Today I received a catalog called MacAvenue, which seems to be the Mac offshoot of CompuAdd, the pc clone mail order company. In it, they have an add for a voice activated computer board from Articulate Systems. It's called the Voice Navigator II. Here's the text: You didn't think it could happen, but here it is: the Voice Navigator II from Articulate Systems. Now your computer can really (;^) respond to your voice. And we're not talking about simple one-two-three. Voice Navigator II recognizes voice commands in any application. Whether selecting graphics tools, responding to dialog boxes, your personalized macros, or entering information in a database, the Mac now qualifies as man's best friend. Open the pod bay doors, Hal... The picture is a little strange, looks like s Sony Discman in size. Has two 25 pin connectors (female) on back plus a small microphone plugged into it. The Microphone sits on a stand is about 12 inches high. I'm not up on voice activation, but does anyone know what the scoop is these days? This sounds great. Just think of the database applications. Data entry by voice (it might take longer to error check than to just type it in).
