There have been some unfortunate developments in the last year. Currently, the Math Voice Recognition system I use requires 3 pieces of software (on Windows): Dragon Professional Individual, Scientific Notebook, and MathTalk. Unfortunately, the companies which make Scientific Notebook and MathTalk recently went out of business. So the software can no longer be purchased. Long-term (over the next 5 years or so), I (and others) will have to switch to some other system. <\/p>\n\n\n\n

Given my reliance on such a system, I have already been researching a replacement. To be clear, no replacement technically exists. However, I looked into WYSIWYG math script program to replace Scientific Notebook (think Microsoft Word, but for math) and decided to transition over to Lyx (which is free). Lyx has the advantage that it is open source, and therefore will not go out of business in the future. But Lyx has no inherent voice recognition capacity. I have been in contact with the Lyx developer community, and have recently developed some scripting which will allow me to speak commands, which Dragon will then translate into LaTeX and insert that code into Lyx. I have generated scripts providing for the creation of most basic math functions, but it is early days, and I will most likely add much more going forward. <\/p>\n\n\n\n

My plan is to get the functionality to a stable place, and then provide these scripts to the disability community. The scripts need to be imported into Dragon. Beyond that, there will be a learning curve. I plan to create a “dictionary” so that the user knows what commands can be spoken, and what the result will be. Currently, I just look at the list of scripts to remind myself. <\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
