Well if you would be good enough to give us some more ideas of how to do this without training I would for one be most interested. I installed 12 or maybe 13 pro and it was not very good with the Scottish accent so please if you can help on or off list would be very welcome.

David. Sorry absolutely not the case anymore. For sure you can train it, but with Dragon 11.5 and even earlier you absolutely do not need to sit and train it if you don't want to. Often these days people start off by not doing the training and with a basic voice profile, then after a while they will either do training or use some of the other tools provided in the software, like presenting documents for analysis etc. There are many ways these days to get the software very quickly to do what you want without copious amounts of time sitting in front of the computer talking to it!

Is the product now known as 'Dragon Dictate'? I think it was called 'Dragon Naturally Speaking' before. The only experience I have of this is from about fifteen years ago when the software needed a lot of training to recognise a voice. This lady is not visually impaired but her needs as a software developer are probably a little different from somebody just writing plain English. e.g. she needs to be able to say 'left curly brace' and have '{' appear instead of the words. I will have a look on Amazon to see how much this software costs. I presume this is the kind of thing that ATW might pay for if she asks her employer to investigate.

The current version from a recognition perspective gives very high levelsofaccuracy literally without any voice training. What I mean by that is the days of having to sit and read text to the computer are now long gon! Depending on whether your friend is visually impaired or not, you may need to look at the screen reader accessibility sie of things, and that in turn may mean you need to consider the higher priced professional dragonproduct,however if not then for sure you can get a Dragon product very reasonably priced that will effectively assist in text computer input. Hope that is of some help? Terry Clasper.

She is suffering with a condition which is going to make typing more and more difficult. I have suggested to her that she might like to investigate options as far as speech recognition software goes. Does anybody on the list have any experience of this and have anything to say about it? The only name I have in my head is 'Dragon'. Mike
