Coming up on Main Menu and Main Menu Live for the week of February 28, 2007


Hello Everyone,



Have you ever wanted to push the keyboard away from your desk and simply use your voice to control your computer?  Wouldn't it be nice to be like a
doctor and simply dictate your email messages, letters and other work using your voice?  The possibilities are here.  This week on Main Menu we talk all about the new release of J-Say Professional Version 5.0 from T&T Consultancy.



Brian Hartgen joins us in the first hour and gives us a demonstration of some of the new features of J-Say Professional 5.0. In the second hour of Main Menu Live we bring on Terry Clasper from T&T
Consultancy and Sue Martin from the Veterans Administration.  Terry is one of the developers of J-Say Professional and Sue is a trainer and user of
J-Say Professional.  We will talk to them more about J-Say Professional. One of the things we want to explore is whether or not they will support the
new Vista speech recognition features.  Most importantly though, you will be able to talk to our guests on Main Menu Live.



We will open the phone lines at the top of the hour to allow you to call in and ask any questions you have for our guests.  The number to call into the show is 866-400-5333.  You can also email your questions to mainmenu@acbradio.org.



Would you like to interact with a group of Main Menu listeners about the topics heard on Main Menu and Main Menu Live?  You can do this by joining the Main Menu Friends email list.  The address to subscribe is: main-menu-subscribe@googlegroups.com. Come join an already lively group of users.



Main Menu and Main Menu Live can be heard on Tuesday evening at 8:00 Eastern, 5:00 Pacific, and at 1 universal on Wednesday morning on the ACB
Radio Main Stream channel.  Don't forget that this will be a 2 hour show.
