Now we are ready to do some dictation.

Click on that big Microphone icon and then click Allow .... Now start to speak exactly those words you would normally be typing.

Speak quite slowly and distinctly at first until you become more accustomed to it. Eventually you will become more proficient and produce accurate text.

Just like the I-Pad system you can say "New Line" and "New Paragraph" and your cursor will obey all your commands, moving down accordingly to the correct new position.

There are other useful features to explore, such as deleting text and the creation of bullet points for any listing you would like to add.

Use of the "file" tab, enables the saving of your creations through the "download as" tab to your computer, taking the form required you select in either Word or PDF.

It is a great facility, so easy to get that urgent blog or content written fast!


After all that, I seem to be Lost For Words


I hope this is of use to some of you out there

Have fun talking to your favourite Machine! I do.

Hi David;
I'm very excited that you have posted this really valuable voice-typing training here for us!
It's a Godsend to me, because I wear a soft neck brace while working, and 'hands-free' manouevres just hit the spot:)

As a bonus, you communicate so easily; thank you.

I want to say more, but I wonder if you can please see if we can get page 4 of your good lesson? Right now, it says "The requested source has not been published."

I think I could get along without it, but thought I'd better tell ya, nice fella!

Thank you for your kind words and comments
Good of you to point out the page 4 problem ... Very strange.
I am seeing your quote at the top of page four when I access the training from my profile page, although of course I can see all 4 as complete.
Rather a shame page 4 is supposed to have the key info item.
Will try to correct for you by a re-edit and re publish options
If unsuccessful will have to seek expert help
Will update you later via PM

Being blind Dragon is a tool that I have used to for years. but it's not overly expensive at least not the home version and I am an affiliate. $25 I think is the current sale price. My wife is a Health Care Administrator and she rates it 10. Lol I just asked her. The stuff she writes is generally more sophisticated than what most average people do and it serves her needs well.

because I am on my cell phone so much like right now I use the Google tool a lot but it requires a lot more work than Dragon.

I'll have to check my IBM store but I don't think Via Voice is still available.

Glad you have found something that helps you both.
Both Dragon "Naturally Speaking Home 13.0" and Via Voice are available from Amazon now.
Dragon is around £55 and Via Voice is about £50
