Voice recognition software allows you to input information into your computer by speaking into a computer microphone. But what are the benefits, and whom does this help?
Helping the Disabled
Blind individuals can now use voice recognition software to create computer-generated documents. The software also helps individuals who have lost the use of their hands as a result of accident, injury or disease.
Multi-Tasking
For individuals who work in an environment where they must move around their office frequently, voice recognition software aids them by doing the typing for them. Professionals such as doctors use this software to input patient record data.
Helping Dyslexics
Voice recognition software aids students who are dyslexic, by inputting the words for them. This eliminates frustration resulting from the need to decode words and figure out how to write them on paper. The software has been reported to have vastly improved their grades in school.
Used in Making Movies
Voice recognition software is used in film making. When an actor needs to do voiceovers in such movies as animated films, this software is used to add their voice into the film while the movie plays. This software begins to record as the actor speaks.
Use in Transcription
Individuals who perform transcription use files created on voice recognition software to generate paper files or documents used in many different industries. One such industry would be insurance.
