I began writing children’s and adult’s novels and freelance articles for online magazines in early 2006. Shortly thereafter, I found that I had developed Post Polio Syndrome, a slow recurrence of the dying nerves and muscle-weakness from polio as a child. When I was first introduced to Dragon...

In one of the school districts where I worked, I worked in small groups with individuals who needed to pass the speaking portion of the Test of English as a Foreign Language (TOEFL).

I use Dictate on my iPhone and on my iPad. What is most impressive, is that Dictate lives up to the promise of technology. Technology is supposed to make our lives easier.

I don't know where I'd be today without it. I have always enjoyed writing, but I will never forget the day that I saw dictation software at the local Radio Shack. I've always marveled at technology, but this was a revelation that I knew someday would be a reality for me. In 2004 I was at...

The Dragon NaturallySpeaking version 11.0 has truly been a tremendous help to me. I am a minister and must create documents of the equivalence of 13, 000 words per week. Last summer, I had a serious bicycle accident. I broke both arms; one wrist was crushed and required surgery. I could use neither hand...
