Windows Speech Recognition

Overview

Windows Speech Recognition is a valuable usability tool with which the user can literally interact with his computer through speech - an especially helpful feature for people who have difficulties operating keyboards or mouse devices. Instead of relying on the standard keyboard and mouse to manually manipulate the computer, the user can train Windows Vista to recognize his voice for interaction. He can compose a letter or e-mail message by dictating its content to many commonly used applications. In fact, he can perform most common tasks on his computer by voice.
