Speech to text software, also known as voice recognition software, coverts speech to text.  Speech to text software makes it easier for anyone to use a computer, but is especially useful for individuals with fine motor impairments, individuals with paraplegia, and for individuals without keyboarding skills.  You talk and control the computer - edit documents and emails, launch applications, open files, control the cursor, etc.
 
  • Dictation Pro allows an individual to speak into a microphone and prepare letters, reports, and e-mails.  Dictation Pro includes command for formatting, deleting, and copying words and passages.   Like all voice recognition software, Dictation Pro requires a good quality headset and an initial software training session to allow Dictation Pro to learn and interpret your voice and speech characteristics.

Voice Finger
  • Some speech recognition software assumes the user can type and click if needed.  Voice Finger allows a user to do everything by voice, allowing complete control of the mouse and the keyboard with the user's voice.  It may also be used by gamers, acting as a third hand.
