Dragon Dictate by maggiemae

Dragon Dictate

A picture showing myself in the process of learning how to use this program. I am trying to read my Mother's diary of 1929 which is seen here on the left and dictate it into the Word Document. Apart from some odd words it comes up with, it's pretty good and I can actually talk quite fast.

I have to shut the microphone off when something else happens like the phone or it busily types everything it hears, into the document!
Cool

I've been seeing the commercial for Dragon! Thanks for sharing.... I wondered how well it worked!
December 17th, 2012  
Neat, my older sister uses Dragon and swears by it.
December 17th, 2012  
Beautiful selfie. it's good to have this program!

I have never had any luck with Dragon. I just cannot get it to work properly. I'm going to try uninstalling and reinstalling it again :-(

I have not heard of this program, but I bet it is a great program to use. Fun to see you heard at work. And great selfie.
December 18th, 2012  
I'm impressed! That seems like quite a task. Good job!
December 18th, 2012  
I would LOVE to have one of these!! I wondered if it would pick up everything you say- now I know! And I love seeing your mother's diary there- wow- look at all the writing! You are so dedicated. I hope the Dragon really helps you with this project.

@asutherland1964 you have to have the two disks to start off with. Then establish a profile where the app learns your particular voice. Other things too - heaps of commands but I'm still learning!

Wow, how cool. . .I've heard the commercials on television about this program! It will be interesting to see how you like it as you become more comfortable using it!
December 18th, 2012  
wonder what your mother would think of this technology!
December 18th, 2012  
Great selfie and what a wonderful project to be working on.
December 18th, 2012  
Wow, that program sounds pretty cool. I could really get into to that one.

@digitalrn You have to be careful not to swear if something goes wrong, like falling off your chair, or the cat jumping on to the keys!
December 18th, 2012  
@maggiemae LOL, that could prove to be interesting. Good editing needed
December 18th, 2012  
Nice machine!! Nice project of yours.
December 18th, 2012  
lovely selfie and what a cool idea!
December 18th, 2012  
what a challenge
December 18th, 2012  
@sarasdadandmom I just love challenges - my children are all grown up now and I need new ones - challenges that is!

I had never heard of this program, but it sounds like a great idea. Very nice selfie!
December 18th, 2012  
You are brave to take on this project! Best of luck with it as your family will truly appreciate your efforts.
December 18th, 2012  
Sounds like a great program for your project
December 18th, 2012  
Fantastic capture. That is an awesome idea and must be so much help for your project. I viewed this large and your Mother had such beautiful handwriting. It looks so delicate.
December 18th, 2012  
Cool capture & program!
December 18th, 2012  
What a wonderful program. How amazing you can preserve her words this way!
December 18th, 2012  
Cool shot. I am learning to use that to text on my phone to my DIL. Good for us to be so technologically advanced! I'm glad that you have caught all that without all the typing.
December 18th, 2012  
L @cdonohoue that sounds fairly advanced - to a phone! Have to tell John about that!
December 18th, 2012  
Clever technology - this voice recognition stuff is much better now than it was. A blind friend of mine had a very early version - revolutionary!

I'm very impressed, Maggiemae. Chapeau!
December 18th, 2012  
Nice selfie Maggiemae....your life would be so much easier if only Mum had remembered to pack her Dictaphone! :)
December 18th, 2012  
Great selfie. Technology really is amazing! Dragon Dictate sounds like a wonderful program!
December 18th, 2012  
Great selfie and it sounds like a great piece of technology that I could use!
December 19th, 2012  
Cool computer program. Good selfie.
December 19th, 2012  
Very cool set up. It's fun to see you in your environment.

I've wondered how well that program works!
December 19th, 2012  
Keep up the good work!
December 19th, 2012  
very nice selfie Maggiemae
December 19th, 2012  
I have just started seeing a lot of dragon commercials on tv. Looks like once it learns your speech it will be a time saver. what a great shot.
December 19th, 2012  
This speech recognition could be a real time saver! And I see you're an Apple fan too :)
December 19th, 2012  
Maggiemae, you do make me laugh. I am imagining me stopping dictating to to tell my children off for fighting or something and it all being typed up. Hope you are a good proof reader!
December 21st, 2012  
very nice portrait of you at work :)
