What's Math Talk?
We recently had a reader ask about Math Talk. If you visit http://www.mathtalk.com/ you will see that Metroplex Voice Computing advertises a way to do math without keyboard or mouse through speech recognition mathematics. They have MATHTALK demos via Desktop Streaming; it runs about $300 for the full version. Students can do their own math homework since a user can voice his or her own work and print work, so there is no need for family members or assistants to write math problems out. It offers voice arithmetic/pre-algebra/algebra/trig/calculus/statistics/graphing and includes Scientific Notebook; user can choose to translate math to Braille in Duxbury Braille Translator. Requires Dragon Naturally Speaking --any version. Take a look around the site and play with the demo if you’re interested in this product -- we’ll post more on it later!
