phones through the computer

It seems like I am always looking for a complicated way of doing things. Is there a way for a person to use voice recognition (either through a stand-alone system or a computer) to manage phone calls?
Here are a few that I have come up with: This looks like it will work, but is it going to be Windows 7 compatible? http://www.saje-tech.com/telephone.html Does anyone know what IR speakerphone is used with this? http://www.breakboundaries.com/ Desktop computer modems used to be able to make phone calls. Do these still exist and could this be coupled with Dragon NaturallySpeaking software? Thanks.

Hi Matt,
The last time I had to work this angle, I was able to find a modem with telephony support, but it's software was still stuck in the Win98 world. Got it working with XP, but seriously doubt it will work with Win7. (As you've probably seen, these days when telephone support is mentioned, they are referring to VoIP calling) The more recent time this came up, the person had a saje-tech phone but had a new job with a digital phone system and older multi-line phone. Decided that it was simpler for him to use a mouthstick for access to that. So yes, the saje-tech device can work well. A simple phone call or email to them will tell you what their plans are for Win7. I'm sure their on top of it. I am not familiar with Breakboundaries but, looking at their site, I am wary of companies that provide so few detail about their products. (I couldn't even find mention of what the telephone interface is) If your looking for full EADL functionality by voice, I'd direct you again to saje-tech who have been doing this for years, stand behind their products, (and are strong supporters of RENSA to boot). I assume that you've considered the VoIP approach such as Skype? I tried this a while back, but my aging brain does not recall whether or not I had a conflict with both Skype and NaturallySpeaking listening to the microphone. Seems that it should work, but then again . . . Others on this list will no doubt speak to that. Not very helpful I suppose, but let us know if you find any other reasonable solutions (OK, unreasonable ones as well).

OK, I just tried Skype with NaturallySpeaking, in WinXP.
It technically works, though some of the interface is not user friendly for non-mouse users. Menu commands work fine. If you start dictating, the results go directly into the box for entering a new number, which is good, unless you want to navigate back up through your contacts list. Seems like you'd need to create some custom macros to make this fully usable by voice. Biggest challenge might also be remembering to put NaturallySpeaking to sleep after you initiate the dialing, then wake it up again in order to hang up the call. Others no doubt have worked with this and other VoIP options more extensively.

Hi Matt,I've had a client successfully use that Saje Tech system on a WinXP computer a couple of years ago - don't know about Win7 compatibility but, as Ray mentioned, the company should be able to tell you. I'm not familiar with the Breakboundaries system. Have you looked into the voice-controlled phone systems by Broadened Horizons (http://www.broadenedhorizons.com/communications.htm)? I'm not familiar with them but am curious if anyone else has any experience with their products. Some of the software listed there is a bit outdated (Dragon 9.0/9.5) but perhaps they've since updated their inventory.Keep us posted,John

What about an electric knife - yes - the ones you use for the

You could probably set this up so fingers/hands are not near the cutting. First, you'd have to see if the turkey knife would cut the tubing.

I talked to a friend about this and his suggestion is below.
That rubber tubing is pretty soft. Maybe a miniature paper cutter (photograph size) would work. You could drill a couple holes in the top to bolt down something to use as a guide for the tubing and keep fingers out. Maybe you could remove the blade and screw a small razor blade to the location needed for less operation force and it keeps fingers safe from that big long blade.
