Can voice command be used on Wiki Tree?

Question

I had someone tell me they have problems typing. I was wondering if voice command programs like Dragon can be used on WikiTree?

Answer 1

I use Dragon on WIkiTree all the time. My hands are deformed from Rheumatoid Arthritis and I can't type very well. I have a problem using it with Window's Edge browser since they did a massive update recently. However, it works quite well with Google Chrome. Haven't tried it with Firefox.

Hi Shirley,

Just an idea maybe we can get this information together on a help index or page so others can benefit from this knowledge who may have some similar situation.

Have a great day.

That's a thought, Steven. I'll check with some people and see if anything can be done.

I know voice-to-text could be really helpful to many people. Dragon can also read aloud what's on the screen which might be useful to others. And Dragon is not the only such software. Windows has a built in software for dictation and reading. I've used it. Works pretty well. Might be others I'm not aware of.

Did a page get created? (Can't find one in Help.)  I am looking at Dragon, due to the arthritis which is creeping into my hands...

I don't think any information has been added to the Help pages on this subject. I'd like to, but have been tied up with other things.

I'm using Dragon right now and it works quite well on WikiTree. Definitely would recommend it to anyone who has arthritis problems which prevents them from typing accurately. Haven't updated my Dragon in a couple of years, probably will need to this year to take advantage of improvements.
