Default Dragon Naturally Speaking

I thought about putting this post in the NSR forum, but this is definitely spine related. I've not been posting much because of new problems with my thoracic spine that had been very disabling for months now. Since my September trip with clients to Germany, I've essentially been shut in. I've been searching for ways that I can maintain functionality. One thing I've discovered is this computer program called Dragon naturally speaking. I'm now kicked back in the recliner speaking into a headset and watching my words appear in the post as if I were dictating them to a secretary. It takes a little getting used to but it's amazingly accurate from the start. As you use it, you teach it the words that use and the way you speak, so it gets more and more accurate.

For this entire message. I've only touched the keyboard once. (It had trouble with NSR.)

All the best,

Mark
