Re: Dragon speech to text and voice software.

It was MANY moons ago....but I used to use Dragon to input the historical stats in a High Heat program to edit players.
The software was decent then...and I'm sure it's leaps and bounds better now.
It was sometimes funny though when it got a command wrong.

I'm a writer/screenwriter....this would be a Godsend for me, especially if it works with Final Draft

My experiences with this sort of stuff in the past has never been good, but if this actually works well, it would be pretty neat. It would make typing reports (and on OS!) a lot faster.

I thought we were supposed to have reliable speakwrites in 1984, according to George Orwell. It's about time something comes along.

I have Dragon Dictation on my Android and it works pretty well. I'm sure the PC versions are more accurate and more adaptable to your voice.

Four score and seven years ago our fathers brought forth, upon this continent, a new nation, conceived in Liberty, and dedicated to the proposition that all men are created equal.
Now we are engaged in a great civil war, testing whether that nation, or any nation so conceived, and so dedicated, can long endure.

This was the early part of the Gettysburg Address. It left out a "to" and an "in a".

Pretty sure Orwell wasn't trying to be Nostradamus.
