Think it. Speak it. Create it Hands-Free.
Check this out. I've just bought the voice recognition software "MacSpeech Dictate" for Apple Mac ($200). Runs on the same technology that went into "Dragon Naturally Speaking" for PC (they recently did a deal, as I understand it).
Why have I bought it? Two reasons. Most important is I have Carpal Tunnel Syndrome in my hands/wrists/fingers - yeah, a repetitive strain injury from too much typing. I had it diagnosed a few years back - they put electric shocks into each finger - horrible experience. So with "Dictate" I don't need to type much. I can wander around my office dictating into the mic. while "Dictate" transcribes my words for me. It comes with a WiFi connector and Bluetooth as well.
It has its limitations. They claim "supports 13 different English dialects, provides near perfect accuracy of up to 99%". It's struggling with my Australian accent, I can tell you - even though I opted for the "Australian accent" version. "Up to 99% accurate" - definitely stretching it there. I find it makes quite a few mistakes.
But the best part is, I can get that all-important conversational tone into my writing. Don't know about you but that's what I'm striving for all the time. So I forgive "Dictate" its limitations.
This was written straight in to the comment box using "Dictate". I had to correct a few things - half of them my fault as I keep forgetting the commands.
Pretty cool eh?
Here's as it came out of the horse's mouth -
Pretty Kool Aid?
BTW - I nicked the title from Dictate. The original is "Think it, Speak it, Create it."
