Realize Voice is powerful and highly configurable software that gives you total control of your computer using your voice. It incorporates the very latest in speech recognition, speech synthesis and accessibility technologies from Microsoft.

Realize Voice increases productivity by adding voice as another mode of input to your computer and can be configured to complement, reduce or even eliminate use of the computer keyboard and mouse. Virtually anyone can use it for everyday jobs such as browsing the web or sending email, including people with mobility impairments or repetitive stress injuries.

Here are some key features of "Realize Voice":

· Voice Macros
· Unlimited power and configurability. Capture keyboard and mouse input and play it all back using your voice. Create your own customized Voice Macros to simulate and automate keyboard or mouse input for anything from a single key press to the most complex series of CAD operations. Voice Macros can be made application-specific to control any application using voice and can be repeated any number of times.
· Decision commands
· Question & Answer format to interactively determine what to do when a Voice Macro is run. Decision commands are very powerful in that answers can be used to run nearly any other command. You can even have Decision commands within Decision commands to have questions to follow-up the original.
· Personality commands
· Give your computer a personality by being able to respond randomly and not the same way every time. For example, Realize Voice includes a Thank You macro which responds randomly from a list of responses. In this example, when you say "Thank You", the first time it might reply "You're welcome" and the next time it might reply "No problem".
· Windows Navigation and Web Browsing
