Item Description

Have you always wanted to sit back and use your computer without touching it or looking at it? Well here's your chance! Bid and win this combo package which includes a copy each of J-Say Pro and Dragon NaturallySpeaking Medical version 10.0 software to make it happen!

J-Say Pro combines the unparalleled flexibility of your JAWS for Windows version 10.0 or 11.0 screen reading software (JFW software not included in this package) with the outstanding voice recognition capabilities of Dragon Naturally Speaking Medical version 10.0.

This product can be used by someone with a visual impairment or has difficulty using traditionally accepted methods of input access and control, or by anyone who wants to be more productive.

J-Say Pro provides access to applications which reflect the three most common things which people need to do with computers on a day-to-day basis -- Microsoft Word, Microsoft Outlook and Microsoft Internet Explorer.

Best of all, whichever supported application you're working in, interactive help is never more than a simple voice command away.

But that's not all! With J-Say Pro, you can:

  • Dictate text in a natural way and have it instantly echoed back to you.
  • Rapidly move through list items, words, lines, sentences and paragraphs and have the selected unit spoken back.
  • Use natural language commands to gain access to the many features of JAWS for Windows. For example, say the words "Be Quiet" to instantly silence the speech synthesiser, or "talk faster" and "talk slower" to change the rate of the speech.
  • Create J-Say Shortcuts which can reproduce lengthy text passages (such as twenty paragraphs) with a single voice command.
  • Take control of your Braille display with J-Say Professional. If you use a Braille display, it is no longer necessary to remember the key combinations to control the Braille output. These commands will also prove to be a tremendous advantage to people who can read Braille, but who do not have the dexterity necessary to press buttons or keys on the unit.
  • Scan and read your documents with easy-to-remember voice commands. J-Say Professional utilises the power and flexibility of the Open Book or Kurzweil 1000 scanning packages to allow a person who is unable to use the keyboard or mouse to take advantage of this fantastic product.
  • Execute many commonly used procedures within the WINDOWS operating system with voice commands. Good examples would be to move directly to the WINDOWS Desktop or to maximise the application and document windows, so that the program fills the entire screen.
  • Teach the software how you pronounce words and phrases, such as terminology of a technical nature, with our interface which allows you to easily add words and phrases to the vocabulary. Our special utility can also be used by sighted assistants if necessary. Alternatively, use the superb access to the NaturallySpeaking Professional correction system. J-Say Pro can speak the individual components of the correction dialogue box either in their entirety or individually.
  • The J-Say Pro Configuration Wizard lets you take control of all the product's special functions without the need to remember a number of voice commands.
  • J-Say Pro will not only read the text necessary to train the system to recognise the human voice, but it will also intelligently teach the user to intonate correctly during this process. J-Say Pro will advise you upon request how much of the training text still needs to be read and provides context sensitive help while managing other aspects of voice profile configuration.
  • Move through tables easily either within Internet Explorer or Microsoft Word. Again, the navigation language is simple to learn with no complications.
  • Use our slick Back-Up and restore utilities to make a permanent copy of your speech files and restore them at a later date if necessary.
  • Use a voice command to check whether all your applications have been exited, prior to closing the computer down. If they have not, J-Say Pro will place focus upon the application which is active, advise you what it is, and invite you to close it.

Item Special Note

J-Say must be used with JAWS for Windows 10.0 or higher (JFW software is not included in this package).  You must provide your JAWS for Windows serial number in order to activate the product.
