Overview of the Advanced Keyboarding Unit

This section on keyboarding provides the students with information and instruction on a different method of entering information into a personal computer using speech recognition software available with Microsoft Office XP or Microsoft Office 2003.

Speech recognition—one of the revolutionary new features in Microsoft Office XP—makes it possible for users to enter text, control menus, and execute commands simply by speaking into a microphone. A great supplement to traditional mouse and keyboard input, speech recognition will boost productivity and provide a new option for people who have difficulty using a keyboard.
