Oh so your using J-Say. That's a shame, thought it might have been without. As
I have full use of my arms I couldn't justify the cost of both J-Say and Dragon.

Hello Jeff.
Just a few of the things that you will have to get used to while dictating or
as follows. The biggest thing is keeping control of the microphone meaning
making sure that the microphone is asleep when you are not using it for example
when someone comes into your office or cubicle and wants to carry on a
conversation with you. I would say the next biggest thing is to learn how to
talk without using filler words such as o m, or and. If you are going to be
using speech recognition software while on the phone with customers you will
have a whole other set of problems to overcome. For example where now you can
type and speak to the customer at the same time of course you will not be able
to speak to dragon naturally speaking and the customer at the same time. You
should at least take all this into consideration before making an investment
into speech recognition software.
I will say for me Dragon naturally speaking along with J--Say is the best
purchase I ever made.
I hope this helps.

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,
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
