Prize Draw now closed: Dragon NaturallySpeaking desktop speech recognition software
Living in the digital age means that a computer is an indispensible tool for many people. Whether it’s used for keeping in touch with family and friends via email, chatting online using Skype, visiting social networking sites like Saga Zone, catching up on the news, sharing digital photos, researching a hobby or favourite pastime, shopping or banking online, the personal computer has opened up a world of entertainment, knowledge and information sharing.
Sadly, some people experience difficulties using the keyboard and mouse, which can reduce their ability to realise, and enjoy, a PC’s full potential. People who suffer from RSI or upper body mobility problems often experience pain when using the keyboard and mouse for extended periods, preventing them from accomplishing many of the PC-based tasks they set out to do.
Equally, people who suffer from dyslexia or are blind or partially sighted, often restrict their PC use to only the most essential tasks.
Over the last few years, a revolution has been taking place in the field of desktop speech recognition, a technology that enables you to dictate to your computer, rather than type. Surfing the internet, conducting online searches, dictating emails or letters simply by talking, is now a reality, with Nuance Communications offering Dragon NaturallySpeaking 10. With 99% recognition accuracy, you never have to worry about your spelling, while Dragon will also read aloud to you what you have dictated, making it easy to make any changes or corrections; this is particularly helpful for the partially sighted or people with dyslexia. It's easy to use, too; Dragon's accuracy, from the moment you take it out of the box, gets even better the more you use it.
So, cast aside your keyboard concerns, and open up a world of opportunity simply by talking to your computer, and accomplish what you want to!
