Speak to me you ape!

On Tuesday I got Dragon NaturallySpeaking Professional 8.1 installed at work. It's pretty amazing software. It's certainly not perfect, but I'm amazed at how well it does. Of course sometimes I get very frustrated, but it's way cool and I am typing less. Oddly,this WYSIWYG form doesn't work with Dragon very well. It seems to have issues putting spaces between phrases and selecting the correct section when I make a correction. The "scratch that" command doesn't work either. On the other hand, it knew what WYSIWYG was from the sound, not spelling it out. :-) Sometimes I forget to tell it to "stop listening" and funny things result. For example, a few minutes ago I accidentally created an Outlook calendar entry called "lust for apes." Tee he he. If this makes you wanna run out and buy it, make sure you get the Professional Version. I know it's way more expensive, but I've heard that it makes a huge difference. Can get a discounted price on it through the people who set it up on my computers at work and do our training on the software. If you're interested, let me know and I'll hook you up with them.
