Powerfully Useful Speech Recognition -

  • Use the power of your voice to create reports, presentations and spreadsheets quickly.
  • Say numbers, currencies, dates and prices normally and they appear in the correct format.
  • Enjoy high recognition accuracy - ViaVoice 98 uses three - word context checking to help it recognise the words you dictate.
  • Create VoiceText dictation macros to insert standard paragraphs without having to stop dictating. VoiceForm dictation templates can also save you time for frequently used report formats and forms.
  • Control your PC by launching programs with your voice. Say file names, toolbar buttons and icon names with "Say What You See" navigation. (This only applies to ViaVoice 98 Executive)
  • Switch between commands, correction and dictation quickly, easily and naturally, thanks to the new modeless operation.
Natural Language Commands -
  • Use intuitive Natural Language Commands in Microsoft Word 97 for easy formatting and editing.
  • You can create documents, insert tables, change fonts, move paragraphs and print the perfect document. For example, when you want to insert a table, pause and say, "Insert a table with three rows and four columns".
Proof-reading and Editing Made Easy -
  • Format, correct and edit dictated text with your voice.
  • Playback your dictation in your own voice to help you make corrections.
  • Make corrections as you dictate, later, or delegate them to a colleague. Your recorded voice remains with the file to aid correction.
