White Smoke Software In
Action
Overview
Let's
make one thing perfectly clear.It would be an
injustice if this review was not entirely done
with Dragon Naturally Speaking 10.That said let's
continue with the review. I am going to assume
you have no prior knowledge of Dragon 10
therefore I will review it as
such.
Dragon Naturally Speaking
10 is a
revolutionary speech recognition software created by a
company called Nuance. They have several awesome
products,but Dragon 10 is by far the best.Dragon 10
comes in many different formats for different
professions,such as their legal edition for legal
professions and their medical edition for medical
professionals.Dragon also comes in many different
languages.However,we will be discussing
Dragon Naturally Speaking 10 Preferred
Edition. This
edition has more than enough features that will help
any business or entrepreneur increase productivity as
well as improve the structure of the articles and
documents you create.
If you
have a newer version of Windows on your computer
then you may have their Speech recognition
software installed on your computer.If you are a
Mac user then you may be familair with iListen.
Whatever the case if you have used speech
recognition before and have a negative
impression, then clear your mind and take a
second look!
When
opening your package you will get 1
cd that you
have to install on your computer.It can take up
to 2 GB of space so make sure you have the
room.Installation is generally smooth and takes
about 10 minutes total.Once installed you get a
cool little dragon desktop icon.Initially youj
may go through a "trust phase",meaning you may
talk kind of robotic because you may be worried
the software won't understand you if you talk
normal.Well this is what's great,their name is
the truth,you can speak naturally,and still get
the accuracy out of the speech recognition
software.In actuality I noticed the more
naturally you speak the better the software seems
to understand you!
In my
opinion if you can afford it,then Dragon
Naturally Speaking 10 is a must have tool. Consider it a
"part of doing business". Seriously.Undoubtedly
if you are doing business on the internet,you
know how important fresh content is to have on
your web site,and also throughout the internet on
other important sites to market your
business.
This
being the case,along with a million other things
as a business owner you have to do,you have to
find ways to free up time for yourself.Like they
say,"time is money".That is why I believe in this
product so much.
Dragon 10
allows you to literally do two things at once.I
will let you in on something.I am a video gamer
still to this day,and I purchased Dragon 10 with
the thought in the back of my head of being able
to write articles,and play video games at the
same time. Well I was able to accomplish this,the
only downside is that I have to keep the volume
lower than I like on my tv,because Dragon10 is
very sensitive to sound.
If you
haven't noticed,I emphasize the fact that you can
increase business productivity.Just for an
example,previous to using Dragon 10 I could do
two maybe three articles a day promoting several
business products.After purchasing Dragon 10 I
can easily do five to six a day
now!
To sum it
up,if you're thinking about purchasing
Dragon Naturally Speaking 10
Preferred Edition,then don't hesitate.If you can
purchase it now go ahead,you will always be
asking yourself,why didn't I get this earlier? If
productivity is the key for your business like it
is for most businesses, then this software will
definitely take your business to the next
level!
Features
Up to
99% Speech recognition accuracy-3x faster than
typing- I have
had a few articles with zero errors,but generally it's
words that have very similar pronunciation.Since most
people average 40 words per minute typing,by using
Dragon you can triple that to 120 words per
minute.Dragon doesn't make spelling errors,and will
"learn" your typing habits-imagine the increased
productivity.
Compatible with
any
Microsoft
Windows program-Yes that is correct.You can
open all of your favorite programs with speech
recognition-Microsoft Publisher,Word,Power
point,Excel,and Internet Explorer,to name a
few.Yes you can go on the internet without having
to touch your computer.Dragon gives you total
hands free voice control.
Administrative tools for large
Networks-If you are a larger business or
orginization then you will need more complex
administrative tools.Dragon Naturally 10 accomplishes
this in a couple of ways-You can centrally manage
Dragon voice files,customized vocabulary files,as well
as multpiple Dragon installations within your
network.
Automate complex documents or
repetitve article creation
tasks-
Dragon 10 allows you to utilize macros for large
documents,signatures,repeat paragraphs,repeat
phrases,and boiler plates,and not only that create any
of these documents with a single voice
command!
Mobile
Entrepreneur
friendly-If
you happen to be a mobile entrepreneur who has a
desire to be productive on the road as well as in
the office,then Dragon 10 has a feature designed
just for you! You can dictate into any Nuance
certified handheld device your creative ideas,or
business dealing that needs immediate
attention.Once at your computer Dragon
automatically transcribes your speech to
text.
Dragon
Naturally Speaking 10 Professional is Section 508
Certified-If you are a business entity that has
a need for disability management then Dragon 10
Professional edition may be best suited for your
needs.Dragon 10 Professional allows your disabled
workers to continue to work,and also help with
rehabilitation if it is a injury related with the use
of their arms or hands such as carpal tunnel
syndrome.
Perfect
fit for frequent Internet Business
Users-Dragon 10 has built in function
called Dragon Voice Shortcuts that allow you to search
the internet faster than ever! Anytime you perform a
Internet web search Dragon uses your default web
browser and search engine to display your results. All
the major search engines such as Google,Yahoo,as well
as popular sites such as Ebay,Wikipedia,and Youtube
support Dragon Voice Shortcuts to name a
few.
Sending
Emails and scheduling appointments have never been
easier-As
a business owner or Entrepreneur you know how important
it is to keep up with your email contacts.With Dragon
it's as simple as one single voice command.For example
if you are online and run into a business contact by
the name of John Smith and need to send them some
information,all you say is "Send email to John
Smith" and Dragon 10 will open up your
email program and in the send to fill will add John
Smith automatically!The same applies to scheduling
appointments. Simply say "schedule meeting with John
Smith" and Dragon 10 will open up a new calender entry
in Microsoft Outlook for you.
Handsfree Desktop
Navigation-Using your Desktop for common
functions such as file search,email search,web browsing
history. Say "search computer for business plans" then
Dragon 10 will use Google desktop or Vista desktop and
perform a search for that inquiry.Email searches are
performed similary,say "find a email about marketing
courses" Dragon will open up the most recen email
containing those keywords!
