Increase Productivity, Save Money – Dragon Naturally Speaking Coupon Code

September 28th, 2009

Dragon Naturally Speaking has been turning speech to text for a long time now. It should be no secret that you can talk faster than you can type. With just a little bit of training, Dragon Naturally Speaking can be a very accurate typist for you.

I have been suffering from carpal tunnel syndrome for a long time. Years of programming making high use of arrow keys, mousing through Windows and a little game playing can make typing without Advil an excruciating experience.

I finally said enough is enough and bought Dragon Naturally Speaking.

The standard version is enough for most people, but they have special editions if you are away from the office and want to dictate or happen to be an attorney and want to make use of the special legal vocabulary they include in that version.

Is it cheap, no, especially the preferred and professional version. But some professionals will save huge bucks on transcriptionists and those clunky machines they use to listen to your mumbling while turning your words into documents.

With these coupon codes, you can save some money on Dragon Naturally Speaking speech to text products.

With the economy in the toilet, you need to learn to be efficient. Try it out today, I think you will be glad you did.

Avoid Carpal Tunnel Syndrome – Talk to Your Computer

September 22nd, 2009

Anyone who has done a lot of typing, especially in non-ergonomic environments, probably has some knowledge of Carpal Tunnel Syndrome. What you feel in your forearms, wrists and hands can vary from slight annoyance to excruciating pain. Sometimes it feels like some kind of Chinese torture.

The way to avoid carpal tunnel syndrome can be to talk to your computer. Speech recognition software has been around for a long time, and has varied in accuracy. Heck, Windows Vista has a rudimentary software built in.

But if you really want to get serious about talking to your computer instead of typing and mousing on it, see the professionals. Dragon Naturally Speaking has been the industry leader for a long time, and they are now up to version 10.

Of course, you need a good headset to get it to work properly, so they include one in the box. Smart move. Why let bad hardware cause people to blame your software?

I use and highly recommend Dragon Naturally Speaking.

Ease Carpal Tunnel and Speed Up Your Typing

September 7th, 2008

Chances are that if you have been around computers, keyboards and mice as long as I have you may very well have some Carpal Tunnel Syndrome problems like I do.

Typing can just be painful sometimes. (Ever wonder why my posting is somewhat erratic?)

I have known about speech to text software for a long time; years ago I had a blind client who even had text reading software. But the results in the past have always been mediocre.

Better microphones (the software actually includes one), more sophisticated software and more horsepower in our computers is changing that. In fact, Dragon Naturally Speaking is now at version 10 and looking real good. (Save 10% on Dragon Naturally Speaking 10 Standard! Use coupon code DNSTD10)

The only downside I can see is that you have to either work in a private office or get over having someone else hearing what you are “typing”. Another way of looking at it is that others need to get over your “typing” being verbalized.

Even if you are not yet realizing health problems from excessive, repetitive keyboard and mouse work, don’t wait until you do.

There is another key benefit to using speech to text software like Dragon Naturally Speaking, and that is SPEED! No surprise there, you can talk faster than you type. And for the most part, the software can keep up with you.

Now that doesn’t mean you get to mumble or slur your words, shoot, using a product like this could even improve your speaking over time!

Dragon NaturallySpeaking 10 turns your voice into text three times faster than most people type with up to 99% accuracy!

Carpal Tunnel Syndrome

May 14th, 2007

Carpal Tunnel Syndrome, from repetitive computer activity. It’s painful. And it may not be the only problem brought about by working on a computer all day long. Tendinitis or Tennis elbow is another.

Exercises do help. But I read something I wanted to pass along.

The older one gets, the longer it takes for any problem to heal. Tendinitis is taking forever with me. According to a Stanford University Medical Center study, injecting your own blood platelets into the problem area seem to trick the body into thinking that it has to heal a wound and consequently sped up the healing process. In fact, after 8 weeks, subjects reported a 60% improvement opposed to a 16% improvement for those receiving a numbing shot.

If additional research pans out, perhaps this treatment will be available in a few years. Probably sooner outside the USA; hopefully, before I die… or, after I’ve finally healed!

I have gotten some help from an exercise program I bought. I probably would be better yet if I remembered to do the exercises regularly!
