Working at music, of course. Computers may help handling composition, mixing, detail analysis, fine adjustment to interpretation, or anything related.
My sister has a really bad tremor in her hands (a genetic defect which I share, plus some physical damage which I am very happy to have missed) and the use of the keyboard or mouse is problematic for her at times. Speech recognition (uses microphone port and signal-processing capabilities of sound card) makes it possible for her to use the computer when she needs to, not just when her body is behaving. Her son is legally blind, so having the computer speak to him (there's that sound card again!) is really helpful. -- To unsubscribe send e-mail to suse-linux-e-unsubscribe@suse.com For additional commands send e-mail to suse-linux-e-help@suse.com Also check the FAQ at http://www.suse.com/Support/Doku/FAQ/
