Smaller Wireless and handheld devices are becoming increasingly smaller with corresponding smaller displays and input keys. A voice interface is not constrained by the physical size of the device.
What is Speech Recognition?
Speech Recognition is a technology that allows the computer to identify and understand words spoken by a person using a microphone or telephone. The ultimate goal of the technology is to be able to produce a system that can recognize with 100% accuracy all words that are spoken by any person.
Even after years of research in this area, the best speech recognition software applications still cannot recognize speech with 100% accuracy. Some applications are able to recognize over 90% of words when spoken under specific constraints regarding content and previous training to recognize the speaker's speech characteristics.
Computer software that understands your speech enables you to have conversations with the computer. These conversations would include you and the computer speaking as commands or in response to events, input, or other feedback.
Speaking is easier and more intuitive than selecting buttons and menu items. Human speech has evolved over many thousands of years to become an efficient method of sharing information and giving instructions.
Useful when accessing systems through pay telephones that do not have attached keyboards.

What Is It?
Command and control your Window's computer through your voice. Operate your computer using a minimum
of keystrokes or mouse clicks. If you want to move the cursor down one line, simply say: Down One.
Want to check your emails? Simply say: Open Email. Add commands to open and control any
Window's document or program.

Utilizing Microsoft's Speech Application Program Interface (SAPI) and
Microsoft's .NET Framework,
we have developed a very small and efficient voice command and recognition application. SAPI and .NET
are both required to use this software.
Dictation as Well?
Voice Dictation is integrated into the e-Speaking application including 26 different Dictation Voice Commands.
Why e-Speaking?
Our intent in developing this product was to suppliment your ability to command and control your computer
through your voice. To enable you to have access to dictation software using Microsoft's SAPI speech engine.
And to allow the computer to read documents and emails to you.
How Expensive is It?
It's Free! That's right. You can download it with over 100 built-in commands and begin using
