Dragon Voice Recognition Software

Dragon Voice Recognition Software is a godsend. This voice-recognition software has made such a difference in how fast I can write articles and blog.

First, let me say that my initial reason to purchase Dragon NaturallySpeaking was because I was starting to get bad wrist pain that was developing into Carpal Tunnel. Since I am sitting at my desk and typing for hours, I was putting my physical health at a risk for injury. I began to wear a wrist guard that helped support my wrist but the pain started to get bad where I had to rely on the wrist guard even when I was away from my desk. I would go to bed with the pain and I would wake up a few times within my sleep because of the pain.

I came across a forum thread that is geared for people with a small business, many people were boasting about how wonderful the Dragon voice recognition software was. I started to feel envious how they said they were able to crank out 3-4 articles in an hour with this voice recognition software.

After reading the countless reviews of praise I purchased my Dragon Naturally Speaking software with the Bluetooth headset. The software is available with a pair of standard headsets that plug right into your PC but I read more about how great the Bluetooth USB headset was that I wanted that as well.

When my software arrived, I began to train it immediately. I started off training it with about 2 hours of reading the first 2 days. That seemed enough to get it to the point that it could recognize about 65% of my words. I started using it to write my articles and blog posts. I found that the more I used my dragon naturallyspeaking, the more accurate it was getting. I’ve now had my voice recognition software for over a month and I can honestly say that it has about 90% accuracy. There are a few words that it occasionally mishears me say. Sometimes if I say “purse” it will type “hearst”. I’ve learned that you have to be more precise when you speak. No sloppy slurring! It’s not so bad; it really keeps you on your toes with pronunciation which is a good thing. You will make your college professors proud!

The best thing about this software is that it can type much faster than I ever could and it saves me from having to sit with pain at my desk. I can actually roam around the room with my headset on while it types my spoken words with ease.

My mother informed me that many doctors use Dragon Voice Recognition Software in her hospital because it is so easy for them to use and with all the medical terms it keeps spelling mistakes down to a minimum.

You can purchase older versions of Dragon Naturally Speaking for ½ the price as the latest version but I always like to go with the latest version of my software so that I am up to date on everything.
