Is the title clear enough?

There's a Black Friday special on Dragon Natural 10 for $39.99. Normally $99.

For those of you that don't know, DNS is an article writers dream come true. Just talk and words appear. Want to rewrite PLR? Just read it and say back the paragraph in your own words (literally). The amount of time it saves is enormous and the recent versions are quite accurate.

Note: DNS 10 only works with computers from 2006+. If you're running an older one, it will not work. The specific thing to look for is a computer that is SSE2 enabled.

    Shame they're not doing the same deal in the UK - it's the equivalent of $80 here!

    Love Dragon NS, it's the only dictation software I use, and I've tried them all.

    I agree...dragon naturally speaking is a huge time saver once you get it trained. For those looking into this, expect to spend the first two months or so getting used to the software. If you are patient, then DNS will be a huge time saver for doing re-writes.

    I don't know anything about the cheap version though. I have the DNS law copy which is a professional version of DNS. I have heard that the cheap version is not as good but am not sure.

    I`ve tried using DNS to write articles, but I didn`t really enjoy the process. It feels more natural to type or handwrite a text for me. Add in the time to revise and correct the dicated text and I would say that writing is still the way to go. At least for me. I`ve seen quite a few threads where people talk about the great articles that they`ve "written" with DNS, so I must`ve done something wrong. Or I should`ve practised more.

    BTW, am I the only one who feels uncomfortable dictating a text? I feel more creative while writing a text. It feels as if there are certain parts of the brain activated that allow me to be more creative, more structured and associative. This doesn`t happen when I dictate a text. Who has experienced the flow-state while dictating a text?

    Yeah... I agree with you Watashimo. I find it tough to dictate... if I record "uncensored" thoughts, I'd have to get it transcribed because it'd be a bunch of jibberish

    I had DNS 9 up and running within 30 minutes with training included. I dictated 4 pages in Word (12pt font, single spacing) in about 30 minutes. All I had was an outline (very important) and I spoke from there. The results were 99% spot-on. The remaining 1% of errors were very minor to fix compared to the time it would have taken to write the full 6 pages (with errors still occurring).

    Training was important. And the more you use the software, the better it works.

    The only part it hinders production is when there are background sounds present (kids, TV, people talking). It tends to pick them up if your microphone is ultra sensitive.

    One thing I have noticed: My typing style and writing style are completely different. Getting used to dictating something you would normally write takes training as well.

    What is SSE2 anyway? The Amazon OS requirements list is:
    Supported Operating Systems: Windows Server 2000, Windows
    Server 2003, Windows XP SP2 or higher, Windows 2000 SP4 or
    higher, Windows Vista or Windows Vista SP1, 32-bit

    The requirements seem to suggest that much older puters would
    work.

      From Wikipedia...
      Streaming SIMD Extensions 2
      CPUs supporting SSE2
      AMD K8-based CPUs (Athlon 64, Sempron 64, Turion 64, etc)
      Intel NetBurst-based CPUs (Pentium 4, Xeon, Celeron, Celeron D, etc)
      Intel Pentium M and Celeron M
      Intel Core-based CPUs (Core Duo, Core Solo, etc)
      Intel Core 2-based CPUs (Core 2 Duo, Core 2 Quad, etc)
      Intel Atom
      Transmeta Efficeon
      VIA C7
      VIA Nano

      Notable IA-32 CPUs not supporting SSE2
      SSE2 is an extension of the IA-32 architecture. Therefore any architecture that does not support IA-32 does not support SSE2. x86-64 CPUs all implement IA-32, by definition. All known x86-64 CPUs also implement SSE2. Since IA-32 predates SSE2, early IA-32 CPUs did not implement it. SSE2 and the other SIMD instruction sets were intended primarily to improve CPU support for realtime graphics, notably gaming. A CPU that is not marketed for this purpose or that has an alternative SIMD instruction set has no need for SSE2.

      The following CPUs implemented IA-32 after SSE2 was developed, but did not implement SSE2:

      AMD CPUs prior to Athlon 64, including all Socket A-based CPUs
      Intel CPUs prior to Pentium 4
      Via C3
      Transmeta Crusoe

    Thanks for the tip, but I recently bought Dragon Naturally Speaking 9 off Ebay (for about $39, maybe more). I bought it after watching someone use it. So far, I'm a little discouraged with the amount of training I've done (about a half hour) and how many words of mine it gets wrong. I didn't think I was so hard to understand.

    I'm probably going to give it at least one more training session, then perhaps I'll dictate a post here and see what everyone thinks.

    So far my vision of dictating notes is not a reality.

    DNS is a piece of stinking ***** since those people do NOT support Vista64 and give really, really stupid reasons why they dont.

    I wonder how many people on Vista64 bought this...just to see it doesnt work. And there is no support except "Doh...we dont think that too many people use Vista64...therefore we dont support it" <- biggest nonsense ever.

      There are a number of programs that won't run on 64-bit Vista, but that's not necessarily the developer's fault. Maybe they haven't had time to create a version for that, or there is some other technical reason why they can't do it.

      If the box says it works on that OS when it really doesn't, that's another matter.

      Thanks for mentioning that, anyway, since it saves me the trouble of buying.

      I just checked, and for Vista, it says 32-bit, so I don't think there's anything to complain about. It's like Mac users who expect every PC program to have a Mac version.

        Initially, it was difficult for me to feel comfortable dictating articles, but the more I did it, the more the words flowed. When I first switched to composing on the computer rather than long form handwriting (in high school), that was a very difficult transition as well. Now, it feels unbelievably burdensome to write things out longhand! I think it's the same thing here - I just needed to get used to it.

          AnnE, if you have a laptop the analogue mic that comes with it will be hopeless. you need to get a USB mic with its own sound card. i got a plantronics dsp 550 and the difference compared to the bundled mic is tremendous.

    Been looking at something like this, but yes, my inner monologue comes out clearer when putting fingers to keys, I'm better able to mentally edit that way too. Although the time reduction of dictation does seem appealing. Might give it a go.
