This is a quick review of Dragon dictation. It will also be the only review I will post that I haven’t written. I am currently recording this on Dragon dictation and I have no intention at all of tidying up the spelling and punctuation I was delighted to follow.
I am speaking at quite a slow pace, but also very naturally and this is in my view the ideal conditions are tracking temptation to succeed. I have to say that I am impressed with the technology and have written a couple of articles using the software so far. Sometimes needed after I have finished recording my voice to tidy up the spelling etc, but on the whole thing really is able to speed up the work I need to.
As you can see some of the spelling and work hours are actually quite amusing and I believe that this is becoming a bit of a party game all ready for some. Despite the issues with regard to not getting to 100% accuracy it’s well worth the download and one that you should try to see if you can get used to. It’s strange feeling when you first start talking to your phone because the words don’t quite come out the same way as they do from a keyboard, but once this becomes habit from me I suspect that I may not be typing half as much in the future.
Some will see it as a gimmick and I can understand that, but on a serious note it really does work 95% of the time and from many people that’s the kind of technology that can really change their lives.
Available for the iPhone and iPad and other products available for BlackBerry etc.
