| 316716 | 2005-01-22 06:55:00 | taly, What speech programme are you using? PJ I am using Speech recognition engine 6.1 that comes with Microsoft Word 2003. I get 20 words per minute after all corrections, that is much more then I can do manually. Hope to improve it with upgrade. Someone mentioned professional copy for $1200. Copy of what, DNS? (Dragon?) |

| 316718 | 2005-01-22 11:16:00 | theother. I woild be interested in the name of it Thanks. PJ Dragon. Don't know what version but I know he will be running fairly high spec computers so the earlier comment about speed is possibly accurate. I haven't tried it myself but if I ever feel the need to, that is what I would use. |

| 316719 | 2005-01-22 21:02:00 | Perhaps it is worth it to better 20 words a minute, but even my "hunt and peck" style of typing returns ~ 40 words a minute. SR simply could not compete for me, as correction time was excessive. For long typing tasks I get it done by my "secretary" at about 100 wpm. I have tried Dragon and MS Office versions. The very slow speed is the reason you do not see this technology flourishing. Yet. |

| 316721 | 2005-01-22 21:59:00 | 100 wpm it is awsome! I assume that your pc has those 1GB RAM and Pent4 CPU. My next PC, that I am assembling, will be Athlon 1200 on a motherboard for FSB 276Mhz. It might be an equivalent of Pent 3? I won't go to learn proper hand typing. Too old for that, perhaps. Or had bad memories taking piano lessons with those finger numberings when being a kid. Think it is sort of children abuse. Regards |

| 316722 | 2005-01-22 22:23:00 | The 100 wpm is a professional typist, not SR. Yes my PC is a P4 with 1 GB of RAM. To me, and based on my experience, the extra time that SR takes to train would be better spent on typing training, the outcome would be better. Give the technology a few years and it will get there. One of the major drawbacks is getting high quality audio into the system. Due to the nature of the electronics in a PC, interference levels are very high, and any interference on the microphone will translate to poor SR. |

I remain surprised that WR is not further ahead,as with virtual reality.Some things seem to be in the doldrums. Starship Enterprise seemed much further ahead and that was years ago! |
