Fun stuff

I've just been experimenting with the Windows speech recognition in Windows 7.  I'm able to dictate information into posts here without too much trouble.

It's pretty slick to be able to sit back and just talk to the computer and have it show up as text in the editor here.

It's a bit different to have to think before one talks instead of just typing and go back and correcting text later.

This works surprisingly well, better than I expected.

    I'm also able to activate the various forum controls without too much trouble.  There are a few however that are a bit sticky.

    The speech recognition seems to integrate with Internet explorer pretty well…  Most controls can be activated just by saying that name on the button or the link.

    I seem to have figured out most of how to use Internet Explorer via voice command, but there's just one thing I can't figure out how to get it to do on the Adobe pages:

    From any forum, if one clicks the Adobe Forums link (the one at the left end of Adobe Forums > Adobe Photoshop > Photoshop Windows, for example), one is taken to the Adobe Community Forums landing page.  If one scrolls down, one sees a series of gray boxes, one of which says GENERAL FORUMS.  I simply cannot figure out how to get the speech directed application operation feature to click on that.
