Blogging with voice recognition

Posted by David Whitehouse

Because of spending years suffering with terrible arm pain caused by a mix of accidents and spending too much time on the computer I have decided to try out some software I bought a few years ago.

I’m blogging this using Dragon NaturallySpeaking 9.5, it seems to be doing pretty well although I have had to make quite a few corrections already. It would be a good idea to get to grips with this piece of software to see if I can blog a lot quicker than I normally do.

Overall I’m pretty pleased I can sit at my desk and talk and it writes for me and I don’t have to risk aggravating my arm pain although my girlfriend will be getting pretty sick of my loud voice.

  2. Blimey – I remember Dragon voice recognition. Good idea for use with a blog, although given the maturity of voice recognition software I’d have thought by now we’d be onto thought recognition. Sometimes progress just isn’t what you’d think it would be eh? I still don’t get to work using my personal jet pack :(
