of course speech recognition software does have its limitations, and it's not 100% accurate. But, if you're a senior looking to rest your hands and fingers from time to time, you might find it useful.

Speak up! With speech recognition software, your computer is listening!
