Voice Recognition Software: A Brief Case Study, Kirstin Duffin Oct 2008

Voice Recognition Software: A Brief Case Study, Kirstin Duffin

Faculty Research & Creative Activity

Dragon NaturallySpeaking is voice-activated software that allows users to communicate with a computer by means of their voice rather than their keyboard. The software’s aim will make anyone who failed Keyboarding 101 giddy with delight. Forgo typing, be it for a document, an e-mail or instant messaging. Dragon listens to your voice and records your composition faster than you can type. After a brief, 15-minute training and tutorial session, during which Dragon listens to the user and he or she learns commands to navigate within Dragon, you are ready to start using the program.

Analysis Of Citations In Undergraduate Papers, Stacey Knight-Davis, Jan S. Sung

Faculty Research & Creative Activity

This paper presents the findings of a citation analysis of papers written by undergraduate students.

There was also a positive correlation between the number of citations in the paper and the word count of the paper.
