Say-MAGic demonstration on Tek Talk March 30

From the Accessible World News Wire at listservice@mail.accessibleworld.org:

Say-MAGic - An Exciting New Product Launched at CSUN 2009

For some time it has been possible to talk to the computer using a natural voice while at the same time receiving speech feedback from it, allowing a blind person to control the computer without using the keyboard. But low vision users (or people with dyslexia and language challenges who need enhanced visual display support) have not been able to benefit from this technology. Now they can with Say-MAGic. Linking Dragon NaturallySpeaking from Nuance and MAGic from Freedom Scientific together, Say-MAGic provides a fantastic range of facilities for users of display management technology who wish to control the computer with the voice. This product was very well received at the CSUN 2009 conference in Los Angeles!

Brian Hartgen, Product Development Manager of T&T Consultancy, will give a live demonstration of the product within Tek Talk on 30 March 2009. In addition, Ed Rosenthal from Next Generation Technologies Incorporated (who has vast experience in using voice input technology) will talk about the significance of Say-MAGic upon the Access Technology market today. Plenty of time will be available for questions to the presenters.
