Blogging just became a little bit more fun! As I write, I am folding clothes, with two hands. How is that possible you might ask? I am using a speech recognition program.
I am fortunate enough to have a new computer. It arrived with Windows Vista loaded onto it. What I didn't know when I bought my computer is that Windows Vista has speech recognition software built into it. When I found out that I had such a cool tool hiding in my computer, I had to give it a try! After 1 hour of learning and practicing, I am now able to write with out using my hands! Well, at least until I need to edit my work.
I am an occupational therapist. Many of my clients struggle with the writing process. As a result, I often recommend that my clients use adaptations to improve their writing abilities. So, I have known for years that speech recognition programs can be very helpful. But I never thought that I would have my own!
Not only does using speech recognition software make writing more fun, it allows me to multitask in a whole new way. Just imagine the possibilities!
Happy Typing!

That sounds really neat. You can't beat being able to multi task.
