Voice Finger is a software tool that enables you to control your mouse and keyboard just using your voice, in the fastest possible way. Voice Finger has essential improvements over the Windows default speech recognition tools, and runs with the Windows Speech Recognizer in any language.

Improving the mouse

Instead of using the Windows default speech recognition way of clicking at a point on the screen, which requires a lot of successive commands, Voice Finger uses an expandable 44 x 44 grid to click anywhere on the screen, most of the time with just one command. With Voice Finger, you do not need to use successive voice commands to click at the right spot, you can click any spot on the screen often with a single command.

Windows default mouse grid needs several successive commands for each click:
First Command:	Second Command:
Third Command:	Fourth Command:
And so on, until you reach the right spot...

Improving the keyboard

In the Keyboard Mode, you use short commands to type and navigate the cursor. Just to take a couple of examples, instead of the Windows default voice command "Press A", in Voice Finger you just say "A", and instead of saying "Press down thirty times", in Voice Finger commands are like "Down thirty". With short and direct commands anywhere, the user does more work and avoid tiredness.

Healing and Avoiding Repetitive Strain Injury

At first, Voice Finger was developed by me for personal use, and just afterwards I decided to make it publicly available for download. I acquired Repetitive Strain Injury in 2009, and early on I heard that Windows Vista and Windows 7 was coming with speech recognition built-in. I started to use Windows 7, and found it pretty useful. However, with all its features, there was some times that I had to click at one specific spot on the screen. For clicking at this spot, I would have to resort to the Windows 7 "mouse grid". This was a pain, almost as my RSI. I tried to live with this Windows "mouse grid", since I could avoid it most of the times. However, when I started to work with 3D software, nothing, nothing worked with it. Not even "Show numbers". The only resource was to use "mouse grid". Can you imagine working with 3D software using the Windows "mouse grid" for every command? Long story made short, I developed my own add-on, that most of the time click wherever I want with one command. And, aside from the mouse grid, I also put on it everything that I missed in Windows speech recognition, including 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, and Voice Finger can 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
