Dragon Naturally Speaking

I just received Dragon NaturallySpeaking 11, and am posting this while simply talking in my microphone at a normal rate that I normally speak.

It only took 5 min. to train my voice to the program by reading the inauguration address of John F. Kennedy.

It works with Skype, obviously message boards, Microsoft Word in any other program you can think of.

It's pretty darn slick. I don't think out type again.

That last sentence was supposed to type I don't think I'll type again. It's the only thing that did not come out exactly the way I spoke.

it's getting good reviews in the tech sector. There is a high profile tech type who is using it exclusively and raves about it.

It's come a long way

what the fark is all but assured about. Sheila Dicks yet.

Clearly, it does not want to type out expletives. Apparently, it throws a wrench in the operation.

Now back to work...

Dear diary...

chicken heads should not be a problem.

What's interesting is that you can virtually scat and say anything that you want and it pretty much types exactly what you're saying. There's few things that are a little glitchy about it but for the most part after training it for a mere 5 min. it's very impressive

still riled up

I get even

If you haven't tried this world it's tough to say if you'd like it. I tried it years ago and didn't care for it. It's come a long way and now it's like a knife through soft butter.
