www.redstartsystems.com Utter Command is a speech command system that allows you to control your computer using commands that are easy to remember, use and combine. Utter Command works with Nuance Corp.'s Dragon NaturallySpeaking Professional speech engine versions 5 through 10 on Windows 2000, XP and Vista (32). UC commands are consistent across programs, giving you comfortable, efficient speech control of everything you can do with the keyboard and mouse. They provide one-step file, folder and Web site access, and advanced email, Web search, and window-handling abilities that outpace the keyboard and mouse. You can use a single speech command to Step comparison: Utter Command vs. keyboard/mouse Utter Command steps keyboard/mouse steps 180 160 140 Number 120 of steps 100 80 60 40 20 31 33 29 25 21 keyboard/mouse steps U tter C ommand steps 27 Task Tour number 23 17 19 13 15 9 11 5 7 1 0 3 • open a program and go directly to any file or folder • open and address an email message to as many as three recipients • go directly to any Web site • move and click the mouse arrow (dual monitor) • select and copy to any program • select and delete, cut, copy or format words, lines or paragraphs in any program • find any keyword or phrase in any program • click a menu item buried three levels deep • change media player tracks while working in another program • move and/or size a window or dialog box • set a reminder to “call John” in 45 minutes Step comparison of 36 tasks: 845 UC steps vs.1,905 key/mouse steps = 1 to 2.3 ratio (tasks include making PowerPoint presentation, Excel chart, preparing email) Utter Command was shaped by real-world user experience and cutting-edge research in cognition, linguistics, networking and human behavior. Redstart Systems founder Kimberly Patch began using speech recognition software in 1994 after developing Repetitive Stress Injuries in her hands. Utter Command grew out of Kim’s frustration with commercial speech interfaces and her experience in improving the human-computer speech interface. Commands are easy to remember and use because they follow an underlying pattern that takes into account the way the brain works. Utter Command’s structured grammar approach offers two key advantages: 1. Commands are easy to learn and remember. This shifts commands to habit relatively quickly, freeing up mental power for the task at hand rather than computer communication. 2. Commands are easy to combine, which speeds computer use, often dramatically. Utter Command consists of • a system of intuitive commands for controlling your computer • UC List - access any file, folder, Web site, one-step multiple recipient email, one-step find, reminders, forms, commandline, name one or two mouse clicks in a row • UC Rulers - one-step mousing by speech • UC Clipboard - advanced cut-and-paste • On-screen Guides - command lists that open in a window along the side of your screen, including custom lists • print and PDF manual - includes self-guided tours, step-by-step lessons, full reference with brief explanations of each command, visual aids, cheat sheets, index of commands; this comprehensive user manual is cross-referenced, and you can get to any section using a single speech command There's more information on the Redstart Systems Web site, including videos of UC in action: www.redstartsystems.com Contact Info: [email protected], (617) 325-3966, Twitter: twitter.com/RedstartSystems
