			<content:encoded><![CDATA[<p>I don&#8217;t know why my Computer Mouse has started behaving in a weird way. It has partially stopped working! Even though the Right Click and the Middle Click functionalities are working pretty well, the Default Click which is the Left Click has stopped working! I <a title="Clean a Mouse" href="http://www.techfreakstuff.com/2008/08/how-maintain-clean-computer-mouse.html">cleaned it and checked this Mouse</a> at my Friend&#8217;s place also, the problem is confirmed to be with the mouse and not my PC. I was planning to buy a new mouse but my Dad gave me cool idea.</p>
<p><img src="http://cdn.techfreakstuff.com/wp-content/uploads/2010/07/mouse.jpg" alt="" title="mouse" width="146" height="149" class="alignleft size-full wp-image-1221" />Even though I knew that it was possible to exchange the Default Clicking buttons of the Mouse, it had not come to my mind unless reminded by my dad. Let me tell you, I am still using that partially working mouse and not yet purchased a new mouse.</p>
<p>The Method to make the <strong>Mouse Right Click as the Default Click</strong> in place of Left click is not as difficult as it might seem. You just need to do the following:<br />
<strong>Step 1:</strong> Write &#8220;Mouse&#8221; in the Search bar of Windows Vista or Windows 7 Start menu. Select the Mouse option. For any other Windows, you can go to Mouse Properties.<br />
<strong><br />
Step 2:</strong> Check the Checkbox in Mouse Options to interchange the Clicking Buttons on your Mouse. This will change the Mouse Right Click to your Left Click. Look at the screenshot below:<br />
<img src="http://cdn.techfreakstuff.com/wp-content/uploads/2010/07/mouse-settings-600x447.jpg" alt="" title="mouse-settings" width="600" height="447" class="alignleft size-large wp-image-1222" /><br />
You are done. You can have fun exchanging your <a title="Move Mouse Cursor with keyboard" href="http://www.techfreakstuff.com/2009/07/move-cursor-without-using-mouse.html">Mouse Button Functionalities</a>!</p>

			<content:encoded><![CDATA[<p><img class="alignleft size-full wp-image-1210" title="notepad" src="http://cdn.techfreakstuff.com/wp-content/uploads/2010/07/notepad.png" alt="Notepad" width="150" height="150" />Windows PCs have a text editor named Notepad. Everyone knows about it and I am not going to say anything new. The new things which I am going to say is about playing and have fun with Notepad applications. Notepad can be used as a fun Application too and it shows some weird behaviors too.. So I have brought in front of you some <strong>Notepad tricks</strong> which give weird results when executed.</p>
<h2>Notepad tricks</h2>
<p><strong><em>Notepad Trick 1</em></strong> : <strong>Use Notepad as a Log Book</strong><br />
Open notepad &gt;&gt; Write <span style="color: green;"><code>.LOG</code></span> in the first line &gt;&gt; Save the File and close it.<br />
When you open this file again, you will see the current date and time and you can enter your activities there to keep a Log of what you have done at what time. You can save this file as a Diary! You can press F5 to refresh and get the current time.</p>
<p><strong><em>Notepad Trick 2</em></strong> : <strong>World Trade Center Attack</strong><br />
Open notepad &gt;&gt; Write <span style="color: green;"><code>Q33N</code></span> &gt;&gt; Increase Font size to 72 &gt;&gt; Change Font to <em>Wingdings</em><br />
This will show you how the World Trade Center episode happened. First the Plane hit two towers and then caused lots of damage.</p>
<p><strong><em>Notepad Trick 3</em></strong> : <strong>4335 Trick</strong><br />
Open notepad &gt;&gt; Write <span style="color: green;"><code>this app can break</code></span> in the first line &gt;&gt; Save the File and close it.<br />
After opening the file again, you will see that it contains all encoded characters. It happens if we enter four words separated by spaces, wherein the first word has 4 letters, the next two have three letters each, and the last word has five letters. Then Notepad Automatically hides the text into unknown code.<br />
It also works if you type <em>AAAA BBB CCC DDDDD</em> or any other 4-3-3-5 letter combination.</p>
<p><strong><em>Notepad Trick 4</em></strong> : <strong>Shut Down the Computer</strong><br />
Open notepad &gt;&gt; Write<br />
<span style="color: green;"><code>@echo off<br />
msg * I am tired.<br />
shutdown -c “So, Bye Bye” -s</code></span><br />
&gt;&gt; Save the File as AnyName.bat<br />
When you will open this file, your Computer will Shut down on its own after showing the message in it.</p>
<p><strong><em>Notepad Trick 5</em></strong> : <strong>Open Notepad Continuously</strong><br />
Open notepad &gt;&gt; Write<br />
<span style="color: green;"><code>@ECHO off<br />
:top<br />
START %SystemRoot%\system32\notepad.exe<br />
GOTO top</code></span><br />
&gt;&gt; Save the File as AnyName.bat<br />
When you try to open this file, Multiple Notepad Windows will keep opening up.</p>
<p>Do let me know if you had fun with these tricks! I had written some more tricks some time back, you can check then out too..<br />

			<content:encoded><![CDATA[<p>Are you bored of those static images on your Desktop Background? Do you feel the need to use a Video in its Place? Ok then, I will tell you how you can do it! Just do as I say and you will have a <a href="http://techfreakstuff.com/2009/06/watch-multiple-youtube-videos-window.html">cool video playing</a> as your Desktop wallpaper.</p>
<p>Let me tell you(most of you will already know) that Windows Vista Ultimate has a feature known as DreamScene which allows you to set a Video as a BackGround. But this feature is not present in any other versions of Windows Vista. As most of the people have already shifted to Vista from their old OS, I will give a detailed tutorial on how you can get started with DreamScene.</p>
<p><a href="http://cdn.techfreakstuff.com/wp-content/uploads/2009/10/DreamScene_EN.rar">Download the DreamScene pack for Vista</a>. It is a RAR file. Extract the RAR file in any folder and then follow the steps:</p>
<ol>
<li> Run &#8220;Install.bat&#8221; file with Administrator rights (i.e. Right Click on it and Click on: Run as administrator)</li>
<li> Follow the steps in the command prompt</li>
<li> Reboot, or Run &#8220;Reload.bat&#8221; file with normal (non-Admin) rights (i.e. just Double Click on it)</li>
</ol>
<p>After you follow these steps Right Click on your Desktop. When the list opens up, you will find an option called &#8220;Play DreamScene&#8221;. This shows that you have installed this Vista Add-On properly.</p>
<p>Just remember that you can only play .WMV or .MPG files as your video Backgrounds. Now Right Click on the Video file you want to play as your Background. Select &#8220;Set as Desktop Background&#8221;. Once you do it, you cam see the same Video playing in your Desktop as the Wallpaper.</p>
<p>If you want to Pause this video in the Background, just Right click on the <a href="http://techfreakstuff.com/2008/04/cpu-integrated-in-monitor-desktop-from.html">Desktop</a> and select &#8220;Pause DreamScene&#8221;. You are done now!</p>
<p>Many people who still use XP miss this feature! You can use the <a href="http://www.dreamscene.org/download.php">XPScene software for Windows XP</a> to use this <a href="http://techfreakstuff.com/2008/10/opera-96-review-features-and-updates.html">feature</a>.</p>

			<content:encoded><![CDATA[<p>It happens a lot of times that your Mouse Freezes (i.e. it gets stuck and the cursor does not move) or does not respond properly. In this case we don&#8217;t have any other option than to wait till the mouse starts responding or hit the Control-Alt-Delete combination. You can also check out our <a href="http://www.techfreakstuff.com/2008/08/how-maintain-clean-computer-mouse.html">Guide to Clean a Computer Mouse.</a><br /><a onblur="try {parent.deselectBloggerImageGracefully();} catch(e) {}" href="http://4.bp.blogspot.com/_cMyofPhE-cQ/SlhyyiaPPEI/AAAAAAAAAfU/GnmwLhUKMA8/s1600-h/NO_Mouse.png"><img style="display:block; margin:0px auto 10px; text-align:center;cursor:pointer; cursor:hand;width: 320px; height: 320px;" src="http://4.bp.blogspot.com/_cMyofPhE-cQ/SlhyyiaPPEI/AAAAAAAAAfU/GnmwLhUKMA8/s320/NO_Mouse.png" border="0" alt=""id="BLOGGER_PHOTO_ID_5357157969313086530" /></a><br />I have come across many individuals who don&#8217;t actually use mouse and work totally with the keyboard. But it wont be easy for a Beginner or a Non-Geek to do so. But can you imagine how interesting it will be to control the mouse Cursor/Pointer without actually using the mouse? Lets learn how!<span class="fullpost"></p>
<p>All you have to do is to Activate a small feature and you can do all you important work even when your mouse stops responding. Follow the steps:</p>
<p><span style="font-weight:bold;">1.</span> Log-In to your <a href="http://www.techfreakstuff.com/2007/11/secret-administrator-in-windows-vista.html">Windows Account with Administrative rights</a>.</p>
<p><span style="font-weight:bold;">2.</span> Press <span style="font-weight:bold;">Alt+Shift+NumLock</span> keys all together [remember that it works only with the left-Shift key]. Now a Mouse Keys message box will be opened. Just select Yes and get started or you may change the settings of this feature as per your convenience.</p>
<p><span style="font-weight:bold;">3.</span> Click on Settings button or a link saying &#8220;Go to the Ease of Access Center&#8221;, if you want to adjust the Mouse cursor settings in detail.</p>
<p><span style="font-weight:bold;">4.</span> Now a new Settings window is opened where you can Manage and Edit all mouse settings like &#8220;Mouse Cursor Speed&#8221;, &#8220;Acceleration&#8221; and other features.<br />Now save the settings and you are done!</p>
<p>Now what are the Controls for your <span style="font-weight:bold;">Keyboard-turned-Mouse</span>?<br />You have to use the Number-Pad for all the mouse movements and functions.
<ul>
<li>1,2,3,4,6,7,8 and 9 keys are used for moving the mouse cursor into different directions.</li>
<p>
<li>Key 5 is used for a Mouse Single-Click.</li>
<p>
<li> + Key used to double click.</li>
<p>
<li> Insert (Ins) key used to Keep holding the Mouse button for the Drag function.</li>
<p>
<li>Delete button used to release the Mouse button.</li>
<p></ul>
<p><a onblur="try {parent.deselectBloggerImageGracefully();} catch(e) {}" href="http://1.bp.blogspot.com/_cMyofPhE-cQ/Slh0WN16FUI/AAAAAAAAAfc/xya0A6BRqTg/s1600-h/keyboard+mouse.PNG"><img style="float:right; margin:0 0 10px 10px;cursor:pointer; cursor:hand;width: 154px; height: 29px;" src="http://1.bp.blogspot.com/_cMyofPhE-cQ/Slh0WN16FUI/AAAAAAAAAfc/xya0A6BRqTg/s200/keyboard+mouse.PNG" border="0" alt=""id="BLOGGER_PHOTO_ID_5357159681778914626" /></a>Click the <span style="font-weight:bold;">NumLock</span> key to turn off this feature. While the feature is ON, you can see an Icon as shown in the alongside image in your TaskBar.</p>
<p>Note: <span style="font-style:italic;">This Function works in all versions of Windows. It might not work in some Laptops because all laptops do not have the Right-Side Number-Pad on their default keyboard.</span><br /></span></p>

			<content:encoded><![CDATA[<p>There are many Windows Tricks around and you may see people using such tips to play pranks on others! Its a lot of Fun to see someone totally confused about a Computer problem and then we can tell them that we just played a Crazy prank on them! The Prankster and the Pranked both laughing together after having Fun is not a rare sight. I told you some tricks like <a href="http://www.techfreakstuff.com/2008/07/create-undeletable-invisible-folder-no.html">Creating an Undeletable Invisible Folder with NO-Name</a> and <a href="http://www.techfreakstuff.com/2008/09/create-password-protected-folder-lock.html">Creating a Password Protected Folder (Folder-Lock) in Windows</a> some-time-back.</p>
<p>But today, I will tell you a small trick to convert any Folder into a <span style="font-style:italic;"><span style="font-weight:bold;">Recycle Bin</span></span> or <span style="font-style:italic;"><span style="font-weight:bold;">My Computer</span></span>  </p>
<p>Just Imagine if your Friend/Parent/Sibling clicks on any Folder and without any error the My Computer window opens. The first thing that will come to his/her mind is V!RUS. <span class="fullpost"></p>
<p>That will be so much fun! You can just tell them that he/she has done something wrong and now let you deal with it. You can also blame them for their Dumbness or Negligence or whatever you want.</p>
<p>Enough of future-planning, Now let us learn the trick!</p>
<p><span style="font-weight:bold;">Step 1:</span> Select the Folder you want to convert and decide what you want to convert it into.</p>
<p><span style="font-weight:bold;">Step 2:</span> You just need to Right-Click on that folder and use the Rename option(without opening the folder).[i.e - You are renaming the Folder which you want to Convert]</p>
<p><span style="font-weight:bold;">Step 3:</span> Now while renaming, just suffix[add at the end] the following codes to the name of the folder depending on your preferred result location:</p>
<p>My Computer: <span style="font-weight:bold;">.{20D04FE0-3AEA-1069-A2D8-08002B30309D}</span><br />Recycle Bin: <span style="font-weight:bold;">.{645FF040-5081-101B-9F08-00AA002F954E}</span></p>
<p><span style="font-weight:bold;">Step 4:</span> Now after renaming, Refresh the page. You can see that the Icon of the Folder has Changes to Recycle Bin or My Computer[sometimes it doesn't change]. When you click on it, you will directly go to Recycle Bin or My Computer rather than entering inside the Folder.</p>
<p><a onblur="try {parent.deselectBloggerImageGracefully();} catch(e) {}" href="http://1.bp.blogspot.com/_cMyofPhE-cQ/Sj9ZRKFr4XI/AAAAAAAAAec/RuVd8DjG9XI/s1600-h/rename+windows+folder.PNG"><img style="float:left; margin:0 10px 10px 0;cursor:pointer; cursor:hand;width: 124px; height: 169px;" src="http://1.bp.blogspot.com/_cMyofPhE-cQ/Sj9ZRKFr4XI/AAAAAAAAAec/RuVd8DjG9XI/s200/rename+windows+folder.PNG" border="0" alt=""id="BLOGGER_PHOTO_ID_5350093033640288626" /></a><span style="font-weight:bold;">Example:</span> I am converting a Folder named &#8220;Old Songs&#8221; into Recycle Bin. So I will first Rename it using the code given above. [Don't forget the <span style="font-weight:bold;">Stop mark</span> before the code]</p>
<p>Now my Old Songs Folder shows Recycle Bin! You can carry out all the Features of Recycle Bin/My Computer using this Folder.<br /><a onblur="try {parent.deselectBloggerImageGracefully();} catch(e) {}" href="http://2.bp.blogspot.com/_cMyofPhE-cQ/Sj9Zn9OJ50I/AAAAAAAAAek/I2cUreliDco/s1600-h/recycle+bin+conversion.PNG"><img style="display:block; margin:0px auto 10px; text-align:center;cursor:pointer; cursor:hand;width: 349px; height: 163px;" src="http://2.bp.blogspot.com/_cMyofPhE-cQ/Sj9Zn9OJ50I/AAAAAAAAAek/I2cUreliDco/s400/recycle+bin+conversion.PNG" border="0" alt=""id="BLOGGER_PHOTO_ID_5350093425323140930" /></a><br />OK! Now we have converted the Folder into that of our choice. But, How do we get our original contents back? Its very easy: Just rename it back and remove the Code along with the Stop Mark. Now Refresh and You are Back to normal!</p>
<p><span style="font-weight:bold;"><span style="font-style:italic;">Some more tips</span>:</span> You can also convert your Folder into some more Windows tools with the following codes[I have NOT checked these codes and these might not work]:</p>
<p>Control Panel: <span style="font-weight:bold;">.{21EC2020-3AEA-1069-A2DD-08002B30309D}</span><br />Internet Explorer: <span style="font-weight:bold;">.{871C5380-42A0-1069-A2EA-08002B30309D}</span></p>
<p>Sometimes while getting your Normal contents back you might not be able to rename the Folder Directly. You might have to use Command Prompt to rename it. Go to Command Prompt and browse to your Folder. Now type there: <br/> <span style="font-weight:bold;">ren Your_Folder_Name.{645FF040-5081-101B-9F08-00AA002F954E} Your_Folder_Name</span><br />I am not responsible for any loss of Data because of this trick [99.99% nothing will happen but I can't give complete guarantee]. Use this trick at your own Risk!<br /></span></p>

			<content:encoded><![CDATA[<p>How about Giving your Windows XP, the Windows Vista look? NO NO, I am not talking about the Windows Vista transformation pack or the Windows Vista theme for Windows Xp. I am talking about adding the Aero effect(or Interface) to windows in Xp. Remember the transparency effect in Windows Vista?(see the picture) Yes! Just like that.<br /><a onblur="try {parent.deselectBloggerImageGracefully();} catch(e) {}" href="http://4.bp.blogspot.com/_cMyofPhE-cQ/SVTJ3T4UvDI/AAAAAAAAAYY/LcPkIiBlm7E/s1600-h/aero_windows_vista_xp.jpg"><img style="display:block; margin:0px auto 10px; text-align:center;cursor:pointer; cursor:hand;width: 312px; height: 208px;" src="http://4.bp.blogspot.com/_cMyofPhE-cQ/SVTJ3T4UvDI/AAAAAAAAAYY/LcPkIiBlm7E/s320/aero_windows_vista_xp.jpg" border="0" alt=""id="BLOGGER_PHOTO_ID_5284070214878936114" /></a><br />Windows Aero is one of the most talked design changes (call it additions) in Windows Vista. Microsoft calls it a more dynamic user-interface system compared to the basic interface system known from Windows XP. Windows Aero actually enhances the look of the working interface in Windows Vista. One of these looks(enhancement) is called Windows Aero Glass. Glass adds translucency to all windows of the operating system. And the Good News is that this Windows Aero Glass feature is now available in Windows XP.<span class="fullpost"></p>
<p>Aero Glass feature for all Windows XP users is made available by the software <a href="http://fastaero.pl/forum/viewtopic.php?f=6&#038;t=17">FastAero</a>. The current version of Fast Aero provides the Glass effect on Windows that are open in Windows XP. Keep in mind that only new windows will display the Windows Aero Glass effect  Or just minimize and maximize again while some windows  need to be closed and reopened.</p>
<p>The default language of this software is Polish but it can easily be changed in the <span style="font-weight:bold;">config.ini</span> to English so that the language line looks like this: <span style="font-weight:bold;"><span style="font-style:italic;">language=english</span></span>.</p>
<p><a href="http://fastaero.pl/forum/viewtopic.php?f=6&#038;t=17">FastAero</a> gives a better look to Windows in XP but can quite heavy for your PC resources. The other drawback is that it only allows you to Enable or Disable the blur effect.<br />If you like the look, <a href="http://fastaero.pl/forum/viewtopic.php?f=6&#038;t=17">try it out!</a> Thanks <a href="http://www.ghacks.net">GHacks</a>.</span></p>

			<content:encoded><![CDATA[<p>There are always some things which we don&#8217;t want others to see in our Computer, Example: private photos, porn films, secret documents etc. So we need to hide them. Just attributing the Folder which includes these Files as HIDDEN does not serve this purpose because these days every person knows to view Hidden files. So why not <strong>Password protect</strong> this Folder? We do get <strong>Folder Lock softwares</strong> for Download on Internet but they offer only trial versions for free. So, Today I will give a tutorial on <strong>Creating a Password Protected folder</strong> in Windows.</p>
<p>Just open Notepad and copy the following code given in Green colour in it.<br />
<span style="color: #077a39;"><br />
cls<br />
@ECHO OFF<br />
title Folder Locker<br />
if EXIST &#8220;Control Panel.{21EC2020- 3AEA-1069- A2DD-08002B30309 D}&#8221; goto UNLOCK<br />
if NOT EXIST Locker goto MDLOCKER<br />
:CONFIRM<br />
echo Are you sure u want to Lock the folder(Y/N)<br />
set/p &#8220;cho=&gt;&#8221;<br />
if %cho%==Y goto LOCK<br />
if %cho%==y goto LOCK<br />
if %cho%==n goto END<br />
if %cho%==N goto END<br />
echo Invalid choice.<br />
goto CONFIRM<br />
:LOCK<br />
ren Locker &#8220;Control Panel.{21EC2020- 3AEA-1069- A2DD-08002B30309 D}&#8221;<br />
attrib +h +s &#8220;Control Panel.{21EC2020- 3AEA-1069- A2DD-08002B30309 D}&#8221;<br />
echo Folder locked<br />
goto End<br />
:UNLOCK<br />
echo Enter password to Unlock folder<br />
set/p &#8220;pass=&gt;&#8221;<br />
if NOT %pass%==<span style="font-weight: bold;"><span style="font-style: italic;">YOUR PASSWORD HERE</span></span> goto FAIL<br />
attrib -h -s &#8220;Control Panel.{21EC2020- 3AEA-1069- A2DD-08002B30309 D}&#8221;<br />
ren &#8220;Control Panel.{21EC2020- 3AEA-1069- A2DD-08002B30309 D}&#8221; Locker<br />
echo Folder Unlocked successfully<br />
goto End<br />
:FAIL<br />
echo Invalid password<br />
goto end<br />
:MDLOCKER<br />
md Locker<br />
echo Locker created successfully<br />
goto End<br />
:End</span></p>
<p>Do not forget to change the &#8220;YOUR PASSWORD HERE&#8221; text by a <a href="http://www.techfreakstuff.com/2008/09/create-password-protected-folder-lock.html">strong and secure password</a> which you want to set for your Locker.<br />
Now save this file WHERE YOU WANT THE PASSWORD PROTECTED FOLDER as &#8220;locker.bat&#8221;. A folder named <strong>Locker</strong> will appear in the same directory. (Refresh if it does not appear)</p>
<p>Click on the locker.bat file and it will ask you for the password for your Locker <em>(Not for the first time, Second time onwards)</em> You need to give the same password which you gave while writing the BAT file in Notepad (Remember password is case sensitive) Now you can save any data in this Locker folder. After saving the data again click on the locker.bat file. It will ask you weather you want to lock this folder. Type <strong>y</strong> if you want to lock it or <strong>n</strong> if you don&#8217;t want to lock it.</p>
<p>You can use the locker.bat file to unlock this folder as explained above. Have fun <strong>locking your documents</strong> in your <strong>password protected folder</strong>. Ask your <a href="http://www.techfreakstuff.com/2009/08/useful-tips-writing-good-blog-comments.html">queries in Comments</a> and Don&#8217;t forget to tell weather you liked this trick or no.</p>
<p>(Note: BAT files can be edited in Notepad (Different <a href="http://www.techfreakstuff.com/2010/07/cool-notepad-tricks-windows.html">Notepad tricks</a>) so any Computer savvy person might get to know your password through the locker.bat file. So it is advised that you HIDE the locker.bat file. You don&#8217;t need to hide the <strong>Locker folder</strong> because it is Hidden by Default)</p>

			<content:encoded><![CDATA[<p>Is your Computer full of Viruses or Spyware? Do you need to get back to work urgently without much trouble? You have no other option than formatting you PC and Reactivating the Operating System(Windows) again. But You can surely save your Reactivation time for Windows if you are using Windows Xp.<span class="fullpost"></p>
<p>It is possible to Reactivate Windows Xp by just tweaking a single file from the <span style="font-weight:bold;">System32</span> windows folder. When you install Windows on your computer for the First time, XP creates a file called “WPA.DBL” and saves it in the <span style="font-style:italic;">C:\WINDOWS\SYSTEM32</span> directory.</p>
<p>Now before Formatting your Computer just copy this file in any external storage device like a USB Flash Drive or an External hard drive. Then Format the Computer and reinstall Windows. While reinstalling Windows, you’ll reach the point where you have to activate. Decline the activation and complete the installation.</p>
<p>Now Restart your computer in <span style="font-weight:bold;">Safe Mode</span> by pressing <span style="font-weight:bold;">F8</span> on Startup to get into the <span style="font-weight:bold;">Advanced Boot Options</span> menu.</p>
<p>Go to <span style="font-style:italic;">C:\Windows\System32</span> and you should see a file called <span style="font-weight:bold;">WPA.DB</span>L already there. Simply rename it to something else like WPA.BACKUP(or anything else) and then copy your backup version of WPA.DBL to the current location.</p>
<p>Now restart your Computer and your Windows will appear working fine. You have successfully activated your Windows Xp without much trouble. Remember that this will only work if you use the WPA.DBL file on the same computer that it was originally activated on. If you install XP on a different machine and try to copy the WPA.DBL file there, it won’t activate. Basically, XP looks at the hardware of the computer to create a unique profile for just that one computer.</p>

			<content:encoded><![CDATA[<p>We always knew that Google will take thing to new heights. And with the launch of speech recognition capability in some YouTube videos that enables you to search for text spoken in these videos, we cant help thinking of microphones replacing keyboards and mouse in near future. <span class="fullpost"></p>
<p>To try speech recognition in YouTube yourself, add this <a href="http://www.google.com/ig/directory?root=/ig&#038;dpos=top&#038;url=www.google.com/ig/modules/elections_video_search.xml">Video-Search gadget</a> to your Google homepage. The search is currently limited to some political videos only, but it is a good hint of what is yet to come in Google search.<br /><a onblur="try {parent.deselectBloggerImageGracefully();} catch(e) {}" href="http://bp0.blogger.com/_cMyofPhE-cQ/SH6ubAqYcZI/AAAAAAAAAI8/9sLsWulCJ2A/s1600-h/youtube+sound+recognition.JPG"><img style="display:block; margin:0px auto 10px; text-align:center;cursor:pointer; cursor:hand;" src="http://bp0.blogger.com/_cMyofPhE-cQ/SH6ubAqYcZI/AAAAAAAAAI8/9sLsWulCJ2A/s400/youtube+sound+recognition.JPG" border="0" alt=""id="BLOGGER_PHOTO_ID_5223804396853817746" /></a><br />If your search query matches with some YouTube video, the positions where those words are uttered are indicated by yellow markers. We can read the transcribed text by hovering the mouse cursor over those yellow markers.</p>
<p>Google uses their own speech recognition technologies to listen to the audio portion of the video and then transcribe speech into text. Google can search and transcribe text from new videos with hours after they get uploaded on YouTube. This is real fast. What if this feature is expanded to video content like TV clips, news videos, video podcasts, etc? That will be so much fun..Thanks <a href="http://www.labnol.org">Amit</a></span></p>
