Should You Use Dragon Speech Recognition Software to Write Your Online Articles

Some people like to write online articles the old fashioned manner, by typing them into a word processor program and so posting them online. This tedious process can take countless hours, but there is a solution to help speed things up. The solution is to use better computer interface software tools like speech recognition.

Indeed, I use voice recognition software for about 35% of the online articles that I create now. I have two systems one is comes with the Vista Operating system by Microsoft, the other is Dragon Naturally Speaking. Both are comparable and really it becomes a matter of preference really.


One great thing about using dragon 10.0 to voice dictate is that it forces you to carefully re-read and edit what you have written to search for small errors or misuses of words. This extra time in editing helps make more perfect articles.

When you write by typing it takes 3-4 times as long and you so often read right over any minor mistakes meaning you must have someone else edit and re-read it for you to find mistakes or slow yourself manner down causing you to use additional 2-3 units of time, so 3-4 plus 2-3 = 5-7 units of time.

While with Dragon 10.0 you will use 1 unit to write it and 2 units of time to carefully edit and then you are nonetheless at 3 units of time rather than 5-7. Meaning you are able to write far more articles spending 3/5ths the time or less. 60% of the time is 40% less time and that is at a minimum. It helps to save time, especially with people constantly complaining they don't have time to write more articles. Please think about this.
