Computer manufacturers try to add value to their systems by offering a variety of pre-installed or free-to-download software to customers who buy their machines. One such program is the Toshiba Speech System, produced by Toshiba for its various computing devices. The Toshiba Speech System serves two main functions. First, it allows you to use voice commands through your microphone to run and navigate various Windows applications, which is helpful for hands-free computing. Second, it also has the ability to recognize text and speak it out loud, which has a variety of uses and can be particularly helpful to the visually-impaired.
