Voice to Text software

[J Grant]

Does one have to do a lot of checking for corrections and verbiage when using voice to speech?

With Dragon you have to proofread everything but it's a considerable timesaver for me. It's amazingly accurate.

To add to what Mike said, if you say, do a dictation in Word, you'll still have the squiggly underlines for misspelled words and grammer. You can still spell check your dictated document with Word itself.

You really don't even have to touch the keyboard if you get to know all the voice commands to maneuver around the document. For example, if you see that dragon used the word there instead of their.... you speak "select there" all the "there" words will be highlighted and numbered...."choose 2", "change that" a list will drop down for you to select the correct word...."choose 1" and the word will change to your correct meaning.

You can move the cursor all around via paragraphs, pages, end the lines just by speaking. As Mike stated, it is amazingly accurate. You can talk as you normally do and it will type it all out. It's really cool once you get past the learning curve.

Edit: also, the program is taught by you and learns how you write by scanning your emails and by training it to your style. I trained my software to recognize appraisal terms so that it would not mess up for appraisal reports. Extraordinary assumptions, hypothetical conditions, externalities, Etc. It will learn all the appraisal terms you teach it and will not miss a beat.

I got tired of having to spell MAGA so I trained Dragon to spell that every time I pronounced the word "dumbass". Works every time, and I smile appropriately.

I have a problem with my voice. Even when I ask for directions in my iphone, it sometimes have my addresses wrong. Ugh.
It's hard to input the address when I'm speeding on the freeway.

Do you speak in "Disney"?

Do you speak in "Disney"?

Not sure. I try to say That's all folks and instead Dat's all folks.
Or when I say Three, it thinks I'm saying Tree. Not just computer but humans misunderstood me too.

Do you speak to it and "present" and "past tense" at the same time? Do you realize that you're doing this?
