Old Faithful

Version 8 of the voice activation software may be out of date, but it will still faithfully execute your voice commands. But, it will also save you a lot of money. If you want the ability to work with your computer hands-free, but you do not have money to invest in the newer versions, here is the answer to your dilemma.

A Wrist Saver

space

Dragon Naturally Speaking 8 Standard is still a wrist saver. If you have already suffered from carpel tunnel syndrome, you already know the consequences of typing on the computer too much. If you have not, you can save yourself the pain and time off the job.

If you have arthritis, you may have given up on the idea of enjoying the benefits of the computer and Internet. But, with this voice activation software, you can send emails to friends and family. Go ahead and type those letters or surf the Web.

Unfortunately, if you have Windows Vista, version 8 will probably not be compatible. However, you can check on the net for patches or solutions to this problem, so you can still save money and enjoy the benefits of Dragon Naturally Speaking 8 Standard.

It has already been outdated by its big brother, version 10, but it is still a great program.

Personally Speaking

The Dragon program can do almost anything your fingers can, when using the computer. If it cannot, it is probably something you will never use in the first place. The software will help you open all of your programs, create emails, type documents, and surf the Web. It might even help you play computer games; but, you will have to check that out for yourself.

Personal Computing

Of course, Dragon Naturally Speaking 8.0 is a very personal program. You will have to take the time and train it to recognize your voice. The software does not care if you have an accent or any special speech patterns. It will learn your voice, while you are learning the commands it will recognize.

But, after the learning process, you will be able to use the computer much faster than you do right now. It types faster than most people. It can quickly enter and exit multiple programs. Plus, it can help you surf the Web, even if you have multiple tabs open at one time.

Even for people who have no problem using the computer Dragon Naturally Speaking 8.0 is awesome. But, if you suffer from arthritis or strain injuries, it can be a real miracle.

Mr Sassine Mazraani, CEO of Emerging Technologies, explains the differences between live call center agent and a speech recognition agent.

Everyone from doctors, writers and the disabled are making use of voice recognition software and voice activated applications. What used to have to be dictated to secretaries or took hours to write out by hand can be submitted directly through the use of voice activated software to a word processing program. A small amount of editing and the document is ready to go.

The key behind voice recognition software is the ability for technology to covert a person’s voice into a recognizable data pattern. Everyone speaks slightly differently, an accent or simply the way a phrase is put together. This makes it impossible for the computer to translate without first being trained. All voice activated software applications and programs that are compatible with voice recognition are going to require some kind of user specific training.

The training allows the computer to create a template matching a set of words on screen with those same words as spoken and converted inputted user data. When the program is later used outside of the training function, the spoken words are matched with the original input data from the training program, which is matched to the typed word.

Originally, speech or voice recognition software was limited to a specific program or a specific piece of equipment. However, advances in technology have made it possible for voice activated protocols to be placed in almost every program allowing not only programs but also large portions of computer systems to run off voice recognition.

There are a number of non-business based benefits to the use of voice recognition software applications. For example, it gives those individuals who are blind or who cannot manipulate a keyboard due to a physical disability the opportunity to make use of a computer and in many cases gain a level of independence. Voice activated programs can allow people with disabilities to be able to work and in some cases obtain an unknown level of self sufficiency.

These are just some of the outside of business benefits. Inside the office the benefits of voice recognition and voice activated applications are numerous. Creating documents, memos, and reports can easily be spoken leaving hands free to complete other tasks. Phone calls can be made via voice over IP software applications, which rely on the ability of the computer to convert voice into data.

In many cases, it breaks down to a simple case of mathematics. The average office worker types between 50-70 words per minute. However, speech recognition programs can handle 120 words per minute at 98% accuracy with proper training, even editing can be accomplished through the use of voice activated programming. This makes the use of these types of software applications a way to increase productivity as well as giving individuals with disabilities new ways to interact and work.

In the Beginning

At first, the Dragon dictate software may seem a little daunting. It knows so many commands, and it has a massive dictionary. But, it needs to learn how to recognize your voice and the way you say different words. It does not care if you have an accent or a speech problem. Once it has been taught how you speak, it hears the words you intend to say, and they appear on the document, open a program, or help you surf the Web. The more you use the program, the more accurate it becomes.

In the End

After you have used Dragon dictate software for a while, chances are you will not know what you ever did without it. The computer will follow your instructions as fast as you can talk, whether you want to open you email and send a note, or start typing a term paper for college. You can give your hands a break. Rock your baby to sleep, while using Dragon dictate for a document that has to be completed as soon as possible. Do the dishes will working on that paper; or just relax and let your voice do the typing, while you concentrate on the next phrase. In the end, if you are often on your computer, you and Dragon dictate will be inseparable.

The Improvements

One of the problems with purchasing software is not being able to use it, when you have a new operating system. For example, when most of the computers came with Windows Vista, if you already had voice activation software, it no longer worked. However, the makers of naturally speaking software are quick to solve the problem with the Dragon 9 version. It is compatible with the new system, and also has the improvements to make the voice commands even easier.

You are the Boss

The best part of Dragon 9 is that you are the boss. You actually train the software to recognize how you speak, so it will recognize your words. You do not have to worry about being perfect in speech. The voice recognition software follows your lead. In fact, the longer you use the software, the more perfected the performance becomes. It is already programmed with a massive dictionary. But, you can even add the slang or pet words that you may have, even if they are not technically recognized by Webster.

Naturally speaking with Dragon 9 is just that. Once you have it installed on your computer, it recognizes your voice, your commands, and puts you in the driver’s seat-hands free. So quit making your fingers do the walking, and start talking your way to success.
