This program is helpful for people who have difficulty typing for any reason, although a small amount of typing and mouse control is needed. It converts speech into text. Users speak into a microphone attached to the computer and NatSpeak will type whatver is said into a word processing or other application. NatSpeak allows users to create documents, e-mail, and other text documents with voice instead of typing. It also allows users to format text and even control certain aspects of the computer by using speaking commands instead of using the keyboard or mouse.
Users can see the printed material on the screen and hear the text read aloud.
The word, phrase, line, sentence, or paragraph being read is highlighted. Kurzweil 3000 retains the document's original type font, format, and illustrations. This software can also be used to proofread documents created by the user. Kurzweil 3000 is useful for people with dyslexia or other reading difficulties. It provides instant access to books, magazines, handwritten letters, and pictures with magnification from 4X to 32X. Users control the magnification, zoom level, and color of the display.
