Dragon Naturally Speaking


I began using Speech recognition software in 1999, at that time I was only somewhat impressed with its capabilities, each command and word had to be entered and trained. Today Dragon Naturally speeking recognizes thousands of words after a few show training sessions where you read preselected text. Also you can export your user file to a USB dribe or a network drive and use it on any computer that has Dragon Naturally speeking.

I very much enjoy this software, I use it to write papers for school and prepare other personal documents. Now when I create a document the only thing that is only limit is how fast I can think. This has dramatically changed the way I use computers, even if I am not preparing a document I still use DNS to launch programs, click buttons on web pages, and close windows. I am amazed by how far speech recognition software has come and look forward to the future to see what improvements on input methods that will be made.

I'm still waiting for Star-Trekish voice recognition, so I can start my Captains Logs :)
