Guess who just got Dragon NaturallySpeaking?

I did.

and I'm using it to type out this post. It's pretty awesome, but I still have to work out the kinks with it. It gets easier with time, right?

1. I have a colleague

who used that software to transcribe a bunch of interviews.

The results were bizarre and hilarious. Total word salad. He had to go back through all the tapes and try to figure out what everyone was really talking about.

We concluded it can only learn one voice/vocal pattern. :D

Have fun with it!

2. My coworker just got it a couple weeks ago

She has nerve damage in her hands because of a spinal cord injury, and she's just getting used to it. It does get easier with time, and it's pretty remarkable.

The only problem my coworker had was doing spaces (like with the spacebar). She's still working on that.
