Did it! Dictated a Post
So, my Dragon Dictate arrived in three days and I am now learning to use voice recognition. It’s pretty nifty and I think it will be useful for note taking, longer e-mails, and perhaps even Facebook even when I can use my right hand again (not anytime soon, fear). So I will be back to blogging from time to time.
Unfortunately I don’t think voice recognition will be so useful for my more academic writing.
I use it too. I don’t have any disabilities, but I can dictate far more quickly than I can type. I like it when I’m translating–i dictate the english, while holding the text containing the other language in my hands–but it’s not good for essays that require a lot of editing (such as academic writing). I find it much easier to edit with the keyboard in those cases.
Thanks. Any thoughtsand hints wecome.
I’m using a similar program for writing the first draft of video scripts. Since I’m not a clear talker, I have to do a lot of keyboard editing while I’m dictating, and then the further drafts are all done on the keyboard.
Welcome back! to the world of the internet. Hope that you get the Dragon tames and domesticated quickly.
It is great to see you posting. So glad you are able to use Dragon Dictate.
so glad to hear that there are solutions to such problems – they all catch up with us in some way from time to time
