MyVoice - voice controlled PC tool (2005)
The program named MyVoice was completed in 2005 and since that time, several tens of handicapped users have learned to use it. It allows them to control any application installed on their computers entirely by voice. Any program running under Microsoft
Windows OS can be started and controlled by voice commands imitating key-presses and mouse actions. In this way one can utilize an Internet browser, exchange e-mails, draw pictures, listen to music, or type text documents.
The tools from MyVoice program are based on a common recognition engine that process the speech signal from a microphone and translates it into events. These can allow namely for:
- activation or deactivation of the output from the engine to allow for a sleeping mode
- modification (swap or update) of the current lexicon
- simulation of key-press and mouse-event actions (and their combinations) to control running applications
- print of a text (according to the given local settings) into an active text window,
- launch of a program (together with its arguments)
- sending of messages to control external devices connected to the given PC
In 2020, a completely new version of the program was created MyVoice, version 2.0 - 2020
