Voice synthesis and voice recognition products
There are a number of products available for both voice synthesis and voice recognition, including IBM Via Voice and Dragon Naturally Speaking. You can find further information about two of the best known products at the following web sites:
IBM Via Voice: http://www-306.ibm.com/software/voice/viavoice/
Dragon Naturally Speaking: http://www.scansoft.com/naturallyspeaking/
Some operating system versions have voice synthesis built in. Again the AbilityNet MyWay site at: http://www.abilitynet.org.uk/myway/ has information on this topic

Select a voice recognition package and a voice synthesis package available to your library service. In each case set up the package and get practice at using it. Jot down sufficient notes so that you can demonstrate it to a client in the future. |
