295 - [Tr] Dragon Dictate 2.0 for Mac [Trailer]

[Trailer for Members Show] As an IT professional, and someone who spends too many hours in front of the computer each and every day, I have to admit to being a terrible typist. Answering e-mails, writing blog posts, creating show notes – all these tasks require a huge amount of typing. As a typical hunt and peck typist, I know that this process slows me down greatly. Wouldn't it be fantastic to just talk your computer and have your words translated automatically into nicely written text. Well you can, with Dragon Dictate 2.0 for Mac. Dragon Dictate is the premier application for speech recognition on the Mac. Previously known as MacSpeech, Dragon Dictate has been relaunched using the world-renowned Dragon speech recognition engine. With just a few minutes training, Dragon Dictate can take your spoken word and converted into perfectly formatted text. The speed and accuracy of Dragon Dictate is really amazing, and allows you to blast through any tasks that previously required typing, up to 3 times as fast. The speech recognition technology built into Dragon Dictate, also allows you to control your Mac and your applications. With hundreds of built-in commands and the ability to create your own custom commands, Dragon Dictate allows you to take full control of your overall computing experience, all by just using your voice.

Once we have the application installed, I demonstrate just how easy it is to dictate, navigate and correct your document using just your voice. The show also includes sections on commands, using Dragon Dictate with various applications, and even a section on using it with Mail.
