the fun of Dragon

I am writing this post using the speech recognition program Dragon. Dragon is a useful program for dictating to your computer. However it sometimes struggles to recognise the words I'm using. There are times when I have too retrain so that it understands what I am saying and translates it correctly. This can be a frustrating process, often I can type what I'm dictating quicker than the computer can understand it.

The program has its uses though. It is quite handy in situations where you can't type.I can sit laptop on a chair in front of me a metre away (this is as far as the cord for the headset stretchers)and still put this post together. If I were not hindered by the cord I could walk around the room and dictate.I do not need to wear my hands out typing, all I need to do is talk. This makes it so much easier to put documents together.
