[ddots-l] Re: voice recognition software

Hi sorry it took so long to get back but I just finished a stay in Washington 
D.C. and I found my way out...

As far as speech programs go there was some years ago a war between IBM 
ViaVoice and Dragon Naturally Speaking.  Then Naturally Speaking got bought out 
about 3 times which at first the buy out was to take the money out and leave a 
shell of a program.

Now today you will find Naturally Speaking the best overall for speech to text. 
 There are some cheap ones out there and some shareware but they fall short.  
So if you want something that will work right get "Naturally Speaking and make 
sure it's the latest version.  The new one has very shorter learning curve.  
Take care...

     John

  Hello all,
     I am looking into using voice recognition software for text dictation and 
was wondering if any of you have explored this option? Is there a particular 
program that works better than others? I was playing with e-Speaking, but it 
doesn't seem to understand a lot of the commands (although, I'm sure a better 
microphone would help).
    Your suggestions are most welcome.
