Voice Activation /
Other Software

Dragon NaturallySpeaking Professional 9
Dragon
NaturallySpeaking is a voice activated software program.
As fast as you can speak, the software program is able
to translate your vocalized words into written words.
This software allows physically disabled individuals the
opportunity to use their voice to control and access the
majority of all Microsoft software programs. There are
many special features on the Professional Edition to
make one's voice even more powerful, example adding
voice commands. I've programmed my Dragon
NaturallySpeaking program to interpret the words "my
e-mail address" as
determined2heal@aol.com The Professional
Edition is the best program out there for the disabled
community when it comes to voice activation software. |
"Dragon NaturallySpeaking Professional 9 is
section 508 certified, and offers complete hands-free
use of the PC for users with disabilities. Dragon
NaturallySpeaking Professional 9 also includes optional
tools for network deployments, such as support for
Citrix thin clients."

Dycem nonslip plastic I use dycem with so many
daily activities. I consider dycem to be my third
hand. Whatever you put on it sticks to it.
It does not leave any sticky residue and is washable
which is a plus because I use it underneath my plates
when eating. |
