| 316705 | 2005-01-21 17:02:00 | Hi there! Is anyone in this fraternity or known to you using Speech recognition? I mean in everyday way. |

| 316706 | 2005-01-21 20:53:00 | I've got speech recognition installed (as part of office xp, and opera), but havent got a mic. So, cant use it till I get a mic. | Speedy Gonzales (78) | ||
| 316707 | 2005-01-21 21:08:00 | Tried it, gave up on it. Error correction time exceeded even my humble typing speed. It's still a "work in progress" technology really. That's why good typists are still in demand. |

| 316709 | 2005-01-21 23:00:00 | I have a lawyer friend who uses it for typing letters with a correct spelling rate of between 96-98%. He swears by it and can dictate letters at normal talking speed or faster. It took him a day to get the thing running to a level where he could use it for work and there is an ongoing teaching period as the software recognises new words, (kaiapoi, kaikoura etc) English words, of course, are the ones which give most problems. But the same applies in this forum. I will find out the name of it and post back if you are interested. | theother1 (3573) | ||
| 316710 | 2005-01-21 23:39:00 | I've just tried the latest Dragon prog after trying it a few years ago... no better now than it was before for me. Lots of niggling things about it, set-up errors, tool bar takes over the desktop etc, steep learning curve for the recognition part etc. You also need plenty of ram, a good soundcard, good mic and a 'fast' comp or it grinds to a halt. However one of our staff managed to get it going and after 2 months using it pretty non-stop has got it tamed... you just need plenty of perserverance I think. |

| 316711 | 2005-01-22 03:18:00 | Hi there! I am trying it only for a month and already prefer it to typing. So I am optimistic. Don't mind fiddling. I was happy to learn that there are others. Would like to know what software and hardware they using. Mine is museum, but going to upgrade. I have PC Pent2, 450MHz, RAM 192MB, XPhome and Word 2003. Mice Cosonic headphone CD-760M, Sound card Creative Sound Blaster 16. Chiers. |
