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.

How Does It Work?

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 is Shareware. That means: You can download it and try it out for 30 days to see if you like it. The 30 day trial period is Free! That's right. You can download it with over 100 built-in commands and begin using it today at no cost. If you really like the program and want to use it beyond the first 30 days, the cost is $14.

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.


Advantages of Interacting With Computers Through Speech


  1. Hands Speech does not require use of physical devices such as keyboards or pointing devices. Computing devices can become more compact as keyboard and mouse pointing devices take a less prominent role. Individuals with physical challenges may also benefit from the use of speech based applications.

  2. Eyes Does not require the use of vision. Speech can be performed effectively in low light environments or by persons with low or no vision. Applications for this technology may include uses where the individual needs to keep their eyes on equipment or the environment if navigating a vehicle.

  3. History People have been speaking for thousands of years and individuals start speaking at a young age.

  4. Distance Speech systems can process speech from individuals that may be at some distance away from the computer.

  5. 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.

    Background noises

    Voice and Speech recognition products are best used in quiet environments. Although the software can be trained to ignore most background noise, an unexpected noise such as telephone ring, others talking or laughing can end up in the computer attempting to recognize the extraneous sounds as if you were dictating text.

    If you are using the Voice and Speech Recognition software mainly for command and control of your computer instead of dictation, then you should make sure that all of the commands you create for the system have two or more syllables. This helps because one-syllable words are frequently mis-recognized when there are sudden changes in background noises. For example, a sneeze may be mistakenly heard by the computer as a command to: "Mute" or "New". A multiple syllable command such as: "Mute Volume" is not easily mis-heard.
