Mac OS X Tiger/Handwriting and Speech

This page or section is an undeveloped draft or outline. You can help to develop the work, or you can ask for assistance in the project room. |
Introduction
[edit | edit source]While we traditionally interact with our computers with a keyboard and mouse, Mac OS X supports two other kinds of input device: a microphone and a tablet.
Speech
[edit | edit source]Text to Speech
[edit | edit source]Speech Recognition
[edit | edit source]Operating a computer with your voice may seem like something out of a futuristic sci-fi movie. But the future is now, and Mac OS X lets you control certain functions with your voice.
|
NOTE: Mac OS X cannot handle speech dictation - it cannot write the things you say. It can only use your voice to activate certain commands. |
Ink
[edit | edit source]"Ink" is the name of Apple's handwriting recognition technology, borrowed from the now-defunct Newton PDA. Now that it's been applied to Mac OS X, not only can you use your tablet to draw, but also to write.
