Dragon Naturally Speaking Is a Great Time Saver
Oh my, I’ve been so busy lately that I really feel like I’m falling behind on just about everything. I’m even having trouble keeping up with posting on my two blogs. Some nights it seems as if I have to choose between blogging and cooking dinner. Well, if you have a family, I’m sure you know which one wins out. Unfortunately, I can’t chop veggies, brown meat, and get it all put together while typing blog posts or any other writing tasks.
I recently went so far as to take Dragon’s typing speed test! typing just to see how I could do. There was someone speaking the words at the same time, so that was a bit distracting. I wound up with these results:
So, I’ve been hearing a lot about a program called Dragon Naturally Speaking and did some checking into it, including reading Dragon Reviews. It’s a program that allows you to speak into your computer’s microphone and then the software does all of the typing for you. It allows you to type at the same speed that you speak. Sounds great to me! I would be using the PC program (it is also available for MAC) and I could get so much more done, talk about an opportunity to multi-task!
There is a novel writing contest, NaNoWrimo, beginning November 1. If you’re interested in entering, you should consider using Dragon NaturallySpeaking for NaNoWrimo as it would allow you to type so much faster and get a better flow to your writing. Check out these videos for more information.
