Dragon Naturally Speaking 8 for Pocket PC/Desktop Review
Posted by Jason Dunn in "ARTICLE" @ 12:00 PM
"What would you do if you could cut the amount of time you spend every day typing e-mails, making forum posts, typing in reports and otherwise putting fingers to keyboard to communicate your message? For several years there have been companies such as IBM and ScanSoft whose aim has been to allow you to simply talk into a microphone and have that voice translated into text. Considering you can speak at hundreds words a minute, the potential of getting more work done in a shorter period of time is phenomenal. Writing the Great American novel while you sit back in your chair (or even lying flat on a bed) with eyes closed, hands at your side, while playing music into your headphones would suddenly become within the grasp of just about every person...literate or not."
If the idea of using your Pocket PC as a dictation device excites you, check out this review. I used to be a big fan of Dragon Naturally Speaking, but gave up on it a couple of years ago because it seemed like even with 99% accuracy, I still had to reach for the keyboard at least once per dictated sentence.
