o Introducing Talking Workstations, Part II in presentation series

For some time, people have been doing research and development in
speech recognition.

As the 'locator device' why not voice recognizer?

While I am in my screen editor, I could say 'INSERT' or 'UPSCREEN'
rather than the key strokes.

I could say 'SEARCH' then it would prompt me for a search string.

In addition a key should be provided to toggle this feature on
and off.  Imagine a demonstration saying Search or Reverse Screen
and your presentation is forever doomed.

Comments and ideas are being explored by a research group here
at Penn in this area.  We'd like to know what the Works community
feels.
