You are so thick. You do not go to a butchers to buy a bed! These forums
are not meant to be specifically designed for speech recognition
information. That is why no one replies to your posts because no one cares
in here. You just make a fool of yourself every time you try to prove your
own self-importance in here. It makes me laugh. Why don't you join
somewhere as the Knowbrainer forums and then you may get a better response
to your nonsense.
I know why you do not join. It is because the real experts in there would
tear you to shreds with the nonsense you come out with and you would not
have that feeling of self-importance being the conceited fellow you are.

That is because this is not a mainstream speech recognition forum you
dumbass! Most people in here think you are a raving lunatic with your
nonsense posts. That is why you do not get any response in here. It shows
you for the really, sad person you are. Still, if it keeps you happy and I
know you love talking to yourself, you are not doing any harm I suppose and
it keeps you away from mischief . :-)

No Mark, it is attributed to the fact that nobody is interested in speech
recognition within these forums because they are not specified for that
subject. Plain and simple. It is the same as if you want information on
motorcycles; you do not go to a greengrocer.
BTW, worldwide is all one word, not good, as you put it above. :-)

"reluntance" LOL! You are getting worse! I believe the word you were
looking for was reluctance. you should take that copy of Dragon Medical
back as it is not working properly LOL!
There is no such reluctance, only in here. Try looking in speech
recognition forums and you might get somewhere, but we all know why it is
you don't join any of them don't we? :-)

Have you ever asked yourself why that is? Just take a good long, hard look
at your own posts and then you might realise why that is. Why don't you try
boasting as you do in the relevant forums, not in here where nobody is
interested in what you say or your dictation examples.
Go to where it really matters and then you will be preaching to the choir.
Most everybody in those forums has been doing what you do for years. Your
dictation is not clever or unique. Only you think it is. :-)

Why don't you tell us something we don't know. Most people know that speech
recognition via dictation is much faster than typing. You do not need to be
a brain surgeon to know that.

"ans scribble with it"? There goes your 100% claim again on dictation :-)

I don't need to :-) I have DNS Professional 10.1+ Knowbrainer + WSR. I can
easily clock 150 words per minute if I want to and get around the computer
screen faster than you most probably.
I forgot, you don't have Knowbrainer do you? You are just using the
prehistoric commands that come with DNS. You are fairly limited there.
There are thousands of commands hardcoded within Knowbrainer that work in
conjunction with DNS that would give me a greater advantage over you in
getting around the computer. Still, you can't have everything :-).
Plus I have been given an ingenious macro whereas I can have DNS and WSR
both up on the screen at the same time and when I say 'Enable Dragon', the
Dragon microphone will wake up from 'off mode' while sending WSR into 'off
mode' and if I say 'Enable Windows Speech', the opposite will happen.
It means that I never need to have anybody turn on either application for me
from the 'off mode', I am completely independent. These are the sort of
macros and useful information I am acquiring from real experts in proper
speech recognition forums. From a disabled person's point of view, this is
extremely useful.
So despite what you say about the disabled community being in the minority,
there is a lot of work being done by big programmers out there specifically
with the disabled community in mind. Having said that, the same macros are
just as useful for the able-bodied person and so bringing all communities
together. When you think about it, it just makes more sense.
I can interact between the 2 applications so easily because I still say at
the moment, WSR with its 'Show Numbers' command, is faster around the
computer than Dragon is, even with the Knowbrainer commands. I have the
best of both worlds :-)
You will also be interested to know, there is a guy who is trying to develop
a 'Show Numbers' command for DNS. It is in the development stages now, but
it looks good and may be out with DNS 11 next year. I am in direct contact
with the programmer who is developing it. He has asked my advice on where
it would be useful and he has promised me a free copy of it when it becomes
refined. :-).
I told you DNS would love this command in their arsenal and now it looks
like it will be coming true. It should make DNS a lot faster around the
computer although I doubt if it will be on a par with the WSR version,
nevertheless it will definitely help :-)

Speed is very important to me and I am very fast now, not to mention very
accurate thanks to DNS, Knowbrainer and WSR. Not to mention the fact that I
have Windows 7, which I've not put onto my computer yet but I am readily
informed that WSR has vastly improved in this operating system. I will be
putting it onto my computer after Christmas :-).

If that is your aim, looks like you have a bit of catching up to do :-).

I beg to differ, there are a lot of people who already have, I being one of
them :-))
