Here comes world’s first Voice Mouse or I must say voice computer mouse that follows voice command and works according to it. It just waits for your command and performs whatever you request.
First Voice Mouse was developed by an Israeli-American firm and has promised with a lot of new features to come in coming years. Voice Mouse is a device that is like a God gift to those people who have physical disability, like blindness or incapable to use hands. You can control movement of cursor comfortably. Using Voice Mouse is not a child’s play; its user has to make proper coordination of voice command and visual perception.
This hand-free navigation tool can be use to open files simply on voice. Voice Mouse increases your accessibility. Using Voice Mouse, user can write emails and can modify documents very easily. You can direct cursor of Voice Mouse to menus, toolbar buttons etc. You can also perform double click or right click using your voice as command. Qpointer a product of Commodios firm is powered by Microsoft speech recognition engine allowing its users to click any of the objects on computer screen through voice. This product is beneficial for those who suffer from paralysis. With the help of Qpointer disabled people are also entering in computer field as there is no other way for them to use computer system. Voice Mouse is a complete solution for everyone who wants to be in touch to computers, but could not do so due to some handicap.
Voice mouse controls the pointer on screen on the basis of voice command given to it. Anyone can use it easily as it does not require complicated installation. The design of voice mouse was made based on the fact that the user should be able to produce simple voice command to perform certain operations. The system provides some basic interaction protocol and application specific protocols that allows user to operate voice mouse easily. In case of basic protocol, you have to choose four vowels that are A, E, I, O, U. Here each vowel is associated with direction of motion of pointer on the screen. In the same way combination of vowels as AE, AI, AO, EA tells about the pressure, the release and the click of mouse buttons to perform operations like double click and drag and drop. Association made between commands like (A, E, I, O, AE, AI…..) and events like pointer right, pointer left, pointer up, pointer down, click left button etc is done by user. Next protocol i.e. application protocol gets activated when cursor enters any particular area on the computer screen. These protocols take user commands to perform certain actions that can be seen on screen. Suppose user describes window of any file or application in configuration file, now as soon as pointer enters in to that particular window application protocol gets activated. Using Voice Mouse, you can type words using virtual keyboard. So no need to type keyboard manually. All you have to do is give command to Voice Mouse to perform operations asked by its users.
Now let’s see what are the hardware and software requirements needed in order to use Voice Mouse. If you want to use Voice Mouse for your system you must have an Audio Card like Sound Blaster and one head mounted speaking microphone. And in software you need to have operating system either Windows 95 or WindowsNT. With these basic requirements you can have a voice mouse that can work wonders for you.
