Hi,
Today, any thing is possible. The solutions that I allude to could be used in the long-run, if not in the short-run to solve the problem of his examinations. 1. Foot Pedals- These can be assigned 3 main keys or mouse clicks and can be operated using the feet of a person. These are used for taking notes and performing other word processing operations. For more information, check out www.nxpeds.com. 2. Voice-recognition systems- These enable a user to enter text, browse web, check emails, and perform other computer based tasks. One of the best speech recognition software is Dragon NaturallySpeaking (www.nuance.com/naturallyspeaking) that works well with screen readers especially Jaws. Another one is IBM’s ViaVoice, and a free way of trying out speech recognition is to use Microsoft’s speech recognition engine (http://support.microsoft.com/kb/306537). Voice-recognition can be combined with Braille displays to read and write on the PC. Regards “I think computer viruses should count as life. I think it says something about human nature that the only form of life we have created so far is purely destructive. We've created life in our own image.” ~ Stephen Hawking --- On Mon, 10/12/09, rakesh negi <mr.rakeshn...@gmail.com> wrote: > From: rakesh negi <mr.rakeshn...@gmail.com> > Subject: [AI] suggestion needed > To: accessindia@accessindia.org.in > Date: Monday, October 12, 2009, 1:07 PM > Hai list, > > Couple of days ago, I got a typical case to handle.
