Dragon Speak

I know many here use or want to use Dragon Speak. I saw this special offer on QVC this morning and thought I'd post about it here in case any of you are interested in it.

I've never used it but this seems like an incredible value. And you have 30 days to try it out. If you don't like it you can send it back for a refund.

I was going to try this before Xmas... then my son said it took a long time to verbally train it... for medical words etc.

So I decided to save and get my new camera instead. :o

Hi,

I have been using Dragon NaturallySpeaking since the early 1990's and have trained many students and teachers starting with version 1. (It was DragonDictate before that.) It took a long time to train back then but now initial training is less than about 10 minutes. Any version 7 or higher is good. I have version 10 now but that is because my 8 year old great nephew has a learning disability in reading and writing so I got him a more recent version. In 2002 I began having great difficulty writing a check (MMN) but I finished by ed specialist degree and part of a PhD using Dragon for all papers.

I really believe it is worth a try. Best Wishes, Peg

I've got dragon dictation, the mobile version, on my iPhone (it's free), and it works pretty well. I have issues with my fingers not working some days. It's on and off and some days I'm ok and other's I can't even write my name, so I use it in lieu of typing. The way it works on the iPhone is that it puts your spoken word into copy/paste so that you just paste it into a text or email message and off you go. Considering that otherwise I would have a lot of trouble on my bad days, this is a good app for me. It's not perfect, but it's pretty good. I'm not familiar with the desktop version, but it's probably a bit more accurate than the free mobile version since it costs money, and I would recommend it for anyone with issues typing, especially if there's a free trial involved. Shop around though. Try the different deal sites, such as slickdeals, bensbargains and fatwallet. They show the daily deals from all over the web every day and have saved me lots of money on purchases. In fact I saved my neighbor over 400 dollars last week, because he was looking for a particular dell laptop. I searched those sites and found 3 stackable coupon codes for his laptop listed, which he was very happy with since it brought is end price down from $13xx to $9xx for a core i7 17 in xps laptop. (I'm not affiliated with any of these sites, but I do love to see everyone get a bargain, especially when they may need to save the extra buck).
