Nuance Dragon Naturally Speaking Software

Speaking of Productivity…

This may look like an ordinary blog post but it really is not like most blog posts you’ve seen.

In fact the very unique thing about this blog post is that I haven’t written a word, typed a line or entered even a single character.

This blog post that was created entirely with my voice.

I sat comfortably in front of my laptop and I spoke this blog post into being.

Years ago I tried to use voice translation software but it was absolutely impossible.

It took hours of training the vocabulary into the software to begin with, and then it seemed that every other word was new to the software and I had to train and retrain it again.

Great concept. But frustrating in practice.

Not so this time.

After straightforward installation which took only five minutes and then another 5 to 10 minutes of training my vocabulary into the software this Dragon NaturallySpeaking software was ready to go.

I’m totally converted. Once a cynic, I’m now a believer, and I predict I’ll soon be an evangelist.

In fact I can see that this is going to be an indispensable tool in my day-to-day use.

If you haven’t ever tried voice translation software or if you’ve been putting it off until it’s been reliable and trustworthy enough to use, it’s very possible that now the time has come.

Visit the Nuance.com site and take their Dragon Naturally Speaking software for a test drive.

You may be very surprised and your productivity may very well skyrocket.

    I want to put some content in a membership site using Wordpress. Did you mention that there was a plugin for that in an email?

      Took a while to reply – sorry! What I'm using now and like a lot is TheMemberPlugin.com. I like the seamless integration as a standard plugin to WP. Try it out — I think you'll like it.
