Windows 95: the review

Article Abstract:

Microsoft Windows 95 is the system of choice for small- to medium-sized law firms as well as remote and home users. The two most significant changes are support for right mouse button clicking, and the use of the file folder analogy. Clicking on the right mouse button when the cursor is resting on a particular item typically reveals information on how to edit or operate the item. A file folder exists for each application and data file. Users must remember that the files do more than merely represent a directory; they are actually connected. Dragging or deleting an icon will perform the same action on the file. The TaskBar sits on the bottom of the display, taking the place of the application icons that used to cluster there. Microsoft Wizards lead users through a variety of tasks. The plug and play support generally works well, although older equipment may need new software drivers.

Dragon vs. Kurzweil: two voice recognition heavyweights battle it out

Article Abstract:

A comparison of Kurzweil Applied Intelligence's Voice for Windows 1.1 and Dragon Systems' Dragon Dictate for Windows voice-recognition software packages gives a slight edge to Kurzweil's $995 product for its accuracy and ease of use. DragonDictate is available in several configurations and prices, from a $395 Starter Edition to the $1,695 Power Edition. The included dictionary also varies from one edition to the next, from a scant 5,000 words to 60,000 at the top end, including many specialized medical and legal terms. These applications require the user to speak slowly, with distinct pauses between words, for good results. Also, robust hardware is required for adequate performances.

How to be a virtual associate

Article Abstract:

Attorneys are increasingly relying on remote access technology to communicate between their notebook PCs and the computers at their firms while they are on the road. ISDN is a promising communications technology for speeding remote access to the home office, but may still be too expensive for small and medium-size firms. Regular analog phone lines are fine for most transmissons, provided the firm has invested in V.32 modems capable of 14.4 19.2-Kbps transmissions and high-speed serial modem cards for the field PC. Traveling Software's LapLink 6.0 for Windows and Symantec's pcAnywhere file transfer packages are options for transmitting data at a reasonable speed.
