Mark Conrad-the lying, cheating fradulent troll who is backpedalling for all his life!

"Mark Conrad" has serious issues with his backpedalling and an obvious need
to put the record straight. In his mind that is. Because now he has been
found out, he realises he needs to do something drastically to save face.
Sadly it is too late. The horse has already bolted as they say.

You see this is what happens to trolls when they get caught red-handed
cheating and lying on the WWW for everybody to plainly see.


They try desperately to blab their way out of it as this one above is doing
to deflect the truth away from the real lies actually undertaken by him.
Because he has been caught out, hook, line and sinker for everybody on the
WWW to see.


> Some of his lies are believed, by stupid people,


Now, he is insinuating that everybody in this newsgroup is stupid when it is
plain as day by looking back on Troll Conrad's posts that they are in fact a
pack of lies and anybody reading them can see this quite clearly. He so
desperately wants you to believe he is not lying because he realises what
utter nonsense, lying and cheating he has actually undertaken. It is now
suddenly dawned on him what a fool he has made himself look.

For anybody and budding psychologists You can definitely see a pattern and
that I have hit a nerve here. For his need to try and backpedal by
repeatedly in rabid fashion say that what he posted in black and white on
the WWW were not actual lies. So his constant rabid babbling in trying to
blame somebody else and trying to deflect his own lies on to somebody else
in a desperate bid that you will eventually believe that he was not lying.
He has not got the sense to realise that everybody can see that he is, now
that he has been caught out red-handed and the writing is on the wall for
everybody to see here on the WWW in this news group.

There he goes again ranting about lies. It is obviously bothering him and
has got to him because as you and any psychologist can see, the constant
babblings over his worries and guilt about being caught out show classic
signs here.


> This post does no one here any good, like Andy's

> I need to list Andy's lies.


More constant babblings about lies. More proof to anybody that his own guilt
is showing about his own real lies, cheating and bullshit as shown on the
WWW here in this news group. Everybody can see for themselves in his own
words, context and black and white.


His constant stuttering, repeated phrases about lies above are the obvious,
classic symptoms of the beginnings of a nervous breakdown. His above
repetitiveness does not need an expert psychologist to explain. I think we
all get the picture ;-).


> A Few of Andy's Lies -
> (none of these lies makes sense to a sane person)


Now he is in effect, calling all of us insane because as we all know now, I
am telling the truth and have exposed him with his lying cheating posts on
the WWW for everybody to see in black and white. This is a classic example
of somebody insane themselves expressing their opinion that everybody else
is insane.


> 1) Mark Conrad is a sales agent for Dragon


If you read between the lines, it is so obvious that he is. He masquerades
as a member of the medical profession in a Microsoft forum promoting the
most expensive version of Nuance's Dragon software that being 'Dragon
Medical' at $1600 a whack. But don't be fooled by this. He then mentions he
has every other version of the software and tries to promote that as well.
If that isn't an ulterior motive, then I don't know what is.

Then at every opportunity, he tries to put down WSR in a Microsoft forum
because he is afraid of something. Um, I wonder what that could be.


> 2) Mark Conrad actually claimed (NOT implied) that
> he, Mark Conrad, could dictate at 836 wpm


No, he did more than imply, he actually wanted you to believe that he did
dictate that. This is him trying to backpedal again. Look below and judge
yourself.


Under Mark Conrad's thread heading - '836 wpm with 100% accuracy, "typing
speed test" '

Quote- "836 wpm, my dictation speed with 100% accuracy,
according to Andy's test site below:

http://www.now1technologies.com/typetest

The results there are posted under my name
of Mark Conrad.

Now perhaps Andy will stop lying about me
being afraid to run that speed test,
at a site he himself selected." -End quote

Here he is quite clearly trying to pull the wool over everybody's eyes by
mentioning he has taken the test legitimately and clearly leading us to the
conclusion that he has dictated 836 wpm with 100% accuracy.

Later, in the same thread when I and a few other posters catch him out for
cheating, he quickly tries to backpedal and say he never said such a thing.


The site itself does everything for you. The test document for you to type
or dictate, is already there and contains ordinary English words you may
find in any normal dictionary along with punctuation and capitalisation. The
site also timed you itself for one minute so you do not even have to perform
this function.


Here is the link: http://www.now1technologies.com/typetest


He cheated in fact. All he did was copy and paste the test document into the
typing or dictating window several times over, instead of dictating it. And
THEN as shown above, he has the audacity to say now perhaps Andy will stop
lying about me being afraid to run that speed test, at a site he himself
selected.


He still has not taken that test again legitimately without cheating to this
day and signed his name to it, as I have done. If he did, this would then
prove once and for all if he could dictate in the 300s and be 100% accurate.
He won't of course and even if he did, who would believe him anyway because
we now know all he can do is cheat.


No Mark, it does not work that way. Dictating is a completely SEPARATE task
to copying and pasting.


Another Troll Conrad post under the same thread heading

Quote- "When that typing test site bestowed their highest
possible honor upon me <blush> by publishing
THEIR expertly calculated speed of my dictation,
namely 836 wpm with NO mistakes, then you
disowned their expert calculations of
how much I was able to dictate in 60 seconds."

You see, Andy, when they are dealing with very fast
people like me, 836 wpm, they realize that my
superior speed and intellect makes it EASY for me
to figure out what to do if I reach the end of their
test text, before the 60 seconds expires.

When I reach the end of the test text, I merely continue
starting from the beginning of the same test text."

The poor stupid thing actually believes that
a test DESIGNED FOR TYPISTS can be applied
to measuring Speech Recognition "Words Per Minute",
as in "836 wpm-End quote


Below is Troll Conrad trying to backpedal from his claims. In the same
thread.

Quote- "I never said I could do any such thing, it is just another one
of your many lies about me, like the time you posted that I
supposedly said I could dictate at 600 wpm.
You never did apologize to me about that 600 wpm lie, so I
do not expect you to apologize about this newer lie of yours,
namely claiming that I posted that I could dictate at 836 wpm" -End Quote


If you read the complete thread, you will see it is not a lie. It is all
there in his own words, in context and black and white. The poor sod has
dementia and forgets what he posts!


You will notice above in his last paragraph above, he is asking me to
apologise about the 600 wpm lie. Now look Under Conrad's thread title

> "Re: Speech Recognition (SR) at 600 wpm, possible?"


This is Conrad's own words in the first post, in context and in black and
white.


Quote- Back on subject, the 600 wpm issue

Recently I dictated some test words at 307.2 wpm,
with my usual 100% raw accuracy,

With practice, I _know_ I could get it up to 320 wpm.


Now my computer is not particularly fast, with a really
fast computer, it is quite conceivable that 600 wpm
could easily be handled by Dragon, provided you could
speak that fast. (a few people can)

....with 100% text accuracy," -End Quote


There you have it folks, Conrad quite clearly boasting he can dictate words
in the 300s in one minute AND get 100% accuracy with Dragon. CLEARLY A LIE
BECAUSE IT IS IMPOSSIBLE.


Below that, he is quite clearly saying and I quote: it is quite conceivable
that 600 wpm could easily be handled by Dragon, provided you could speak
that fast. (a few people can) with 100% text accuracy.


Conceivable (adjective) believable: possible to imagine, understand or
believe.


Quite clearly, he must have been off his head when he wrote that. Two lies
there back to back.

First lie. He is saying it is quite believable that Dragon could handle 600
words per minute.


Second lie. He is saying that 600 words per minute could not only be
handled by Dragon, but also would come out on screen with 100% text
accuracy. (I'll leave you to draw your own conclusions on those).


He also says, "a few people can". Meaning some people can speak 600 wpm.


He is referring to the fastest talking woman in the world. A lady by the
name of 'Fran Capo' who is in the Guinness book of records. She can speak
just over 600 wpm.


Unfortunately, to the human ear, what she is saying sounds like gobbledygook
and you would not be able to understand it. Nor would Dragon. It will not be
able to interpret her words as normal words and put them on the computer
screen as normal words and as for accuracy, forget it! There won't be any.


What they were using to check her words for accuracy was a much more
sophisticated, specialised machine called a 'Lexicon Compressor', NOT DRAGON
NATURALLYSPEAKING SPEECH RECOGNITION SOFTWARE.


For concrete proof to all what I have put above, look at the first link
below. She herself explains the machine I mention above, they used to test
her. For time, i.e. the minute, they use an 'Olympic Timer'. She mentions
that too.


The second link actually shows her taking the test. Now when you look at
this, if you can understand anything she says while taking this test, then
you are a better man than I.


Considering you have to speak CLEARLY AND CONCISELY for DNS to have ANY
chance of putting your words to screen accurately, as Dragon they and indeed
WSR advise in their own tutorials. Well, after you have watched both of
them, you can then draw your own conclusions.


I for one know that Dragon would have NO CHANCE. Conrad obviously thinks by
his own remarks above that Dragon would not only understand her, but also
bring out 100% text accuracy at that speed. As I have said before and I
stand by it now, Troll Conrad lives in a fantasyland along with Snow White
and Mary Poppins!

> 3) WSR is as good a SR app as Dragon


Another lie by Troll Conrad twisting my words because he has been found out
on the WWW as a lying cheating fraudulent Troll. Those words above I have
never ever put down anywhere. I defy anybody to find ANY of my posts where
I have stated those words in that context.


If you look under the thread title that Troll Conrad started:


>Re: Why speech recognition is unpopular with personal computer users<


You will see what I actually did say all in context about the two apps.


What I have said is, that both speech apps have their advantages and
disadvantages over each other and that is why I use both speech apps. I have
even admitted that Dragon is slightly more accurate than WSR on the
dictation side but much much slower on the command side than WSR.


I have even listed out in some of my posts, some of the other advantages and
disadvantages in great detail for everybody to see. Anybody can easily check
this out by typing in Troll Conrad's thread title above.


That is a completely and totally different statement to that of Troll
Conrad's above.


Below, is an excerpt from one of the posts in that thread where I pose a
level headed, sensible question and Troll Conrad is stumped for answers
(because he has none) and so he thinks up something else (which doesn't hold
up his argument anyway) which is totally irrelevant to my original question
anyway.

My question is within the arrows and his answer is within quotation marks.

"Oh yes indeed", but keep in mind that our toy computers
can easily become overwhelmed with too many apps,
even if those apps are on standby."


Basically, by saying "Oh yes indeed", he is agreeing with me but then tries
to deflect it with another follow-on statement that is totally irrelevant
and does not hold water anyway. This makes me further suspicious that he is
a salesperson from Nuance. Because even if you give him a perfectly,
sensible, commonsense argument and one he cannot possibly refute, he will go
out of his way to drag up some meaningless incorrect statement on a
completely different subject. Just so he can show WSR in a bad light.



> 4) Broken document scanning bug of WSR is trivial,
> does not really matter that it is broken


Again, I never ever said that either. Once again you can check this quite
easily. Tsk tsk Mark, is that the best you can do to win an argument and
maul my words? Pitiful.


What I did say and you can check this too in the same thread title as shown
below: it's a long thread, but it's there somewhere.


>Re: Why speech recognition is unpopular with personal computer users<


That is; I actually admitted the 'Reviewer' or 'Document Scanning Feature'
as Troll Conrad miss-informs everybody that it is called, does not work in
the base of 'speech properties' in the WSR integrated program that comes
with the operating system itself.


That is why a separate software package called the WSR toolkit was brought
on to the market for a miserly $15.99 for improving accuracy with dictation
and be able to make text and command macros within WSR. It does not contain
and I have never said it has a 'reviewer' within it. What I have said is
there are other features that work differently to a reviewer and when these
features are used in conjunction with each other, will improve your accuracy
for dictation up to 98 to 99%.


It is all there in that thread somewhere in black and white.



> 5) "WSR Toolkit" has a feature that completely
> replaces the broken document scanning
> of the WSR app', with the same speed, accuracy,
> and functionality


It has seven features actually, all of which I have explained about in the
same thread. All of which will improve accuracy and enable you to make text
and command macros. I have never ever said there is a reviewer in it though.
It works differently to what 'Dragon's Accuracy Center' does. He thinks it
works the same and that there is a reviewer within it. Further proof of him
****ing in the wind and guessing because he does not have the software.


Troll Conrad is still using the reviewer within the base application of WSR
itself. The one that I admitted did not work. He keeps feeding papers
through it in the hope that one day it will work. But it won't. That's how
insane he is.


He was offered a free copy of the WSR toolkit software to try, because he
has not got one. He refused it and still keeps bleating on about a reviewer
that does not exist, not working. So you must ask yourself two things here.
How would he know if the WSR toolkit works or not, improves accuracy or not,
if he does not own a copy? Secondly, by refusing a free copy, yes a FREE
copy of the software, what does that tell you? It tells me he is afraid to
try it because he knows it will work as it does for me.


This brings me even further to the conclusion that he is a salesman from
Nuance because he needs to complain about the competition and so he picks on
something like that, he knows does not work and has been told this, yet he
still complains about it. Any excuse to put the competition down.


> 6) Typing tests are an accurate way of
> determining dictation speed


Another Troll Conrad lie because a typist test is EXACTLY the right way to
compare a like-for-like comparison with dictation as an accurate way to
determining your speed in wpm. This, you can also read about in that thread
title.


A normal typist test is compared as a like-for-like comparison with
dictation speed. It is the ONLY way to compare accurately, dictation speed.
What else have they got to compare it with? To this day Troll Conrad has not
produced a shred of proof to the contrary. As I've also said many times in
that thread and others, even his own company compares like-for-like
dictation speed with a typist. Here is the proof below. Troll Conrad has no
proof as usual. Like all his wild claims, he makes it up as he goes along.

http://www.dragonvoicerecognition.co...ofessional.cfm


The reason he is saying that above, is because he cannot prove his
ridiculous claims of wpm counts. Also because he got found out cheating on
the typing/dictation speed test which he has since refused to take
legitimately because he knows he will get nowhere near his bullshit word
counts that he just copies and pastes and then says it is 100% accurate.



> 7) "I am not destructive" (referring to himself)


Another lie by Troll Conrad. I am not destructive. I am usually but meek and
mild but I am no shrinking violet either. I do not seek to antagonise or
defame anybody; I only retaliate to those who do. Troll Conrad is in that
category.


I feel I have done a good job and justice has been done in exposing this
Troll and all his wild claims and bullshit that he posts. Just because he
has an inferiority complex and an extreme need to feel important. Anybody
can look back on his posts and see his ridiculous boastful, conceited claims
are nothing but fantasy and in his sad little head.


> 8) The "general" topic of medical SR does not
> belong in this "general" Vista forum,


Well as you can see, this thread is not exactly *brimming* with answers
about speech recognition is it? In fact, if it were not for me correcting
the bullshit in the threads that his starts in here, he would have very few.


Indeed, I have noticed a few MVP's point out to him that his advertising and
off topic nonsense is irrelevant in this newsgroup and his answers have been
downright rude to them. You can see what I mean by reading through the
following thread started by Troll Conrad and titled as shown below:


"Re: Nuance (Dragon) acquires MacSpeech"


He fails to realise that speech recognition is a marginal technology and
that he would be better suited to go in a specialised news group that deals
with this subject. There is even one in these news groups. It is called
"microsoft.public.speech.desktop" and there are specialist Websites such as
the KnowBrainer and MSSpeech Forums for example.


The reason he will not go in and join useful Websites like these? Because
inside there are REAL EXPERTS. So straight away, his overwhelming need to
feel important and superior would be lost and they would not fall for his
silly, little, copying and pasting tests that he passes off for dictation in
there. Where they would, spot a bullshitting, lying, cheating Troll a mile
away.


On top of that, he comes up with little gems now and again as this one below
where he actually believes that 'tutu' is a homophone of 'to', 'too' or
'two'.


"Alphabetical order of these four homophones is
to too two tutu."


The sad deluded poor soul. Perhaps one should feel pity on one who cheats on
the WWW, gets caught red-handed for everybody on the Web to see. Then has
the front to come back in because he has forgotten that he ever posted it.


Either that, or this is a desperate attempt to backpedal and seek
forgiveness for his obvious bullshitting, cheating lies on the WWW for
everybody to see. In his own words, in his own context and in black and
white.


Tsk tsk. How low will this troll stoop to? I ask myself. ;-)
