Voice Recognition Software
 

Can anyone recommend a good voice recognition program for "everyday" type words? I see from a search that Dragon's Naturally Speaking software was liked but am hoping to get some up to date advice. I presume the recognition software ports the text into a program such as Word.

Thanks,

Fuji :ok:

The latest version of the Dragon program was demo'd on one of the tele auction sites and supposedly could take 160 wpm with very little training.
Would take that with a large pinch of salt but I've just obtained N S v5 and hope to give it a whirl soon.
The main problem with previous attempts (IBM's ??? Gold??) was that the mic needed an in-line amplifier which was not included and appears to be unavailable:(

Fujiflyer,

Dragon is still the leader. Their professional packages for Doctors, Lawyers, etc. are excellent.

Here is a list from a search on voice recognition. You might find something in there you could use in place of Dragon. ;)

Take Care,

Cornish Jack and Richard - many thanks for your advice, I'll have a close look at the Dragon software,

Fujiflyer,

Let us know what you end up with.

Take Care,

I know someone who uses Dragon for 99% of their PC use and gets excellent results. I use L&H VoiceXpress for document compilation and it works well.

What you get out equates to what you put in though, You need to feed them with "stories" for correct set-up, called "training". You also need to learn the way it takes commands, for example, in OE a click on Send/Recv equates to, Tools, Send and Receive, Send and Receive All.
