Hi there, its been more than a month since my last update. I can say I got my hands full lately though it might be more of an excuse I'd have to admit,hahaha =P Ok, straight to the point, I want to introduce 2 great softwares to bring out the laziness in you. I had downloaded one last year but rarely use it and I've come across another a couple of days ago. Here's the catch, if you ever be somewhat too lazy to type your supposedly long boring article in your blog, read it out loud or in case you are a frequent reader of 'that' boring blog, stay back, relax and have the article being read to you,perhaps as a bed-time story eh?
These 2 softwares make full use of the speech-to-text technology and vice-versa. Simply put, everything you say will be converted into a full text. That's not all, the speech recognition technology used will also allow the user to control certain commands of the pc just by a simple word. Frankly speaking I don't really find any of these useful but hey it does help a whole lot especially for a lazy blogger like myself.
While one software converts the speech into text, the other turns the text into speech. See, now you have less reasons to strain you big round eyes in front of the screen to read the small lengthy news thus reducing risk of damaging your balls...i mean....eyeballs (no hard feeling 4 eyes guys please). For both, they work best in English only, the downside on the other hand, you might find the speech-to-text software a little bit irritating if you are not a native speaker because you have to pronounce each word right or else it will be falsely interpreted by the software. As usual, watch the review videos I made at the bottom. If you are interested, come have a copy of the softwares from me.

syamim, my apologies for snooping at your blog :P the 2 softwares are good for the deaf community to bridge the communication gap with us (supposedly "normal" ones). don't u think so? i am thinking, kalau deaf students are equipped with the speech to text software in their laptop, then universities tak yah nak provide sign language interpreters at each lecture session for the deaf students. altho, kalau cakap pasal Msia, support for deaf education are largely ABSENT.
saje je menyemak kat blog awak.

Interesting piece of softwares but the second video apparently is 'sound'less. Hope you can fix that one.
If you use it right, I don't think it will make one become lazier I reckon. Just like what Kak Zaidah said, one of its useful usage is to help the disabled folks.
iceman - yeah, thanks for your highlight on the 'soundless' video.I tried to convert the video again and uploaded the new one but it didnt work.The video itself works fine but it seems the uploaded video in youtube appears soundless.i'll try to find another way to fix this problem and upload the working one asap.btw,kak zaidah might be right in pointing the +ve side of the softwares.No, she is absolutely right. why the hell i cant think on when the software can be put in gud use.uuhh
2nd video updated.sorry for the blurry image as I have to reduce the video quality to reduce the file size coz my internet upload speed is kinda slow =P
