Dragon Naturally Speaking
The NY Times Review of DNS10, When Your
Computer Listens to You, tells about a revolutionary software program. This program will change the way the spoken word becomes the written word. There have been many instances of wanting to blog about something but not feeling up to typing it all out. I have trouble with headaches and often cannot stand to look at a computer screen. Dragon Naturally Speaking 10 Standard is a software program that allows me to speak and the text is written for me. All I have to do is insert a bit of punctuation into my speech so that what is written is in a context that is readable. This sounds like a wonderful way to blog, write letters and even produce proposals for our business customers.
Dragon Naturally Speaking 10 Preferred is showcased in the following video.
Doesn’t that look like the perfect way to get your thoughts down? It looks like the author was so relaxed and at ease while he spoke. His thoughts were put into text right before our eyes. On a good day, I can type right up there with the fastest typist. An exceptional typist averages about 90-100 words per minute. We speak at approximately 150 words per minute. Dragon Naturally Speaking can keep up with me while I speak. That means I can blog over 150 words a minute! I am excited to see how much more I can do with my day after finishing a blog entry so quickly.
Dragon Naturally Speaking is going to change the world of blogging.

Yeah, 150 wpm is incredible. The biggest drawback is probably going to be the cost.
