Speech Recognition Navigation Internet Explorer

Question

Hi there

Could someone please tell me how to say a command such as Open Favourites in my Internet Explorer using the speech recognition program that comes with Windows 7.  Every time I try to say the command it types the command in the text field  on my Google Search page.  I could use mouse grid command but that seems a lot of fussing around. 

Look forward to your answers

Cheers

Tiaka

Answer 1

Hi Tiaka,

Have you tried this approach -

by Voice command -

1. Open Internet Explorer
2. Favorites

    a. This should highlight the favorites item both on the favorites bar and the Favorites menu item as well

3. Say "1 .or. 2" depending on which one you'd like to open (I said "2")
4. Say "OK"

This should open up the favorites center. The items in the favorites center are still navigable through voice - once you have the favorites center open, you could say "Microsoft Websites" -> "Microsoft at Home" and this should navigate to the favorites website.

If you have already have the cursor in the search bar of a webpage, you can follow 1 through 4 above after saying "Switch to Internet Explorer" - this will put the voice focus on the Internet Explorer UI window rather than dictating into the form field.

Thanks,

Vishwac.
