More About Dragon Naturally Speaking

This article is a must read. If you have ever had students who could not type or type fast enough to complete an assignment in a reasonable amount of time, then this is the program that you should think about investing in for your classroom. This is technology that I use with my students as well as myself. Once the basics are learned, you will never want to type again. This program will walk you through enrollment by setting up a profile that is unique to your accent and then carry you through a step by step tutorial program that will leave you knowing how to navigate the toolbar to achieve great results. The thing that I like best about this program is that you can use it for ANY thing that you would have used the keyboard for.

Learning enhanced with naturally speaking

I chose an exemplar on Dragon Naturally Speaking Software because I wanted to show the transition from keyboarding to speaking. Dragon Naturally Speaking is the software, but the actual course is referred to as Speech Recognition. In this transition, students learn to speak the application processes that they once typed. The keyboard is almost obsolete. There are great advantages to using this program. To mention a few: It is faster than keying, it is easy to learn, you can dictate text and use voice commands, it is great for anyone who has a speech impairment or disability, it adapts your specific profile and accent through a neural net speech engine to learn your speech language and last but not least, it eliminates the chance of getting carpal tunnel syndrome or any repetitive strain injuries. I have included a quick video with this exemplar that allows you to hear and explore the greatness of naturally speaking software. So, go ahead, try it out for yourself.
