rb-17 That means that when a programmer wants to write speech recognition software,
rb-18 it is necessary to keep in mind on which hardware the software will run.
rb-19 A full-blown computer offers a programmer the freedom to develop software
rb-20 that allows the end user to issue a wider array of commands.
rb-21 In practice this will allow end users to issue commands
rb-22 such as "go to previous paragraph", "go up one paragraph", or even "I want to edit the previous paragraph".
rb-23 Where all these commands might lead to the same result on that powerful PC,
rb-24 the software on a hand-held device might only respond to one specific command.
rb-25 The same would be the case for other tasks such as browsing the Web,
rb-26 searching for documents in the file browser, and starting or closing programs.
