Dragon Voice Recognition Software

Dragon Naturally Speaking is produced by Nuance, and the current version is 12.
I recommend users to buy the Premium Edition, which is the most comprehensive.  You can buy from Nuance direct or from other sellers such as Amazon.

I advise you to buy the physical shipment rather than the download.  It can be used on 3 different computers, and comes with a headset and often a DVD with instructions.


There are other options such as "Dictate Anywhere" which is more expensive as it comes with a portable voice recorder for you to use where- ever you happen to be, and which can then be connected to your home computer on your return- a bit like a dictaphone.

Dragon is simply wonderful.  The ability to dictate in your normal speaking voice and watch your words being printed on screen with minimal mistakes is astonishing.  The accuracy is amazing, and it is also possible to use Dragon to control your entire computer using only your voice.  This feature is extremely liberating for those with physical disabilities.

Dragon learns to understand your voice very quickly and can be trained to accept new vocabulary. 
You can use it to dictate emails and documents, post to Facebook and even create spreadsheets.  Open and close programmes and manage files and photos!

Type at the speed of your thoughts and don't get bogged down by a keyboard!

You won't look back! 

I use Dragon myself and have several very happy clients using this technology and if more people knew how wonderful it was, they would use it too!

It's easy to learn, so do get in touch so I can help you!

Mrs PC and Team have a night out together!

We were all too busy to have a Christmas party, so somewhat belatedly, went out for the evening to Bravas Tapas Bar on Cotham Hill on Friday night.  The food was superb and we had a great evening!
In the picture you see Mrs PC, Myles, Helen and Adam.  We were sad that web designer Bob was unable to make the evening.
We are standing outside Cotham Hardware which still had a Christmas Tree in the window!
Bravas was closed for a big refurb during January but it was worth the wait!
