NATURALLY SPEAKING


The above is a video about an incredible product. Please watch the video and think about the possibilities. You can also see the NY Times Review of Dragon NaturallySpeaking by clicking this link. The reviewer actually has his hands tied behind his back as he test-drives the product. Dragon Naturally Speaking is voice recognition software that types what you say. It recognizes not only your voice, but adapts to your accent as well. Just think about how fast you can complete a blog entry with this software. Think about how quickly you can generate content on screen versus how quickly you can type. Sometimes my brain goes faster than my fingers and this software is a perfect solution.

Dragon Naturally Speaking is used at my husband's place of employment. They use it for medical dictation and integrate it with their practice management software. This allows for quicker dictation enabling the doctors to see more patients. I can see the advantages of this software as well if you are a budding author and want to write a chapter or two in your book - simply dictate what you want to write and it is typed out for you. Quicker results than typing and even more accurate. Also, bloggers would benefit greatly from this. Just think how many posts you can create in a fast, more efficient manner. By 'more efficient' I mean no more misspelled words! It does that for you!

The current version Dragon Naturally Speaking 10 Preferred (targeted towards businesses and advanced PC users) and Dragon NaturallySpeaking 10 Standard (targeted towards PC using consumers like you and me!) promise up to 99% accuracy. This software is worth checking into - at the very least, check out the above video and click on the above links to learn more. You are sure to be impressed!!
