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

    Regards

    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

    Anyone used any voice recognition software to drive Solidworks.
    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.

    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.
