Date: Tue, 4 Jan 2000 17:26:44 -0500 (EST) From: Mary Hopkins Subject: [Boston-voice-users] MEETING 1/11/00 The next meeting of Boston Voice Users will be held on Tuesday, 1/11/00, at 7:30 p.m., in MIT room 2-135. Directions at the end of this message. This month's presenters will be Kim Patch and Eric Smalley, who will be talking about how they use Dragon NaturallySpeaking in their home office. "We use NatSpeak Professional hands-free to write news stories, build Web sites and write macros. It is, for us, a tool to speed up the work we do. Unfortunately, the program doesn't do this out of the box. "We will talk about what we had to do to make NatSpeak -- and the way we use computers -- both hands-free and more useful. We'll also offer some thoughts we've had along the way about human-computer interaction, real estate and speech as an interface. "The software we use and have automated includes Windows Explorer, Netscape and Internet Explorer, Eudora, NetObjects Fusion, Photoshop, Word, NotePad and CuteFTP. Our speech macros and accompanying documentation are posted at www.scriven.com." Directions to room: Go in the main door of MIT, at 77 Mass Ave. Go straight down the Infinite Corridor for as long as you can. When forced to turn, go right. You'll pass an intersection decorated with murals of jungle animals. There'll be a hallway to the library on your left, stairs on your right. Keep going straight, 2-135 is a couple of doors further along on your left. For wheelchair access: use the door at 33 Mass Ave, toward the River from the main door. There's a lift there. Please feel free to cross-post this message. _______________________________________________ Boston-voice-users maillist - Boston-voice-users@harvee.billerica.ma.us http://harvee.billerica.ma.us/mailman/listinfo/boston-voice-users
