Does anyone use Dragon ( http://www.nuance.com/naturallyspeaking/ ) for voice recognition software? How’s it work? Is it decent? How about the read aloud function? |

I would also prefer this software for voice recognition. My only dilemma with talking to type is that I can type just as fast as I can talk, and my roommate doesn't have to hear me saying "Hey, sexy. Sup? Nothing much. Sorry about the crabs,. The guy at Red Lobster said they were fresh. Well, I'm going to go back to watching Skinemax latenight. Bye, Joe." (typical conversation between me and my awesome co-worker online). |
lol. Yeah, I think I might tape some egg cartons on the walls of my room if I switch over to voice recognition. I've just seen three of my co-workers succumb to RSI and I am thinking preventively. And I want my computer to read to me. The new version (9.0) of Dragon claims to work directly out of the box, no training necessary. So I guess I don't need to invest any time to figure out if it works for me. |
