Aside from the obvious stumbling block of having to speak aloud with others around you (and using the microphone when others around you are speaking aloud), I'm rather convinced that speech to text software has now hit the point where the software is entirely useful. In the grand total of about 3 1/2 hours of training the software to my own voice, the software is now so accurate that the only mistakes I make our mistakes of word choice, sentence structure, etc.
I hope that if you currently have RSI, carpal tunnel, or any of the other problems that are associated with keyboarding/typing, you'll stumble across this blog and buy yourself a copy of Dragon naturally speaking. It costs less than many of the questionable hand devices that you will find on random websites or "as seen on TV" items, and it will reduce the number of keystrokes you use in a day by 95%.
If you've seen the rest of my blog, I think you'll realize that this is not an advertisement. I make no money if you buy this product, and excuse me if I'm a little bit hokey, but this is just so damn amazing.
And if you're wondering, this entire post was "typed" using this Dragon naturally speaking voice recognition software. I only had to make one correction, and I'm reasonably sure it is due to background noise made by another person in the room.
