1
00:00:04,100 --> 00:00:09,040
Imagine if you could only communicate with your family by writing.

2
00:00:09,060 --> 00:00:12,480
Sometimes it's just easier to speak.

3
00:00:12,500 --> 00:00:16,360
One of the advances of technology is voice recognition.

4
00:00:16,380 --> 00:00:18,000
Whether it's searching the Web:

5
00:00:18,020 --> 00:00:20,000
"Nineteenth Century Architecture."

6
00:00:20,020 --> 00:00:21,200
Dictating emails:

7
00:00:21,220 --> 00:00:25,180
"Send email to Jack Harding."

8
00:00:25,200 --> 00:00:28,120
Or controlling your navigation app.

9
00:00:28,760 --> 00:00:31,740
Many people with physical disabilities

10
00:00:31,740 --> 00:00:33,940
rely on voice recognition to use the computer.

11
00:00:33,960 --> 00:00:35,380
"Place order."

12
00:00:35,400 --> 00:00:39,120
But for that to happen websites and apps need to be properly coded.

13
00:00:39,140 --> 00:00:42,160
"Go? Cancel?"

14
00:00:42,161 --> 00:00:44,920
Voice recognition could help lots of other people

15
00:00:44,921 --> 00:00:47,740
with temporary limitations too, like an injured arm.

16
00:00:47,760 --> 00:00:48,740
"Place order."

17
00:00:48,760 --> 00:00:51,240
It can also prevent injuries becoming worse,

18
00:00:51,240 --> 00:00:54,400
like RSI: Repetitive Stress Injury.

19
00:00:54,420 --> 00:00:57,020
Or for people simply preferring voice.

20
00:00:57,040 --> 00:00:59,020
Web accessibility:

21
00:00:59,040 --> 00:01:00,160
"Place Order."

22
00:01:00,180 --> 00:01:03,120
Essential for some, useful for all.
