Hi All I have just found an interesting tool - emacsspeak(a speech interface) in the following links. I am eager to gain some first hand experience for whether I should try this. Just wondering can emacsspeak recieve voice orders? For example, when I say "org-mode", it run M-x org-mode, etc. http://www.emacswiki.org/emacs/EmacSpeak EmacSpeak http://emacspeak.sourceforge.net/ Emacspeak http://emacspeak.blogspot.com/2010/05/emacspeak-320-luckydog-unleashed.html Emacspeak 32.0 (LuckyDog) Unleashed http://sachachua.com/wp/2006/10/emacs-and-a-british-voice/ Emacs and a British voice http://counterpunch.org/~blinux/emacspeak_voices.html Voices about Emacspeak http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Emacspeak Emacspeak http://code.google.com/p/emacspeak/ emacspeak -- Thanks & Regards Denny Zhang
