[blindlaw] Dragon Naturally Speaking: Thoughts? Impressions?

[John Sheehan]

I am using the premium edition, but I do not use it with Jaws, so I cannot speak to interface. It reads text well, and I am surprised at how good it is in determining speech. I had thought that the program would take longer to "learn" my voice and my usage, and it was really relatively painless. Of course, three weeks after I bought my edition, they came out with a new version (12) but I think I will struggle along with the one I have. Most of the mistakes in the early days were mine, because I had not read enough of the instructions.

I am a great fan, and for my own use, I recommend it.

Hello all,

I was made aware that this week a couple web sites are offering
excellent rebates on Dragon Naturally Speaking, both home and premium
editions.  I've never used the program, so I was hoping anyone who has
might chime in and let me know if it's something I should consider
using.  I'm wondering if folks utilize it in their everyday practice
of law, and how well, if at all, it will coexist with jaws.

Any opinions and thoughts are greatly appreciated.

All the best,
Paul Sullivan
