You can speak more quickly than I have been doing, and Dragon Naturally Speaking will keep up with you. Those corrections will go into my user profile, and in the future, those particular problems are less likely to occur. There were a couple of mistakes in this text, and I corrected them with a combination of keyboard and voice correction. As I’m getting older, my fingers can certainly feel the difference after a day of typing – at least, they can after a day when I don’t have to do any typing! When I can leave the typing to take care of itself, I can put all my effort into the thinking. While I’m concentration on the actual typing, I’m not concentrating on what I’m thinking. What’s the verdict on Dragon? Well for me, it’s a success. We can also add graphics if we wish – if we had a company logo, for example – and as you can see, with this kind of facility, you can build up complex documents very quickly as long as you’re using standardized phrasing. Close” – and then view and edit the script. In the “Tools” menu, choose the command “Browser,” pick the command that you want to choose – in my case the “Comp. I can format these entries so that the voice macro would, for example, make this bold every time it goes in. Now, in the sidebar, I’m using the “My Commands” tab to remind me of the particular voice macros I’ve already created. I’ve set up some example voice commands, to show you how you can build up your own voice macros. For anyone working with documents that require fairly standard blocks of text, it would be possible to build a library of voice macros that let you create an entire letter in just a few commands. It’s also possible to use Dragon to control some of your applications, surf the Web, and run voice macros – voice macros give you the ability to predefine blocks of text and/or images, such as your home address, or a scanned signature, or your company logo. In other words, the more you use it, the better it gets! The process of correction actually updates your personal profile, so that accuracy is better in the future. If you do make a mistake, it’s possible to correct it by voice, or by keyboard. Using a higher-quality microphone, although at an expense, makes this package work the way you would expect it to.Īs far as accuracy is concerned, it’s correctly recognizing what I am saying. A headset is included in some versions of the package, but you won’t get the best results from it. An old, slower machine is unlikely to be sufficient.

However, I have to say that when I first started using this software, it took a little bit of getting used to. After a while of doing that, it becomes second nature, so it’s not really a problem. I am using Dragon Naturally Speaking to create the text file you see appearing on the screen in front of you. Let me turn the microphone on, and begin. Now, everything you will see appear in the window in DragonPad is done by voice dictation alone there is no typing. I’ve opened the DragonPad document editor from the Tools menu. I launched the application and logged in with my particular profile for the setup I have. This is a review of Dragon Naturally Speaking, version 11.
