Hi All,

I have very bad arthritis in my hands and shoulders and have decided its time to start using DragonNaturally Speaking for email ect.   I am wondering if any one uses it, or is it even possible to use it  to comment in the galleries?  Thanks for any feed back!

Susan

Hi Susan,

I've had Dragon NaturallySpeaking for about two weeks now and I think it works great.  Just for your info, I used Dragon to type this out.  Well, there was no typing involved just speaking into a microphone.  It will take a couple of days to get used to it, you have to train it to your voice and you can teach it new words.  You do not have to speak like a robot for it to understand you, which is a bonus.

Enjoy.

Nick

Nick, thanks so much for your reply!!:) That gives me great hope!  
Well, my copy arrived yesterday ( and, no I am typing this, not speaking:):)) but will spend today training it! so hopefully I will be in full swing again soon!

cheers, Susan

Well, I have been training my dragon all day and I am typing this by speaking and have used it to comment in the galleries!  It's a fantastic program.  Not only does it type what you speak but the first time in my life it looks like I can spell!

 

Cheers, Susan
