About Fluent
Fluent is a voice-first control layer for Windows 10 and 11. You speak or type a sentence describing the outcome you want; Fluent reads the window through the same accessibility tree that screen readers use, works out the steps, and invokes the real controls. No screenshots, no guessing at pixel coordinates, and no per-application plugin, so it drives software it has never seen before.
Speech recognition runs on the device. Destructive steps stop and ask before they run. Every action is written to an append-only, hash-chained audit log, so an administrator can reconstruct exactly what happened.
Built for people who cannot comfortably use a mouse or keyboard - strain injury, tremor, low vision, limited hand mobility - and for regulated desktops where screen content must not leave the machine unchecked.
Speech, dictation, text-to-speech, hotkeys and accessibility navigation keep working whatever the licence state. 30-day trial.

Speech Recognition Cloud
Speech Recognition Cloud is a cloud-based speech recognition and dictation application for Windows. It converts speech to text in real time and types directly at the cursor in most applications (Word, Outlook, browsers and web forms). It supports automatic punctuation, spoken formatting commands (new lines, paragraphs, bullet and numbered lists), configurable hotkeys/hold-to-talk, and custom vocabulary and text expansion. Processing occurs in the cloud, so users can dictate on standard PCs without high-end hardware. An optional Medical edition supports clinical terminology for healthcare documentation. An internet connection is required.

Vocola 3
Dictation with Windows Speech Recognition (WSR) works well for "WSR-friendly" applications like MS Word, Outlook, and PowerPoint. Dictated text is inserted directly into document text, and commands like "Delete hedgehog" can refer to specific document text. But WSR dictation works less well for "WSR-unfriendly" applications like MS Excel, Gmail, and most programming environments. Dictation is not inserted directly into document text, and commands cannot refer to document text. Vocola improves this situation by supporting direct dictation for WSR-unfriendly applications, and by allowing correction and modification of the just-dictated phrase. Vocola and WSR use the same underlying speech profile, so any improvements you make via training, correction, or the speech dictionary benefit WSR dictation and Vocola dictation equally. Dictation to WSR-unfriendly applications is essentially unusable in Vista, as every utterance raises the correction panel.
