SUMMARY

The discussion centers on the effectiveness of voice recognition software, specifically mentioning Dragon NaturallySpeaking. While one user expressed dissatisfaction due to frequent errors, another user affirmed that Dragon is generally regarded as the best option available, despite its limitations in recognizing speech at only 80 words per minute compared to the average speaking rate of over 200 words per minute. The consensus indicates that while Dragon requires significant training, it remains the leading choice in the market.

PREREQUISITES
  • Understanding of voice recognition technology
  • Familiarity with Dragon NaturallySpeaking software
  • Knowledge of speech training techniques
  • Awareness of speech recognition limitations
NEXT STEPS

Its been a while since I checked, but Dragon is generally considered to be about the best. It really requires some effort to train the software to understand you though.
 
Voice recognition overall has a long ways to go to be halfway useful. It requires a lot of training, and even then can only recognize so many wpm. Cosidering the average person speaks at over 200 wpm, and it will only recognize up to 80 wpm, it's not the best. But everything I've heared points to dragon as the best available. Take it or leave it:wink:
