[blindlaw] Dragon Naturally Speaking: Thoughts? Impressions?

[Tim Elder]

Dragon works well so long as your computer can handle it.  You should also
consider the J Tools scripts to compliment Dragon's functionality with JAWS.

Tim

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
