Talk to RR.

I have used IBM Via Voice for many years.
Dragon Naturally Speaking is far better at this point.

I won't leave home without it!
I just can't used those canned report programs.
Those of you that do, you can use Dragon with any program. So if it doesnt quiet fit and you don't want to type, go with voice.

I have a long commute and can get 2 hours of work done on the road as I drive. You can't use any other reporting program while your driving! I can dictate faster than I can look up the answer! And it fits the occasion every time.

David,

Have you tried Dragon? If it saves me from two fingering, I may have to spring for it!

[David A. Andersen]

That is what I use now (second version I've gone through).

As I said, I won't leave home without it.

Ditto what David said. I use DNS (version 9) as well for the same reasons.

Jeff,
I got it a couple weeks ago and it works great. Faster than two fingerin'. Back to picking my nose and doing reports at the same time.

Is there a web address for the dragon software?

[Doug Edwards, CMI]

http://www.digitalriver.com/v2.0-img...referred_9.htm

However, when you get ready to buy it, you can usually find much better prices online (download) or even at Office Depot, Office Max, Staples, etc.

[Allan G. Berdahl, CMI]

Thank you. I will now go shopping to find better deals at Staples, Office Depot etc..
Its to be able to compare different products. hankx for the link Doug.

which edition of dragon are u dragon users using, standard or preferred?

[Doug Edwards, CMI]

I use DNS ver 9 Preferred.

[Russel Ray]

DNS V9 Standard.

I've been using DNS since V3, when there was only DNS. Now they have four or five versions, but the original/Standard has served me very well over the years.

[Doug Edwards, CMI]

I got Preferred for $99 on disk from Nuance along with some other goodies for being a previous customer. Great deal, could not pass it up. Version 9 works so much better than 8 for simple reason of there was conflict with MS in version 8 that even their "fix" didn't completely fix. Either one is better than typing.

Please excuse me for arriving late, But what is this about voice recording?
I use Home Gauge and after a visit to their site I read about voice recording. Does this mean you don't have to type anymore? Will I be able to speak into a ppc or laptop and have it converted to text even in Brooklyneeze. Help me out guys, I am kind of old school writing everything down and then doing the report at home. It's hard to teach an old dog new tricks....
Thanks,
John
