Re: Dragon NaturallySpeaking

My ex and I used to spend hours dictating & laughing. It was better than madlibs, and much funnier than anything we could've come up with on our own! In fact, at some time during the past year I tried looking for my old speech-to-text program to play around with, but no luck. But I never saw it come as close as it did after Judity's second try. Interesting...

I thought I'd try out my old Dragon NaturallySpeaking 7.3 which I
haven't used in ages. After finding and dusting off the microphone, I
dictated the paragraph below. It's the first one in my new third
novel, "Home of the Green Dolphin."

***Mitchell Whiting stood on the rolling deck of his ship, muscular
arms akimbo, staring out at the raging sea. �His long, supple legs
acted like springs, keeping him balanced, seemingly without conscious
effort. Despite the storm swirling around him, his thoughts were miles
and years away. �***

Here is what came out. �Not even close:

***Mitchell waiting to do it on the rolling debt of the ship, muscular
arms akimbo, staring out at the agency. �It has long, the couple legs
acted like a pretty good, Gish did big embellished, the seemingly
without Clinton and the period. �To bite the dog swirling around him,
you thought you were miles in years away. ***

Okay, I'm told I still have a slight Bostonian accent, but I spoke
slowly and clearly. Has anyone tried a newer version of Dragon, and is
it any better? Since this laptop still has sticky O key and space bar,
I figured I might try speaking instead of typing for a bit.
