Re: Voice Recognition for real?

["V Ghyoot" vghyoot@xxxxxxxx]

For me, the difference is between active and passive writing. Typing is active, while voice recognition is passive and relaxed. VR is a nice change, when you want a change.

However, a previous contributor was correct in suggesting that VR is no good when the topic is still unfamiliar/exploratory. It works best with material that is well-trodden, such as your pet subject.

is this really working well? I tried three earlier versions of dragon and never got it to be at all useful.




I thought it was. And worth the money. Sounds as if Harry does as well. At the time I just used MSWord, the program's default choice, but others now have it working with XY, which means it should also work with NB. I can't "write" using Dragon, nor would I try. I feel I need to put those nouns, verbs complements and objects on the page with my hands, build the wall by placing the bricks in a neat row, one after the other, scraping and smoothing the mortar before I add another row. But I know several writers with painful RSI who write with Dragon and are grateful to have it.
