Ease Carpal Tunnel and Speed Up Your Typing
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!
