November 10, 2005 (PRLEAP.COM) Technology News
Vero Beach, FL http://www.coolsoftllc.com/ [CoolSoft, LLC] (www.CoolSoftLLC.com) announces the release of a newly enhanced SpeakToText™ 2.0, its flagship voice recognition software. The new SpeakToText 2.0 Version 2.35 is a speech to text software solution that enables users to dictate text to almost any application. Users can dictate text and copy it to Microsoft Word with a single speech command, write and send chat messages entirely by speech recognition in MSN Messenger, AOL Instant Messenger, Yahoo Instant Messenger, ICQ and PalTalk. Users can also compose and send emails in Outlook, Outlook Express and Netscape just by talking to their computer. SpeakToText 2.0 has a WAV to text feature that enables users to easily convert WAV files they create into text.



New features in SpeakToText™ 2.0, Version 2.35 include an Advanced Mode that lets users switch dictation between applications and windows with the click of a mouse; a Text to Speech feature that reads documents, emails, webpages and text from the clipboard; and a Custom Commands feature that lets users create their own speech commands to start programs, browse web pages, play music, make their computer talk back and much more. The new release also includes a more robust speech recognition layer to improve performance, and new speech commands to enhance the user experience. Improved documentation makes it easier than ever for users to start benefiting from the power of voice recognition.



“SpeakToText 2.0 is the speech recognition software computer users have been waiting for,” said Paul Lagassey of CoolSoft, LLC. “Now people can create their documents, emails and instant messages without touching their keyboards. The new features are a significant enhancement to the functionality of SpeakToText 2.0 that enables users to do much more. And best of all, SpeakToText 2.0, gives users much of the functionality of high priced speech recognition programs for a fraction of the cost.” Lagassey went on to say “Speech recognition gives users a third means of interfacing with their computer to compliment the mouse and keyboard. SpeakToText 2.0 is a great tool for anyone who wants to use speech recognition to enhance their computing experience and become more productive, and it is an ideal solution for helping users prevent or manage carpal tunnel syndrome or other disabilities that make it difficult to type.



SpeakToText 2.0 has a user-friendly interface and comes with state-of-the-art voice recognition technology from Microsoft Corporation. The SpeakToText™ 2.0’s Advanced Mode lets the user dictate directly into other applications, easily switch between applications with a mouse click, and write and send chat messages with a single speech command. The SpeakToText 2.0 update feature finds and installs updates automatically as CoolSoft, LLC continues to improve SpeakToText 2.0, and all previous customers will benefit from this update at no additional cost.



Lagassey said, “One of our goals at CoolSoft is make it easy for customers to succeed with using speech recognition, and that’s why SpeakToText 2.0 is designed with speech enabled dialog boxes and tool tips to guide users through the program. The “What Can I Say?” speech command displays a list of available speech commands at any given pin the program. SpeakToText 2.0 includes all the documentation users need to start using SpeakToText 2.0 and speech recognition. The Manual, Quick Start Guide and a list of Dictation Commands can all be displayed from the program with speech commands. There’s even a how-to video that shows users how to set up and training Microsoft speech recognition.” Lagassey also noted “the new SpeakToText 2.0 Quick Reference Guide, a concise overview of all SpeakToText 2.0 functionality and commands which is available on the CoolSoft, LLC website. All these resources are designed to help users get the most out of using speech to text with their computer.”



SpeakToText 2.0 is compatible with Microsoft Word, Outlook, Outlook Express, Netscape Mail 7.2, Open Office, AOL Instant Messenger, Microsoft Messenger, Yahoo Instant Messenger, ICQ, PalTalk, and almost any other program that accepts text.
