Accessibility
Windows 7 enhances the accessibility options that are so important to people with special needs.
From more personalized speech recognition to a new on-screen layout, Windows 7 is more accessible
to everyone.
Speech
In Windows 7, we’ve improved the accuracy of Windows Speech Recognition so that you can dictate to
your PC in many common programs and tell it what to do. For instance, you can easily dictate an e-mail
by speaking the recipient’s name and the content of the message.
Magni er
Use Magni er whenever you need to magnify the entire screen or parts of it. It’s particularly helpful for
people who are visually impaired or have dif culty seeing the screen, but it can be used anytime you
want to see an object better—even when using a small notebook PC. You can use full-screen mode
to magnify the entire desktop or lens-mode to magnify only a portion of the screen. In Windows 7,
Magni er works with DirectX content and supports the use of a pen, touch, and keyboard shortcuts in
full-screen magni cation.
On-Screen Keyboard
The on-screen keyboard in Windows 7 has a new look, and now includes personalized word and next-
word prediction based on the same technology used for the Tablet PC. If you’re unable to use a standard
keyboard, this feature can dramatically improve how fast you enter words.
