Good Cross-Platform Speech-Recognition Programs?
CryoStasis writes "I am a graduate student getting my degree in biomedical sciences. Because my work often requires me to maintain a local sterile environment (under a biological hood) I find that I am unable to physically touch my computer, which sits aside of me, in order to open my notes, protocols, etc. while I’m working. As a result I have begun to search for a voice-recognition program that will allow me to tell the computer what files/programs to launch. I know that the general field of voice recognition has come a long way, but I find that the build in speech recognition systems in both OS X and Vista, clunky and difficult to use. Are there any good quality, cross-platform speech-recognition programs available that might fit the bill?"Read more of this story at Slashdot.
