Naturally Speaking by Dragon


No one wants to work hard - least of all, well, anyone. We store phone numbers in our phones and we hope that others remember our numbers so that we don't have to give them out - and heck, even remember them. So, it's really no surprise that someone came up with the brilliant idea to create software that TYPES for you. Imagine a day without having to bend over your keyboard to actually type a word. No more QWERTY for you - just babbling into a microphone and seeing your brilliance come to life, well, just to the document file.


Why NaturallySpeaking Dragon Software Helps Everyone


You might not have heard of NaturallySpeaking Dragon Software yet, but it's something you can't ignore anymore. Put down your cell phone and listen up. This software is a Speech Recognition program that translates your spoken words into written text - instantly. As you talk, the words will be typed out and you will be able to look over your words later on, or you can simply leave them as they are.


The NaturallySpeaking Dragon Software can even translates those regional accents, y'all.


What you need is a computer microphone to plug in, one that will pick up your voice as you speak - preferably a good one too. If the mike can't pick up your voice, the NaturallySpeaking Dragon Software is going to produce some pretty horrible text. "Dear Mr. Smith, I hbto noairno renioar." Yup, that's certainly going to make the right impression - the impression that you're too cheap to pick up a decent microphone.


This is also a Speech Recognition software program that lets you tell it what to do - nice. There is a set of commands you can give it and you will be taken to various websites as you use your computer. Or you might just feel like seeing how fast the computer can respond to you.


What NaturallySpeaking Dragon Software Doesn't Have


But as with any program, NaturallySpeaking Dragon Software has its limits. First of all, it's not very good at detecting grammar issues. You need to be the editor for your work. All it does is type what it hears you say. So, you do need to speak sort of slowly and clearly at all times. You can't be mumbling from your bed and expect the program to pick up all of your witty remarks.


Mac users are pretty much out of luck if they want to use NaturallySpeaking Dragon Software as it's a PC based program right now. You also can only have one user per license for the software, so it can be a pricey program if you need to install it on multiple computers.


Also, if you get the NaturallySpeaking Dragon Software that includes a headset, just throw that thing away. It's cheap and certainly not useful in terms of dictating your words in any intelligible way.


When you want to free your hands from typing, at least, most of the time, NaturallySpeaking Dragon Software is a good way to help you with your work. But it's not a flawless system. You still need to be checking up to make sure your ideas area coherent.


This dragon can't help you with that. It's called 'Naturally Speaking' for a reason, not intelligent speaking.
