Natural Word lets users command Microsoft Word with their own words. There is no need to memorise cryptic menus, toolbars, or command syntax! Rather than figuring out where options and commands are buried, type in ‘blue’, or ‘create table’, or ‘make text bigger’.
Natural Word is a simple interface into Microsoft Word to type what they want in their own words! It understands most of what ordinary users would want. For instance, to underline text, you can type 'underline', 'make the text underlined', 'draw a line underneath the text', and many, many other common ways.
This is a Beta release and a work-in-progress. Natural Word seamlessly integrates with Microsoft Word. Run Word and press the “`/~ button” to bring up the command entry prompt. Then type what you want.
