Voice Recognition and Adaptive Technology
for Repetitive Strain Injury
Voice recognition software and adaptive input devices (ergonomic keyboards, vertical mice, eye-tracking) reduce upper limb loading for keyboard-intensive RSI, particularly carpal tunnel and forearm RSI.
How it works
Replaces repetitive keyboard and mouse use with voice or alternative input, directly removing the repetitive strain driver. Reduces cumulative daily tendon loading to below the irritation threshold.
What to watch for
Voice recognition has an initial learning curve but modern software (Dragon NaturallySpeaking) achieves high accuracy. Most effective for highly keyboard-dependent workers who cannot reduce their work volume.
