I did not think it would happen easily either as I had to interpret things not just translate and not sure the program could understand when the docs were dictating while eating lunch or in a really big hurry or very sleepy and their made up abbreviations for things. lol Christine ----- Original Message ----- From: "Judith Tramayne" <jtb@xxxxxxxxxxxxx> To: <pctechtalk@xxxxxxxxxxxxx> Sent: Sunday, January 15, 2006 8:17 PM Subject: -=PCTechTalk=- Re: Dragon NaturallySpeaking 8 Never going to happen (LOL) -- can't see a doctor taking the time to train one of these programs or saying, comma, exclamation point or other things when your diction isn't as good as what the program thinks it should be. Once trained though, it can type as fast as I can speak. This program is a lot better than the first one I tried. It would be useful for old books I've written but not on computer yet. I wouldn't have to retype all of them, just speak and make small adjustments later in Word or whatever program I'm using. Maybe next winter (smile). Judith http://www.agoodread.com Sharing is the key to all our $uccess! I had a frustrating experience about five or so years ago trying to "train" one of these speaking programs and left a bad taste in my mouth ;0 I also type very fast and would find it annoying but had checked it out for the heck of it. I was curious after being told I may be replaced as a medical transcriptionist with these types of programs.
