What should I expect from Dragon
NaturallySpeaking?
One reason to use Dragon NaturallySpeaking is to do your writing more quickly;
creating letters, reports, and other documents by voice. Another is to reduce the
stress associated with keyboarding. Or maybe you just like the idea of being able to
lean back in your chair, put your feet up on the desk, and still get work done.
Dragon NaturallySpeaking is good for all these reasons, but making it work well
requires some effort from you. Dragon NaturallySpeaking learns about your voice
and pronunciation as you use it. When you use words the program doesn’t know, it
will misrecognize them. By correcting your mistakes, you help Dragon
NaturallySpeaking
improve its ability to recognize your way of speaking.
Do I still need my keyboard and mouse?
Although you can use Dragon NaturallySpeaking to do almost everything on your
computer by voice, some things are still easier to do by mouse or keyboard.
If using a mouse and keyboard is an option for you, try experimenting with using
your voice and using your hands for different tasks, to see what works best. If using a
mouse and keyboard is not an option, see “Working on your Desktop” on page 27.
