Voice Finger is a speech recognition tool that enables you to control your mouse and keyboard just using your voice, in the fastest possible way.

Voice Finger enables zero computer contact, so you can confidently just use your voice and rest your hands. Other speech recognition software assumes you can type and click for some tasks, in contrast Voice Finger does not leave gaps that you'll need type or click, it was made to do everything by voice.

Voice Finger is a definitive solution for people with disabilities and/or computer injuries, but it is also useful for gamers, since it can hit keys and buttons while the gamer moves and shoots.

Mouse Mode

To improve speediness, instead of using the Windows Vista and Windows 7 default speech recognition way of clicking at a point on the screen, which requires a lot of successive commands, Voice Finger uses an expandable 36 x 36 grid to click anywhere on the screen, most of the time with just one command, and you can also expand or hide it.

Windows Vista and Windows 7 default mouse grid needs several successive commands for each click:
First Command:	Second Command:
Third Command:	Fourth Command:

Keyboard Mode

In the Keyboard Mode, you hide the mouse grid and use short commands to navigate the cursor, type, hold and hit keys and buttons. Windows Vista and Windows 7 has a lot of lengthy commands like "Press 1", "Press A" and "Press down 30 times". Voice Finger cuts down all commands to a minimum length, like "1", "A" and "Down 30", and you are still able to use the mouse buttons with commands like "click left", "click right" and others. With short and direct commands anywhere, the user does more work and avoid tiredness.

Zero computer contact

You will find advanced features like pressing several keys simultaneously, clicking with any of the three mouse buttons, dragging with different mouse buttons, automatically repeating keys, clicking several times at once, double-clicking and holding, and virtually anything you can imagine of doing with your keyboard and mouse, so there is no need to touch the computer.

Healing and handling Repetitive Strain Injury, Tendonitis, Carpal Tunnel Syndrome, Quadriplegia and other disabilities

At first, Voice Finger was developed by me for personal use, and just afterwards I decided to make it as an application available for download. I acquired Repetitive Strain Injury in 2009, and early on I started to use WSR (Windows Speech Recognition), which is the default speech recognition that comes in Windows 7 and Vista, to avoid to use the keyboard and mouse.

However, even doing simple things could turn almost impossible with WSR commands, or really could not be made at all by voice. There was some times that I wished to press one key at a time, typing exactly what I wanted, and for doing that I would have to resort to long commands like "Press A, press b",etc. (Imagine saying that for a whole word), other times I wished to navigate the cursor, and would have say long commands like "Move down 30 times", and other times, the worse of all, I wished to click at one specific spot on the screen and would have to resort to the very long process of the Windows "mouse grid", which required several commands for each click. These commands made themselves almost impossible to use them continuously. And there was other things that simply could not be made at all, like just click without using a mouse grid, click or drag with all three mouse buttons, or press several keys simultaneously, like Control, Shift and Alt combinations.

The reason for all these things is that WSR commands were made for dictation and other common tasks, but lacks in directly controlling the keyboard and mouse. To enable zero computer contact, this direct control should be available.

Long story made short, I developed my own add-on for WSR that most of the time click wherever I want with just one voice command and controls the mouse and keyboard with short commands, which makes possible to use it for long periods of time without tiredness. Aside from the new mouse grid, I also put on it everything that I missed in WSR, including even unusual mouse and keyboard commands. My main thought was "If I miss it, someone else may also have been missing it". Everything to not touch the computer. Now I am very comfortable with it, since I use it almost non-stop.

Voice Finger can also be useful for all speech users, since it gives a fast and direct way of typing, moving and clicking anything.

Required Operating Systems: Windows Vista, Windows 7 or later.
