As a follow up to our post on getting speech recognition for Windows XP (and 98, 2000), we’ve decided to write a series of tutorials on controlling your applications with it (The speech recognition is not as full featured as in Vista and therefore can’t handle much more than basic commands).
This collection of tips will focus on controlling iTunes (playback). We’ll be focusing on switching songs, and general play/pause and next track (we’re still working on getting previous to work).
Please note that I have Shuffle on for all of these tips. Also note that iTunes must be the active window for any of these to work.
(Advanced → Switch to Mini Player OR Ctrl + M)
Hope these tips come in handy. Why iTunes? Windows Media Player doesn’t appear to have any way to interact via voice. And don’t kill me for my lack of music (taste).
