How can Dragon
NaturallySpeaking Professional help people with disabilities?
For Those with Disabilities People with physical disabilities will
likely use speech
recognition for the rest of their lives. In
that circumstance it makes sense to
invest in the program that will help them be the
most productive and efficient.
Depending on the severity of the disability some
people would require the Professional version in order to fully control the
computer. But anyone who needs to reduce stress to their limbs will
greatly benefit from Dragon NaturallySpeaking Professional's ability to voice
control most any computer action.
The single most predominant benefit for using
Dragon NaturallySpeaking Professional is its ability to be customized through
macros. Any action that can be done with the keyboard can be reproduced
with a macro. Fortunately thousands of custom macros have been produced
into a set. The CompuTALK
Custom Macros are $195 for the set. Here
are more examples of the CompuTALK macro set.
Using the CompuTALK macrosgives a giant boost toward enabling people to use the computer
hands-free. The CompuTALK macros is a set of preprogrammed commands that help
people work faster. The easier-to-remember commands are also a giant step
toward helping people overcome frustration with using Dragon NaturallySpeaking.
The Professional Edition gives
users
the full capability of
Dragon NaturallySpeaking. The additional
features are tools that solve problems and improve
efficiency.
The Professional,
Medical and Legal Suites also come with
these features:
Delayed
Editing. This feature will save
the audio with the text file.One
may edit later or have support staff do
the editing. This is a huge time
savings. No longer do people need to do all their own editing.
Just dictate the text and have the support staff
review the document and edit it right in Microsoft Word!
Use of
Multiple Vocabularies.A user could have one vocabulary designed for
medicine and another vocabulary for personal use.A single user could also have various-sized vocabularies.
Roaming User. This allows users
to keep their user profile updated from any
networked computer. The profile could be
on a network drive or a single computer's
drive that is accessible to the other
computers.
Custom Macros. Though it is
mentioned above, I must stress again the
importance of custom macros. These
macros are easier to remember and they solve
problems. This is the main feature that
helps people use Dragon NaturallySpeaking with
success and satisfaction.
Specialty Vocabularies for Legal and
Medical Suites. These vocabularies
are optimized for their
specialties. Accuracy is
everything. The right vocabulary will do
the best job.
