Voice recognition software allows for hands-free control of software and textual data entry. This capability has potential for integration into digital workflows for control of workflow components (cameras, software) and for data entry (dictation, metadata).


Voice Recognition Software

Nuance Dragon Naturally Speaking - Windows

Nuance Dragon Dictate - Mac

Microsoft Windows Speech Recognition - Windows 7 and Vista

Tools for integrating voice recognition software

PySpeech - Python module for accessing basic functions of Windows Speech Recognition.

NatLink - Python module for integrating with Dragon Naturally Speaking. Requires NatLink and Unimacro.
