On June 13, 2002, I was on the receiving end of a practical joke that went horribly wrong. I was pushed into a swimming pool and hit my head on the stairs and broke my neck in 2 places, at C-1 & C-5. In an instant, my life abruptly changed. The accident made me a prisoner in my own body, and I went...

I hate QWERTY. Like a lefty using ergonomically shaped right-handed scissors, the QWERTY layout was not made for me. Before 1985 I was a young hunt and pecker perfectly contented with clacking away on mothers type bar typewriter. But in the eighth grade I was reintroduced to QWERTY by Mr. Novak. A severe...

I use Dragon naturally speaking software on my iPhone as an app all the time. In fact, as I write this I am dictating right through Dragon.

Greetings: I have Dragon dictation installed on my I Pad. The reason Dragon is so valuable and necessary to me is, I am chronically dyslexic. Every time I write any correspondence I have great difficulty spelling. Spell check is helpful but many words that are corrected have the wrong meanings. I simply...

I began using Dragon Naturally Speaking in about 1998, learning it so I could teach the attorneys how to use it. Although we had some technical issues with equipment, we managed to make it work. In 2005, I was doing so much work analyzing and preparing summaries of medical records, discovery documents...

I first encountered Dragon when I had surgery on both hands within six months. I teach online classes and I'm a writer, so I had to continue, regardless of that handicap. I have a drawl, but not enough to use the Southern pronunciation feature. I'm also a lazy speaker, dropping my g's and...
