Speech software on the Web

By DAVID FAUCHEUX

I have heard mention of Web 3.0 which as I understand it will use Web-based software packages as we now have the bandwidth to handle same.

Recently, I emailed a blind tech type, Chris Hofstader, and was told about Serotek's Web-based speech software. Mike Calvo is the last blind CEO of a company in the screen reader business.

It's easiest to use the software if you quit out of your currently running screen reader, and then type WindowsKey+R which launches the Windows Run dialogue. Then just type:

www.satogo.com

and you will soon hear a little tune playing. The web site will tell you what to do next and, after that, it's all very easy.

Interesting concept. One need never worry about whether speech software is loaded on a computer again.

IMAGINE That!
