TOSHIBA Speech
System
The TOSHIBA Speech System consists of a
voice-composition application (text-to-speech)
that analyzes documents and reads them aloud,
and a speech-recognition application that
recognizes the words you speak into a
microphone. This allows you to control and
operate various Windows programs by voice
command rather than using the keyboard or a
mouse.
To access this utility, click Start All
Programs TOSHIBA Speech System.
For more information, please refer to the
TOSHIBA Speech System Help.
Keep foreign objects out of the Bridge media slot. Never allow metal
objects, such as screws, staples and paper clips, to enter the computer or
Keyboard. Foreign metal objects can create a short circuit, which can
cause computer damage and fire, possibly resulting in serious injury.
