Opera 8 Beta

Dec 24, 2004 20:26

Today I read a news about Opera 8 on Slashdot. Beta version of Opera 8 is out. This new version comes with a Voice Interface. Although the things that you can do are limited, for example I cannot spell out the site that i want to go to, but it has commands like reload, paste the url and go, and read. Something I wont mind playing with for some time ( Read more... )

Though it is limited, it can be useful for disable people.

That is what i was trying to explain that the features are still not good enough. I mean it is still not working hand free. I still need to see the screen and use the mouse.

Mouse? or keyboard?

i know commenting on this entry is too late but i wanted to add that i tried the opera and there is a version from ibm that you can use to provide multimodal input to browser forms. like i could use a stylus, keyboard or voice to input data to the forms. i tried to build a small application using this feature and was quite happy with the results.
