Speech Recognition

[Guest]

It appears that the speech recognition program uses mouse-based commands
(like saying "double-click" to open) to perform user actions. What if you've
never used a mouse (if you're mobility-impaired, or new to Windows, for
instance)? Speech recognition makes the connection between the user and the
operating system through language, not hardware. Why is the hardware still
the model? A user should not say "double-click" something, he or she should
be giving the direct command, "open." Use natural language to support user
needs, not systsem artifacts.

I agree entirely. It is what happens to isolated programmers who never
get to meet the users they are supposedly coding for. I've been one
myself.

BTW do you have a link to that video?

Hi,
I've tested speech recognition two months ago and I remember, in
example, to say "Open Internet" in order to open Internet Explorer, if
you say "Menu" or "File" you open the corresponding menu, so mouse
commands are optional in some cases. On Vista's help you can find all
available commands.
