Voice recognition - Solidworks

Anyone used any voice recognition software to drive Solidworks.
Something like Dragon perhaps?

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
1$%!@)((!@*%)!(*@#$ words out of my notes when it crashes :-0

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.

 

That was just too funny - thanks!

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.
