I happened to notice in the new Newsweek ( July 13,'98) a short note about a new software program. Here's the quote:(pg.10) "Talk about t good deal---or write about it with Free Speech 98, a $39.00 voice recognition program by Phillips (www.freespeech98.com). Like its more costly competitors, Free Speech98 accurately trans;lates speech into text and lets users navigate Windows with somple voice commends instyead of a mouse. Out of the box, the program has a 270,000 word vocabulary and can be customized to recognize 64,000 more. To get talking, you'll need a microphone, a sound card equivalent to Sound Blaster and something to say." Disclaimer: I only know what I read in Newsweek! Don't own stock in Phillips, don't have or expect to get a program like this--but thought folks might be interested. ;-) Camilla Flintermann, CG for Peter 80/9 Oxford, OH [log in to unmask] "http://www.newcountry.nu/pd/members/camilla/one.htm" My Home Page * * * * * * * * * * * * * * * * * * Ask me about the CARE list for* * Parkinson's caregivers ! * * * * * * * * * * * * * * * * * *
