We are anxious to let you know that Google now provides people having word
recall problems with a great tool for practicing picture naming. To make use of this
tool, you must use the free Google Chrome browser and have a unidirentional
microphone hooked up to your computer. To find a copy of this browser, search
for 'google chrome free download' and then download and install the browser. An
inexpensive microphone can be purchased from any store that sells computers.

Google Chrome is waiting for you to say the name of the picture. After you say
the picture name, it will be automatically typed in the white input box similar

Finally click the large button at the bottom of the screen to record your
answer. If your answer is incorrect, the program will provide a cue. Click the
microphone icon again to say the name of the picture and continue until you get
it right. Please remember that the microphone icon will only appear if you are
using Google Chrome. |
