Does Anyone Actually Use the Language Bar?

by Jason Bean on December 13th, 2007

I’m at a meeting a few days ago and someone hands me their computer to use their Internet. I notice that the Language bar toolbar is displayed. I think to myself and wonder if anyone actually uses this.

Normally when I see it on someone’s computer I turn it off and hide it to give them more screen real-estate on their task bar. I’ve yet to meet or talk to someone that actually uses it. Why is this set as default being on?

Do you?

I just bought a nice, new headset to use with Skype, maybe I’ll play around with the available language options within Windows. Maybe I could start dictating my blog posts to Windows and stop typing them.
