Title: Keyboard Death By Dragon Breath.
Post by: J888www on Tue, 13 July 2010, 04:02:10

Previous versions of a certain Nuance product merely produced a little stink.
Dragon Naturally Speaking 10.1 Pro; on the other hand, exhales quite toxic fumes.

I thought this thread was going to be about destroying a keyboard with a dragon's breath shotgun shell.

It doesn't work huh?  I need to try to install it and see if I can get it to work for a friend of mine who was having trouble with it.  Been putting it off cause I know it can tend to take a lot of time to get any results out of it.

I think he is saying that it DOES, in fact, work quite well. Well enough, even, to invoke visions of a keyboard-less future?

I have been tempted to try this, but apparently you must get the Pro version, the cheap one is missing a must-have feature (backing up the training you've done if I recall correctly.) Also you need a good mic, and preferably a USB dongle sound card for the mic input (avoids the problem of electrical noise in a way that no internal sound card can equal.)

All in all, not something to try on the cheap. If you want to evaluate the method you need to do it properly.
