Speech Recognition review
After testing a little bit, I find that I can turn on dictation for my entire windows environment. I can now dictate directly into my movable type blog.
I have found some efficiency through using the speech recognition software. When working with excel, I find it is easier to use voice commands than it would be to use keyboard commands. It easier to say "bold" than it is to find control-B. This is mostly due to my tendency to push "control-V" when reaching for "control-B". It is much more difficult to accidentally say "paste" when you mean to say "bold".
I think they still need to do some work on the speech recognition software. Common windows tasks should be activated by voice commands. I would like to be able to say notepad, and have notepad open. I do not believe this is possible as it is currently installed. Once I have notpad open I can dictate directly into it.
Anyway, it is a learning experience. I will keep practicing and let you know what I learn.
