Dragon Naturally Speaking: voice recognition software for blogging

Many of us spend huge amounts of time blogging by writing blog entries, posting blog entries, commenting on blog entries and researching possible blog entries.

Writing a well written blog entry takes a significant amount of the time for most entries. We need a tool that simplifies writing in your
blog. We need a tool that really does make the process of writing a new blog entry less time consuming.

Late last night, I found this potential bloggers angel. It is a program that uses the technology of voice recognition. Imagine a three paragraph blog with three sentences per paragraph only taking three to five minutes to create providing you actually have the knowledge upstairs and aren't researching it. You talk and the computer types what you say.

Dragon Naturally Speaking is a voice recognition software application that actually turns your dictation into text files. This voice recognition software does so much more.

Once installed, Dragon Naturally speaking enables you to turn your keystrokes into audio. We already know that you can just sit back and talk and Dragon N.S. will do the rest. My favorite feature is the command key settings. Any windows command that you program into memory allows you to bind a voice sound to that function! For example, you can say "writingup" and your PC will open up your default web browser and navigate to the address you put into memory earlier.

Anyone who obtains this voice recognition software or one just like it (do search for others besides Dragon) will have to train the application to recognise the different changes in your voice. This is done by reading different stories to the program before starting. The more you read to your fresh copy of Dragon Naturally Speaking, the more intelligent it gets. At the time of this post, I was talking as fast as I could while remaining clear and my voice recognition software kept up with no problem as long as I spoke clear.
