Windows 7 for You: Makes New Things Possible

New Ways to Engage

Accessibility

Windows 7 enhances the accessibility options that are so important to people with special needs. From more personalized speech recognition to a new on-screen layout, Windows 7 is more accessible to everyone.

Speech

In Windows 7, we’ve improved the accuracy of Windows Speech Recognition so that you can dictate to your PC in many common programs and tell it what to do. For instance, you can easily dictate an e-mail by speaking the recipient’s name and the content of the message.

Magnifier

Use Magnifier whenever you need to magnify the entire screen or parts of it. It’s particularly helpful for people who are visually impaired or have difficulty seeing the screen, but it can be used anytime you want to see an object better—even when using a small notebook PC. You can use full-screen mode to magnify the entire desktop or lens-mode to magnify only a portion of the screen. In Windows 7, Magnifier works with DirectX content and supports the use of a pen, touch, and keyboard shortcuts in full-screen magnification.

On-Screen Keyboard

The on-screen keyboard in Windows 7 has a new look, and now includes personalized word and next- word prediction based on the same technology used for the Tablet PC. If you’re unable to use a standard keyboard, this feature can dramatically improve how fast you enter words.
