RE: jaws and dragon naturally speaking

Thanks Pat,

If you didn't have to spend a great deal of time teaching it to recognize
your voice, where does the learning curve come in?  This is for work where I
have XP.  Do you think that it would be significantly different from Vista
with DNS?

Jeffrey, <mailto:sidney.schwartz@xxxxxxxxxxxxx> 

 

I have experimented with DNS 10 and have been very favorably impressed. The
speech recognition out of the box without training was remarkably good. I
was able to dictate a few test e-mails with surprisingly good results.
However, there is a steep learning curve to master this feature rich
program. The program is  cheap - I was able to buy it from Nuance on a
promotion for around $50. If you are willing to make the investment and
devote time to the learning process, it might work for you. As of now, I
can't afford the time to use it consistently, but that may not be true for
you.

 

HTH,

Pat

Hi Jeffrey,

 

I've never used DNS with Jaws, but I did have some success with the built in
speech recognition in Windows Vista, using System Access.

I'm in my early sixties and between contact sports when young and sighted
and decades of copious typing, I fear that I have developed arthritis in my
hands.  I'd like to use Dragon.  The party line from FS is that one can only
do it with Dragon Professional and the T and T consultancy intermediate
program.  I believe that I have heard one or two on this list say that they
use Dragon Naturally Speaking directly with jaws.  I'd be grateful for any
feedback on this issue
