ENSO – Anyone Ever Hear of This?

This post is not related to civil 3D except that this application called ENSO can be used with most windows apps. This is such a cool application, I had to share it. Check out this demo: http://www.humanized.com/enso_demo.php

Please comment and let me know what you think. Enjoy!

    well,
    i suppose it is ok, but why do they keep using the calc command as the example? I never go all the way into accessories to get to the calculator. just hit the Windows key + R and then type calc.

    Pretty neat. All of the effort that Microsoft has undertaken to make Windows easy to learn has made it cumbersome to use. This brings back the power of a command based OS and integrates it with the Windows GUI. Sort of like the command line in AutoCAD. It seems like a natural application for voice recognition. Let me hold down caps lock and tell the computer what to do. I don’t see it becoming popular with non power users, though.

    non-power users don’t know what they are missing John! Having to remember to hold down one more key is *much* harder than mousing to Start|Programs|Accessories|Calc and mousing in all the numbers…. 😐

    Just buy a keyboard that has a built in calculator button. I just reach up….. push the button.. and WALA! Instant Calculator!
