Below is a little video explaining it all and I hope you enjoy.
Here is the press release:
Drew of the BenSpark has put together a great little video demonstrating Dragon NaturallySpeaking. Drew has been blogging for quite some time and he might just be one of the best mobile bloggers that I know. He is probably more famous for his picture a day work as he is an excellent photographer. But I can’t help be amazed at how much content he creates and the high level of quality in that content.
He’s definitely a blogger that employs best practices when he finds them. And based on this video, it looks like he might see some potential in Dragon NaturallySpeaking. Now I am not trying to put an endorsement in Drew’s mouth. Time will tell, but I do think he is off to an excellent start.
You’ll notice in his video, that the sound quality of his video is excellent. That’s actually an important aspect for Dragon NaturallySpeaking. I don’t mean that you need good video quality or sound quality in a video to make Dragon NaturallySpeaking work. However you do need a good microphone, and it should be a noise canceling microphone at that. The better the sound quality, and the better able your microphone is to remove other background noises, the better your system will be able to recognize the words that you say as fast as you say them and transcribe them accurately.
Now Dragon NaturallySpeaking comes with a noise cancellation microphone that works very well when you buy it out of the box. Drew is working with a download version that does not come with a microphone, and so he had to supply his own.
As I write this article, I am using a wireless headset microphone from Logitech. I’ve been using Dragon NaturallySpeaking for almost two years now, but I’ve just recently untethered myself from Dragon NaturallySpeaking and started using a wireless headset microphone with noise cancellation capabilities. Dragon NaturallySpeaking 10 does have the capability of working with Bluetooth wireless microphones, but my particular microphone runs on 2.4 GHz wireless technology. Now if you live in a household or work in an office environment where there are a number of systems or phones or microwaves, you may experience some interference with this particular headset. In that case, you will probably be better served with either a Bluetooth headset or a headset that is capable of being plugged directly into your computer through the microphone plug or through USB. I don’t have that issue, and so I do get excellent quality with little to no interference at all.
So if you take an interest in Dragon NaturallySpeaking and want to try it for yourself, I highly recommend that you get a boxed version of the software which you can order from Nuance online. You can even get a good deal on a Bluetooth wireless headset and a bundled option from Nuance. If you’re looking for entry level pricing, you can start using the software and get a headset microphone for as little as $99.
To put that in context, I’ve taken three typing classes over the years to boost my typing speed and spent essentially three semesters practicing at typing. It wasn’t the only thing that I studied, but I spent a lot of time building up my typing skill. With Dragon NaturallySpeaking, you can invest $99, invest an hour installing the software (I’m being very conservative with that time estimate) and as little as 10 minutes training the software to recognize your voice before you can be off and running typing at 150 words per minute!
That is pretty amazing, and well worth the value of $99. Not to mention if you spend a little extra and get a wireless headset microphone, you can pace around your room or your office, you can exercise, or do a number of different things other than sit at a computer desk staring at your computer all day long. $99 basically gives you your freedom.

Did you go trick or treating tonight? There were some issues in northern New Jersey which is not great news. But here in NYC it was great. I didn’t go trick or treating because, well, because I outgrew it nearly a decade ago and I just don’t find it fun going from door to door asking for candy.
But my younger sister went out with her friend and got a big bag full of candy. I picked out some of the candies that I liked and I actually ate them all right after dinner. I do regret it a little bit but oh well, it was good. But now I have a sort of sugar rush and a little headache. Hopefully its fine by morning time.
From now to the end of the year, December 31st, 2008, you can purchase products such as Nikon Monarch and Trailblazer Binoculars and be able to get a $25 or a $50 gift card from Nikon Pro Gear. Imagine how much other stuff you can get with the $25 or the $50 gift card. And if you purchase it in time, you can even use those gift cards as a Christmas present.
Visit their web sites at NikonProGear.com or NikonHunting.com and check out all of their products. Buy a Nikon ATB Binocular before December 31st and get some money back through the gift card. And I personally think a Gift Card is the best present because the person can use it to buy whatever he or she wants.
Tomorrow my english class is cancelled for the second time this term and I am happy. This time it wasn’t because my professor’s car was broken into, but this time was because of some conference. I would like to think it was because of Halloween, but that isn’t the case.
We still have work to hand in tomorrow online which is a pain. And I completely forgot about that until just a few minutes ago and I guess I have to go work on that. So hope you guys have a pleasant halloween tomorrow and I will see you guys later!

It is past 12:00 AM Midnight for me and I would like to wish you a Happy Halloween. For those living in later timezones, happy early halloween to you guys. Hope you guys are ready to go out and get a whole bunch of candy.
I am not much of a trick or treater so that isn’t what I look forward to for halloween. I just love the sales on candies and I would rather go out and buy them and just eat them myself. Easier to go to one place for candy than a few dozen.

Earlier today I took a Office Access 2007 exam and I think I did pretty well. I double checked my work and hopefully I will get no less than a perfect score. Some of my last week class grades were disappointing and I definitely do not want to see that on my test.
The exam should be given back to me next thursday since there are no classes this coming tuesday due to it being election day. Hopefully I get a good grade otherwise I will have to work MUCh harder for the next three tests coming our way.

This is the last run for Both presidential candidates. Although there are other, these are the two big players and everyone has their eyes on these two. Now they are starting to criticize each other on their economic policies. McCain just started doing that? Wow, is my thought.
McCain should have been addressing the Economy much earlier and criticized Obama for that. Not that I want him to win, he just doesn’t know how to do it.
Instead of talking about Obama’s relation with William Ayers, he should have addressed what affected the people. Obama on the other hand is at a good place right now, he hasn’t been pointing out the stuff we don’t have to know about.
But only a few days before election, and I know who I am voting for, do you?
$99 basically gives you your freedom.
