Speech to text …. does it work yet?

Got an email advertisement about the Dragon NaturallySpeaking product the other day. Was wondering if it really worked as good as the ad claims.

Clipped from the ad —————–
Simply speak and Dragon NaturallySpeaking 10 Preferred automatically transcribes what you say up to 160 words a minute. It’s the fastest, most accurate way to work. Just look what you can accomplish at home, the office and even on the go:

* Create and edit documents and spreadsheets by voice
* Quickly send email and instant messages
* Quickly search the Web and your desktop by voice
* Format and correct text by voice
* Use a single voice command to insert blocks of text or graphics, like your name, title, logo and signature
* Easily proof your documents with dictation playback
* Dictate into a handheld recorder for automatic transcription later
* Enjoy 99+% accuracy – more accurate than the most skilled typists

Does it really work? Maybe I will give it a try ….

Ouch … It’ has been some time since my last update

The cold weather is taking a bite out of my game and I have not had the ability to practice or play with the advent of the year end holidays. I went out yesterday, after spending some time in the gym, and had some trouble getting the ball to go straight. I was saved from further mishap by a
phone call so I had to leave the range.

I have made some updates to the blog on the back end so I hope to provide more frequent updates in the future. Until then …

Review from Dad:
Fogo Rocket Rod Jet Cast Safe Fishing System
This product is pretty cool. It shoots pretty far and you don’t have fishing line issues that you have with regular fishing rods. It will definately be more excited to fish with Dad this summer. It’s very easy to handle that my 4 year old can do it by himself and its cool enough that even a 10 year old enjoys it and wants it.
