Let me give you a short background story.

How I Started With Google Dictation, and Then Switched to Dragon Naturally Speaking Now please read on if you want to learn more about my journey with dictation and how I learned to do it better.Ģ.

But the app lacks advanced voice commands, and it only lets you dictate within the Google Docs itself, which is a bit annoying. It works in over 50 different languages, so it is excellent if you’re multi-lingual.Google Voice is a free solution that’s perfect if you’re just starting with dictation and want to call people all around the world.It’s perfect for serious professionals who want to up their productivity and improve the ergonomics of their workplace. It also has dozens of voice commands that allow you to work in hands-free mode.It works only in English but has 99% voice recognition capability out of the box (unless you speak with an exotic accent).Nuance Dragon is a paid but higher-quality dictation software.Now I’m happy to tell you which one is best for everyday use.ġ. I’ve been using both of these apps for a long time. Since you’re here, you must be wondering about the main differences between Dragon Naturally Speaking vs. If you know what I mean.Are you tired of pounding your fingers on a keyboard?Īre you looking for a way to use dictation (speech-to-text) to maximize your productivity? it certainly makes me want to drink a lot more, just to whet my throat. Maybe it will save me from getting carpal tunnel or maybe I'll develop a vocal module instead. At present, I find that the speed is about three quarters of typing speed and I often need to make corrections to the output. It's very interesting to use as speech recognition program after spending so many years typing. You'd still be taking advantage of the opportunity to be creative or driving without adding in the danger of trying to edit while you go. If you really wanted to take advantage of the extra time during a drive you could use their voice recorder and then use NaturallySpeaking to transcribe the results afterwards. one feature that might be useful, though, is the ability of NaturallySpeaking to transcribe audio recordings. there are a lot of occasions where you need to edit the output from the program and if you are driving, this might not be the best thing. I think it could be suitable for your long drive but there's a definite learning curve for the software (and you) before it correctly understands every word you say.


I am using it to put this comment now and I will leave the results unedited. Actually I just installed the software on my computer.
