Speech recognition for a programmer with RSI (not how to do in Java)

Guys, someone that I know has developed RSI and has almost had to drop out of programming.
Has any other programmer here been faced with this and been able to work around it? In particular, have you found a decent speech recognition system that allowed you to continue to work?
Note that I am not interested in learning how to implement speech recognition in a Java program, which is what [most of the posts here|http://forum.java.sun.com/thread.jspa?threadID=5310499&tstart=0] are concerned with.
I am aware of Dragon Naturally Speaking, but there are some terrible reviews of it which have made me nervous. But if any of you give a glowing review, I will reconsider.
Since this is a java forum, and one of the best academic research projects in this field is [Sphinx-4|http://cmusphinx.sourceforge.net/sphinx4/] which is based on Java, does anyone know of an end user application comparable to Dragon Naturally Speaking which uses Sphinx-4?

  • Speech recognition for 5800 XM

    Is anyone aware of an application that would allow speech recognition for mobile in a similar way to Dragon type software for PCs. I'm looking to create texts/documents/notes/emails by voice rather than touch.
    Thanks.

    I have done a little bit of research since posting this.
    Nuance (owns Dragon software) has been purchasing IT/development applications that will permit this.......in the future...sigh.... I reckon it is about 12 months away.
    In the interim, phone developers can work with Nuance to include it in future models, but it is not yet accessible as an add-on.... at least as far as I can tell.

  • Speech recognition for Safari in iPhone?

    Is there an app (free preferably) for Speech recognition for Safari in iPhone/iPad etc?
    This should include scrolling up and down, and moving back and forward pages.
    Other control would be nice, but not mandatory.
    Thanks

    I saw this one:
    +Voice Lookup is another iPhone voice recognition app. It allows you to use most of your phone's functionality using voice commands. You can call, compose text messages, email, map locations and even add web bookmarks and browse web pages using your voice. You'll find the app's mapping features very useful for locating business establishments while on the go. The app relies on a phonetic speaker dependent recognizer which was designed to adapt to the users voice. For a more accurate recognition, you must train the app to recognize your voice through constant practice. (Price: $2.99)+
    But it did not have great reviews...

    Siri will likely never be available, but there are third party apps you can use. Dragon Dictation isn't too bad, although you do have to be online for it to work.

    You do have a very complex looking site and may need several tables in mysql to handle all that data. If you knew to phpmysql I would suggest taking a look at this tutorial it will help get you started in understanding how to $_GET info from a database and also how to $_POST data to a database. I am no expert just learning myself and I found this very helpful. This is the link http://www.adobe.com/devnet/dreamweaver/articles/first_dynamic_site_pt1.html
    There are also many tutorials on Youtube to help build a CMS Content Management Site I would suggest the following: -
    http://www.youtube.com/user/phpacademy
    http://www.youtube.com/user/betterphp
    http://www.youtube.com/user/flashbuilding
    And many more on my channel here

    CMS's are easier to maintain, add edit and delete content.
    I have also recently bought a Book by David Powers Training from the Source very helpful.
    Anyway hope you get it sorted.

  • Speech recognition for lanaguage input

    I am new to Mac, hope someone can give me some hints on this...
    I am mixing both English and Chinese to type in my daily basis. Just wondering if it's possible I can use Speech Recognition to change language input method (English to Chinese, or Chinese to English) as I type? Thank you!!!

    No there aren't ways to do this, you'll have to use keyboard shortcuts.

  • Index failure for a PDF with Extraction Not Allowed

    Hi,
    We have a few PDFs files protected against Page Extraction.
    Is it possible to pass the password to the TREX Engine, somehow, in order to be able to index these files? We want to keep this protection, because the users should not be able to extract any information, when opening the documents.
    Thanks & Best Regards,
    John

    The Template .dwt file is only used locally by DW itself, there's no reason to upload it to the server unless you intend to share it with someone. You have to upload each individual page that the Template updates, every time you update the template and propagate that change across the child pages.
    It would probably be better to use a server side include. That way, you could update one file then upload it and all of your pages would automatically carry that update...

    It's especially handy if your site gets to the point where you have more than about 20 pages.

  • Preferences for Open Application With is not working (although preferences are saved/appearing. Thoughts?

    Although the preferences for using certain applications to open downloaded files is set and saved (it still appears when accessed), the preferences are either not utilized automatically (for most files) or remembered at all for others (docx files). So, each time I try to download/open a docx file, I have to "browse" and tell firefox to use microsoft word, even though the preference is already set. I see that some people are having trouble with preferences being deleted, but that is not that case here. Thanks!

  • Disco for Oracle Apps with Scheduling not in Apps ~ Throws Error ORA-06502

    Hi All,
    I have had an SR with Oracle for almost 1/2 year now to set-up scheduling with the scheduling schema not being Apps. They have not been able to fix this yet.
    I have used note 757831.1. When I try to set-up a schedule that is recurring, the following error is thrown: ORA-06502.
    Does any one have a success story associated with setting-up scheduling in a Disco Oracle Apps end user layer where the scheduling schema is not apps?

  • Please tell me you can use pan/zoom tool for photo slideshow with photos not cropped to screen?

    I'm new to Mac and Premiere Elements (former PC/Sony Vegas Movie user), and am trying to do a Ken Burns type photo slideshow wherein my photos are left in their normal cropped state.  Right now it seems all photos get cropped to fill the screen size (i.e. 16:9).  I saw where you could uncheck the scale photo size to media (or something to that effect) under the general setting in preferences, but using the pan/zool tool still shows photos cropped to fill screen.  I realize conflicting aspect ratio will result in black bars top/bottom or left/right of frame, and that's ok/what I want.  I'm hoping this is doable?  Thanks, Jim

    The primary question that I have is what is the end product...DVD-VIDEO Standard on DVD disc, DVD-VIDEO Widescreen on DVD disc or other?
    Let us assume for now DVD-VIDEO Widescreen on DVD disc. The next question that falls into line is the one relating to what you describe as an assortment of photos going into this project...what are the pixel dimensions (what range of...) and aspect ratio. For aspect ratio, are we talking 4:3 or 16:9. How many of these photos are landscape oriented or how many portrait oriented.
    In generalities at this point, I would ask you to look at:
    a. bringing your photos appropriately sized into a Premiere Elements project with an appropriate project preset.
    b. leaving Edit Menu/Preferences/General with its Default Scale to Frame Size with a check mark.
    c. in the workspace, scaling the photos to just fill the space in the Edit Mode Monitor
    d. then one by one pan and zoom a photo with the Pan and Zoom Tool.
    If you use this Tool, you should get good results. One consideration is that the process results in the Timeline photo having a much larger duration AFTER than BEFORE. If you see any pros in using this tool for your purposes, then you might want to explore the technique that I described for applying a pan and zoom effect from this Tool to more than one photo at a time.
    http://www.atr935.blogspot.com/2013/05/pe11-pan-zoom-tool-more-than-one-photo.html
    You also might want to explore fxEffects/Presets for horizontal and vertical pans or zoom. The catch in the presets is that you can apply a pan OR zoom, not a pan AND zoom to each photo.
    Keyframing of Scale (for Zoom) and Position (for Pan) should be explored under Applied Effects/Applied Effects Palette/Motion Panel expanded/Scale and Position properties.
    With more details from you, we could go step by step in any of the above.
    We will be watching for your progress.
    Thanks.

  • Print smartforms for service order with printer, not a spool in CRM WebUI

    Dear Experts!
    We have a long list of different print forms for a service order. We would love to have a list of these forms appearing when clicking on "Print" button to choose from.
    We have made appropriate settings in SPRO (CRM -> Basic Functions -> Actions -> Actions in Transaction -> Change Actions and Conditions -> Define Action Profiles and Actions & Define Conditions). Option "Print Immediately" is set, and the Output Device is set to local printer. So now we have the following results:
    - When clicking "Print Preview", a window appears where one of the possible forms may be selected to be shown as PDF.
    - When clicking "Print", one of the forms is being moved to spool. So, you may only enter the spool in GUI and send the document to printer.
    There is only one help topic about printing, that says:
    Prerequisites
    Actions are displayed on the Print pushbutton if the following criteria are met:
    -The print action is set as relevant for the toolbar
    - A print smart form is defined as the processing type
    - The action is set to Execute immediately
    - The action is inactive, that is, it is set to be executed manually
    Please, give us a hint on how to make customizing to send document right to the printer.

    Hi Alex,
    This Business Add-In (PRINTER_DETERM_PPF) is used in the Actions (CRM-BF-ACI) component. It enables you to determine a printer more flexibly than the standard Customizing activity allows you to. For example, if you want to print an e-mail confirmation from a local printer in your office, and not from the usual printer for your entire department, you can use this add-in to do so.
    Get back to me for a more info.
    Hope this helps.
    Cheers, Satish

    Is there?

    Once you redeem the card, you will have a credit balance in your account that you can use for purchases.
