Andy,

I don't know of any voice-recognition technology for browsers. I'm still looking for a way to simply associate keyboard commands (e.g. arrow keys) to the Previous/Next links!

I know of one blind person that successfully navigates SI...the computer pronounces words as he waves his mouse over them. I'm sure it will be "possible" to navigate via voice someday, but I don't believe it is yet.

Andy, Voice technology for browsers....

Some people at my office have fooled around with an IBM voice-addin for Netscape. They were trying it when IBM had a free beta on a web site somewhere. The only reference I can find now, however, is this product for sale.

software.ibm.com

Hope this helps. Let me know if this turns out to work for you (or if it sucks eggs).

Dick

Can anyone tell me what is going on with my system? I can read messages fine for about an hour or so and then everything slows down noticeable and my disk drive starts a near constant chattering. I have found (out of frustration) that if I shut down windows and then restart, every thing is ok again for another hour. Help!
