Dockhand 2

Dockhand 2.0 is a utility program that makes it easy to quickly open or switch between applications, documents, folders, web sites, and other similar items, using only the keyboard.

It also has a speech recognition feature that allows these same actions to be performed by simply speaking to your computer.

This application is currently in beta test. We invite you to download and try it, and send back suggestions and bug reports.
