This post is meant to accomplish 2 things:

1. Tell you about tazti (”tasty”) speech recognition software and how to get it and use it.
2. Show you how video can communicate better than the written word. So, if you’re in a hurry, skip these words and jump to the video….you will be AMAZED.

I posted about Tazti (pronounced “tasty”) back in January.

The original beta version features have been improved. You may remember the original features, which were pretty cool: Talk to your PC to:

A. Create your own speech commands and associate a webpage, application or file to the new speech command. Say the the speech command and tazti opens the associated webpage, etc.

B. Search Google, Yahoo, Ask, MSN, eBay, Amazon, Youtube, Flickr, Wikipedia, Digg, Technorati, Facebook, Myspace and other sites.

C. Perform “Business Searches” of Google and Yahoo. Great for finding a Starbucks in a particular zip code! That oughta impress a client after a long day searching for homes.

H. Spell out your searches for foreign words and words with silent or unusual mispronunciations. Use it to search for Bret Favre, or most hockey players.

I. Give over 35 speech commands to your computer.

Since you use your own voice to set up and activate the commands, it won’t be like talking to the cable company computer— so less curse words will be spoken. Besides, anything that makes for less keystrokes and helps bumbling typists, like myself, (and those who have trouble spelling), is, as Martha likes to say, a “good thing.” Besides, speech searching is faster than typing.

Stuart Goller, co-Founder of Tazti, contacted me to tell me about these latest improvements, including some Social Networking features:

Now, you can talk to your PC and:

1. Log in to and navigate FaceBook and MySpace.

2. Turn on and operate the iTunes music player.

3. Search your bookmarks in all the browsers on your PC.

4. Import your bookmarks from your browsers and also from your delicious.com account and create speech commands for them.

So there you have it folks.

Download Tazti here. It’s FREE!
Tazti works with Windows XP & Vista, as well as mobile internet devices. (it also runs on Intel core 2 duo based Macs by using Parallels)

Now for the power of video:
