I am subscribed to the New York Times Review of new products by David Pogue. I download it to my iPod touch and watch it on the train, on my way to work. I saw a review that he’s done on the Dragon Naturally Speaking Software which allows voice recognition to record and type your words for you. As a blogger, I became very interested in the product because you all know that typing hundreds and hundreds of words could get really old. When David showed how he could type without using his hands (tied behind his back), I was amazed. I thought, I need to get a hold of that product no mater what it takes.
Dragon NaturallySpeaking 10 is their latest release and I must tell you, this is a gift to all
bloggers out there. We spend so many hours typing away (most specially if manage more than one blog) and it could get really old! Did you know that you can speak words many times over than you can type it? Just imagine the benefit of it. It’s like having a personal secretary jotting down your every word.
Of course, there are a bit of tiny things that you need to get used to like saying the
punctuations such as “comma” or “period” or “next paragraph”. But even so, having such an innovative product as this has blown me away. I will probably never go back to typing again! Haha!
Take the Dragon NaturallySpeaking typing test! and let me know how you do. I tried it and the result was quite depressing. Dragon Naturally Speaking can increase my productivity by 320%? That is more than what I would expect my 401K to gain in the next 100 years with the way the market is going. So, it’s something that I can be happy about.
Watch the videos below and tell me how this product is not the best you’ve seen so far. Blogger or not – I would endorse this product. Anything that can increase productivity is
a must. And besides, blogging is my business. If I can increase it a hundred fold – even
better.
Here’s the video I created to show you how the software works!
