I’ve started trying out some software that I think will help with my blogging. It’s rather complex, but it helps simplify thing with some practice. It’s easy to pick up, if not I think they’d call it “Dragon UnNaturally Speaking.” I think it holds true to it’s title. Dragon Naturally Speaking is very natural, it’s commands that you’ve used your hands to deliver for so long, but only through the power of your voice. I think if you give it a try, it’s very useful and powerful. I’ve put together this list of 8 Tips to help you along the way.
- The tutorial’s good and of course I recommend training, but there’s some basic stuff that you need to check into.
- Definitely check out crating commands called “MyCommands” that are like macros.
- Single steps are very useful one at a time, but image the ability of stringing those together in a sequence to perform a series of tasks.
- Make use of the ability to move the insertion point.
- Practice and pay attention when correcting. You’ll be doing a lot of it, and it simultaneously trains to prevent the error from occuring in the future. This is a time saver when done right.
- Take time to train commands. While you’re doing that, use the finding commands feature to look for commonly used commands.
- I suggest checking the help contents for positioning the microphone.
- In Windows explorer, you can select files, move, cut, paste, delete, copy, etc using commands from Dragon Naturally Speaking. I suggest being careful with delete until you feel you’re a pro. Using the software in Windows explorer may be reserved for experienced users, but put forth effort when attempting and you will be more satisfied with the results.
