Hi, I received the same. I think it was the original messages I sent yesterday that were delayed. As they didn't show up on the list, I re-sent them to be sure. _______________________________________ Have a pleasant day, Kind Regards and Best Wishes, Hussein.

From: access-uk@xxxxxxxxxxxxx [mailto:access-uk@xxxxxxxxxxxxx] On Behalf Of Eleanor Burke Sent: Friday, December 18, 2009 10:14 AM To: access-uk@xxxxxxxxxxxxx Subject: [access-uk] Re: speach to text software: Two of your e-mails that were received last night are now received again Hussein. I asm not sure if you are sending again or if there is a problem with the free lists or indeed if it is a problem with my own computer. Maybe others will comment also. Eleanor ----- Original Message ----- From: Hussein Patwa To: access-uk@xxxxxxxxxxxxx Sent: Thursday, December 17, 2009 3:33 PM Subject: [access-uk] Re: speach to text software: Hi, No, you don't need anything special to use the software. Just a microphone. I use my Logitech webcam which also has noise cancelling and this works great. But you could even use the computer's built in microphone, for example those on a laptop. Another option is to use a headset, but I've found unless this is a wireless one you'll be tied to the computer. With the webcam I mentioned above, the quality is such that I can continue dictating even when moving around my room so I don't have to be directly in front of the computer. It's a godsend when working on my novels, when I don't want to feel as if I'm working sitting in the same place all the time. HTH. _______________________________________ Have a pleasant day, Kind Regards and Best Wishes, Hussein. I am participating in the 2009 National Novel Writing Month Challenge.

From: access-uk@xxxxxxxxxxxxx [mailto:access-uk@xxxxxxxxxxxxx] On Behalf Of Andrew Shipp Sent: Thursday, December 17, 2009 1:02 PM To: access-uk@xxxxxxxxxxxxx Subject: [access-uk] Re: speach to text software: Hi Hussein So if you use this do you need any thing else to go with it? like I've been told some thing about a program for Jaws called JC to use Dragone natural speaking software, If you don't then I'll be looking at getting this program once more. ----- Original Message ----- From: Hussein Patwa To: access-uk@xxxxxxxxxxxxx Sent: Thursday, December 17, 2009 12:24 PM Subject: [access-uk] Re: speach to text software: Hi, I'm not sure if you meant the subect as the actual title of the software so I'll speak from my own experience in general. I've had great success with Dragon Naturally Speaking 10. Earlier this year both my hands were in splints for the best part of two months due to suspected carpel tunnel syndrome. I used Dragon to dictate all my e-mails, letters and some longer reports. The accuracy level is almost directly proportional to the amount of training you do beforehand, as you have to let the software get used to your voice and speaking patterns. But it works wonderfully even for me with my totally skewed accent (one of the curses of being a multi-linguist). I believe you can get the basic edition for less than £100, although the Preferred one is more expensive. I got mine cheaply when I was travelling abroad, which also has multilanguage support, but if you don't need that than things may well be cheaper. There are undoubtedly other packages out there, but Dragon is one of the better known. HTH. _______________________________________ Have a pleasant day, Kind Regards and Best Wishes, Hussein.
