I shall be very interested to read any replies to Ron’s query of Feb 8th about the use of Voice recog for deaf people. Very deaf myself, my hearing aid is not keeping up with my need. I could often communicate with my husband better if I could read what he was saying – there’s also the need to communicate with friends. How quickly can Dragon learn a new person’s speech? Must the microphone be really close to the speaker’s mouth or could it be placed to pick up speech from a small group? The experience of any deaf people would be invaluable and much appreciated.

I have a fairly neutral accent and I want to talk to a family member who is now very deaf indeed. Would a laptop and Dragon 8 be the answer. The most powerful hearing aid is now not keeping up with deteriorating hearing. Do you think all the family could use it? How quiet does the room have to be?
Thanks in advance for any help and advice.

Keep us posted on the progress! I bought this same software a few months ago because I have carpal tunnel, and am in school (lots of note-taking/paper writing).

I found that it was slow-going with all the medical terminology and ultimately I was spending too much time training the program instead of getting my work done. I’m going to play with it more when I get free time. But for now I’ve had to shelve it.

I hope it works well for you!

Drool. I’ve been thinking about getting something like that. I have a bit of a southern drawl, but I could make the extra effort to enunciate so that it might better understand my hick talk.

I speak slowly, but I type even slower. :)

Hey, that’s pretty cool! Sure, you can use my bit of blather.
