Voice recognition - Solidworks

It's been done, there is a link in google about some people at a university who set it up with dragon and sw for people with disabilities.

I've played around with dragon a few years ago for general computing and it is very cool and functional. It has a great mouse grid function which can be suprisingly accurate.

The only thing I would have to watch when using it is keeping all of the

Look up the "language bar" in Windows help. I'm not sure if this has always been in XP, but I've been seeing it for some time. When I let Windows install Internet Explorer 7, it was set to be on by default.

I haven't attempted control of anything with it yet, but there appear to be tools for that included.

Although I think voice recognition could be useful.

Actually, this is something that was done with ACAD about 15 years ago with some fairly good success. I looked into this a little back then but the technology didn't seem to be prefected very well. But hopefully the technology in this area has improved. This is something that could really be useful... I can imagine having all of the hot keys plus a few others like "escape" and "enter" that could have a tremendous improvement on effeciency. Perhaps SW should add this into the "hot key" system?

I tried both "Dragon" and "IBM", and there was a huge perf hit. But that was maybe 10 years ago, machines are now much more powerful.
