Would you like to write documents by speaking to your computer, rather
than typing, or are you somebody who needs to perform all your
computer operations with little or no use of your hands? While still
challenging, these feats are becoming ever more possible with the
steady improvement of speech recognition technology.

Dean Martineau will provide an overview of the available resources to
make this all possible on Tek Talk on July 19 at 5:00 P.M. Pacific
Time, 8:00 P.M. Eastern time, 00:00 Tuesday GMT. He will provide
guidelines to help you evaluate which of the available speech
recognition options might be for you, and will demonstrate some
aspects of them. This will be an opportunity for you to learn about
the state of the art in speech recognition as it pertains to the
blind, and to ask questions about your own situation.
