Most all of us can speak faster than we can type, save those guys who blurt out all the regulations before the car commercials come on on the radio.
<DIV id=grInt>Speech recognition has been looked to for a while to replace our keyboards as our primary input device. The question is whether or not Dragon Naturally Speaking 9 Professional makes it possible for the masses to leave the keyboard and embrace voice recognition.</DIV> <DIV id=frSec1> <H3><B>Features of Dragon Naturally Speaking 9 Professional</B></H3> <P><B>Auto Transcribe</B> <P>This is one of the cooler features of Dragon Naturally Speaking 9 Professional. If you own a digital voice recorded that can output to a PC you can simply speak into your recorded, from anywhere, and save it to the transcription folder inside Dragon. Then Dragon Naturally Speaking 9 Professional can automatically transcribe the spoken recording into a written document for you. <P><B>Accuracy</B> <P>I have used speech recognition before with other applications, such as <A href="/od/gamingperipherals/fr/voicebuddy.htm">Voice Buddy</A> for gaming. Typically the process of using voice recognition requires training. Lots and lots of training. However, Nuance was able to build Dragon Naturally Speaking 9 Professional so that it requires absolutely no training. You don't have to read any scripts. Sure you can read a very short script to Dragon for improved accuracy, but it is not required. <P><B>Application Support</B> <P>Dragon Naturally Speaking 9 Professional supports basically any application or web page with a text input field. You can use the pro version in the entire Office suite as well as IE, Mozilla and Thunderbird. You can voice control virtually any application on your computer.</P></DIV> |
