[senco-forum] Voice Recognition Software

Dragon naturally speaking - with training!

> Dragon naturally speaking - with training!

..."with training" being the operative phrase here. Speech recognition
systems require skills and involve mental processes that are very
different compared with handwriting or keyboarding, so don't think of
this in terms of a simple and easy substitute for writing.

It's best to view speech recognition primarily as a means of being
able to do extended writing, at least initially.

One other solution you might like to explore first or along side this
is 'touch typing' without having to look at the keyboard.

Hope this helps,
