I have a quadreplegic friend that I do tech support for. All he can control in his life is his head and the cursor on his laptop.
He currently uses expensive software and an infrared projector/receiver to move his cursor and execute actions on his laptop. He has to type an email, etc. one letter at a time which involves lots of head movements and it takes him a long time to compose just a short msg.
My question is this:
Are any of you familiar with the “Speech Recognition” software built into Vista and is it worth trying to set it up for him to make it easier for him to communicate with others.
OR… should I just look for a Speech Recognition software pkg out there on the retail market. If you know of a pkg that is priced reasonably I’d love to know about it.
I don’t want to get him into the Vista speech recognition if it’s going to be a hassel for him to learn and operate, so any info you have on it would be great also.
Thanks to all for any info and help you can provide.
