Our September, 1999 DVPC meeting will feature Lernout and Hauspie, one of the leading publishers of voice recognition software. We'll see version 4 of their Voice Xpress package, which comes in versions for all levels of users. Depending on the version (Standard, Advanced, Mobile Professional, and Professional), Voice Xpress features dictation into Microsoft Word, or almost any Windows applications. And it has been updated to work with Microsoft Office 2000. The demonstration will show how Voice Xpress achieves up to 98% accuracy, how L&H XpressStart lets you begin using the package as soon as you install it, TalkingTools (five desktop accessories designed to be operated by voice), and TalkingText (hear your documents or email read out loud to you, making editing easier).
DVPC meetings are held in the lobby conference room in Building B at the Bank of America Technology Center office complex in Concord, located near the northeast corner of Clayton Road at Galindo (see the Map to Monthly Meetings on page 15). Please use the main entrance of the building, which is in the center of the front of the building that faces Clayton road.
Doors open at 6:30 p.m. and the main meeting starts at 7:00 p.m. From 6:30 to 7:00 we'll have the New User's SIG meeting; you can visit the Networking Table if you have something to sell or trade, need technical help, or just want to exchange views; and, as usual, we'll have library disks and those great DVPC mugs (version 2) for sale. The main meeting will include SIG news, random access, our presenters, and some of our usual great door prizes. See you at this month's meeting!
