Hi again!
When hand populating a board, I have Altium running and make use of the J-C key sequence (Jump to component) to find component locations. I always re-annotate boards with a logical sequence and that helps but I still end up searching sometimes.
It would be really handy if I could use speech recognition to get Altium to zoom in on the location, when I say something followed by the component designation. Is there a free or cheap speech recognition program for Win7 that would allow me to this without needing to type any keys?
I would not be surprised if someone is already doing this.
Thanks, J
UPDATE
I tried speech recognition in Win 7 and it actually works I say "Press JC Press C5 Press enter" and Altium zooms to C5, "press page down" and it zooms out, easier than I thought.
Hands free component locating. Now if I could just grow a 3rd hand, one for the tweezers, one for the solder and one for the iron, I could really be productive.
