First impressions of NaturallySpeaking 5

Last Updated on September 30, 2010 by Dave Farquhar

I am dictating to this with NaturallySpeaking. I still have that cheap ESS sound card in my system, but thanks to the aftermarket noise canceling microphone I am getting decent results. I will install the new Sound Blaster when I get time. I only had to make one correction on this post, which is a tremendous improvement over my previous experiences with voice recognition (and I have some, dating back to 1996, since I was one of the 12 people who actually bought OS/2 Warp 4, which included a predecessor to ViaVoice).
The speed is pretty good on my Celeron-400. NaturallySpeaking doesn’t know that word.
