One of the latest features on Microsoft’s XBox360 games & entertainment system is voice control which in many cases removes the need for the controller or other remote, but did you know that similar features are already built into your computer.
Both Microsoft Windows and Apple OS X have built-in accessibility options to make the computer easier to use for the visually impaired…and this includes speech recognition.
Using a microphone plugged into your computer you can launch programs using just your voice and even dictate text into a document instead of typing…and the more you speak to your computer, the better it will get at understanding your voice.
You’ll find out how to enable speech recognition for your PC HERE.
