Hello

Hello all,
I am excited, I just received the best gift in the mail today. I've been a long-time user of voice recognition software and have had a dinosaur of a version up until today. The college I attend is up to par with the continuous advancements of adaptive technology. So, I've used the newest version Dragon NaturallySpeaking 9 for sometime now at school. I am in office administrative student, and one of the requirements in order to graduate is to be able to obtain 55 words a minute without looking at your hands when you type. If you however, are registered with disability services (as I am) it is written into the college policy that I can use Dragon to attain that required speed. I must report, I've gone from manually typing 15-25 words a minute, to now with the use of Dragon and my voice typing 80 words a minute after errors. Studies have shown that Dragon NaturallySpeaking, 3 times faster than a manual typist. I think I am proof of that! I started this journal entry about three minutes ago. And I could babble on and on forever, Dragon NaturallySpeaking often times makes me forget that people have to actually read what I say! :-) Or at least that is my intent when I type these journal entries. Being able to talk, instead of type makes me way more long-winded than usual so, you have my permission to tell me to shut up!!!

Write back all!

Hmm...

If this plays such a role in your life... why didn't you upgrade sooner?!

Upgrade

I didn't upgrade sooner, because my old version was working. So why, replace something that doesn't need replacing? I am so much happier with this version though. And I am happy to report that your website is fully dragon friendly :-) I don't have to use the dictation box to insert text into this form field. As a writer, you should invest in this product you are at least three times faster than a manual typist studies have shown using this software.
