If you have actually met me in person you know that I talk a lot. It has even been suggested that I talk to the computer instead of the people so yesterday when finding the software Dragon NaturallySpeaking at BJ's while out shopping I thought, "Why not?" :-)
As a professional genealogist one of my specialties is technology as it applies to genealogy. I can never decide if I like gravestone photography more than I like using technology! It is raining today so I guess I will have to
This photo is box that Dragon NaturallySpeaking (version 11) (Basics) comes in. Much to my surprise a headset came in the box. I took the headset out and looked it over and decided that the one I already owned was more sophisticated.
It was important to decide that ahead of time because I knew when I installed the software it was going to recognize the headset during the process of installation. I was right.
I took my time with the installation and even put the headset on while doing so. For $59.95, I think it is a good bargain.
It is going to take some time to train it to recognize some of the special genealogical terms. By the way, and had no trouble with genealogical.
I decided to train it to recognize Granite-in-My-Blood so that it would put the hyphens and the capitalize in the right places. That worked flawlessly.
To train Dragon NaturallySpeaking for special words and terms all you have to do is pulldown the Vocabulary Menu and choose " Add new word or phrase…" Then, you type the phrase or word and then speak it aloud. I did not have to say, "hyphen" or capitalize the words!
I am impressed! So, I guess I'll be talking to you later!
