The way I see things is that sighted people do not use the keyboard, so
why should blind people? I sent an email message to a staff member at
GWMicro and he tells me that Window-eyes does not currently support
commercial voice recognition software. How many other screenreader
manufactures support commercial voice recognition software?

[LINK] Product Descriptions
Kurzweil VoicePlus and Kurzweil VoicePro for Windows Release 2.5 are
the latest versions of our large vocabulary, award-winning voice
recognition system for Windows 95 and Windows 3.1x. Release 2.5
combines Kurzweil AI's latest discreet speech recognition technology
with its continuous digit recognizer, allowing users to rapidly and
efficiently enter numeric data.
Using Kurzweil VoicePlus and VoicePro, you can combine speech with the
keyboard and mouse to develop an easy and natural approach to personal
computing. The programs support voice input for navigation, which
drives the Windows operating system and Windows-based applications on
a command and control basis, and dictation, which enables the user to
create text and enter data simply by speaking.
Kurzweil VoicePlus comes with a 30,000 word active vocabulary, while
Kurzweil VoicePro comes complete with a 60,000 word active vocabulary.
Each includes an on-line dictionary, including acoustic models and
spellings, for a total of 200,000 words. In addition, you can
customize both editions by adding thousands of your own words and
commands. You can even create a unique vocabulary suited to your
professional specialty.
Kurzweil VoicePlus and VoicePro provide built-in commands for Windows
95, Windows 3.1x, QualComm's Eudora Pro, Intuit's Quicken, and for the
most recent versions of the leading Windows software applications,
including Microsoft Office, Lotus SmartSuite and CorelOffice. Users
can easily voice-enable virtually all other Windows applications as
well. Our enhanced Command Learning Feature ensures that all the words
in any application added with Command Learning come in already
trained.
Kurzweil VoicePlus and VoicePro are easy to install, learn and use.
The products are speaker-independent, require no initial training, and
can be used right out-of-the-box with greater than 90% recognition
accuracy. It also automatically adapts to users' speech and language
patterns, boosting ongoing recognition accuracy to 97% and higher. In
addition, our three new child profiles enable individuals under 17
years of age to create user profiles which deliver superior
recognition and throughput performance.
Work more naturally with Kurzweil VoicePlus and VoicePro's new
intuitive editing capability, Point & Fix. Users can now dictate (or
type) lengthy documents in either Microsoft Word (6.0 or 7.0), then go
back to any location within the document and easily make changes. All
by VOICE! Now users can fully concentrate on text creation and
content, leaving the editing for last. In addition, the Point & Fix
method of editing is not only easier to use and far more flexible, but
also increases dictation throughput due to the significant reduction
in dictation interrupts.
Kurzweil VoicePlus and VoicePro appeal to a wide range of users:
Executives and professionals with limited typing skills; individuals
whose jobs are keyboard and mouse intensive; students; computer
novices as well as experts; and, those who are suffering from pain or
injury from the repetitive motion of the keyboard and mouse. Kurzweil
VoicePlus and VoicePro Release 2.5 support 'hands-free' control of the
PC and can enhance personal computing power among all users.
