When I worked with it several years ago it was very difficult to do for a blind person. You train the program by reading words and phrases from the screen.
I always thought it would be cute to train dragon to jaws and walk away while my computer copied itself into infinity.

Yup. It was that expensive. And limited and difficult to use and slow. The packages that are available now are tremendously better.Judy s.

I remember when I first heard of Dragon Naturally Speaking it was in about 1989 or not too long after that and I said to myself that I wish I could afford that. The price was considerably more than any amount of money I had ever had together at one time. Even though I wished I had one at that time I really did not need it and still don't so I never looked into it again. Now I understand that it works a whole lot better than it did then and, apparently, the price is down to something I might be able to swing. Alas, I still don't need it and I am quite used to typing. I don't think I will be in any rush to go out and get it. By the way, I was watching the evening news a little while ago and there was a commercial for a car with a navigation system with voice recognition. The driver was having what amounted to a conversation with his car. There was certainly not anything like that available when I was driving and I still have never ridden as a passenger in a car that could do that. The first thing that popped into my mind as I was listening to the commercial was Star Trek.To unsubscribe from this list, send a blank Email to bookshare-discuss-request@xxxxxxxxxxxxx Put the word 'unsubscribe' by itself in the Subject line.
