NEVER LET AN IMPORTANT IDEA SLIP:
I have been using Dragon software for the better part of ten years now. For the most part, I use it currently when I am on the road and when I am working with our dogs. On the road, as a volunteer driver, I sometimes clock 6000 km a month. A lot of that time, I am alone, returning after dropping a client or heading out to pick someone up. I use my voice-activated Sony digital recorder to dictate field notes, story ideas, and general information that is then transcribed when I return home or stop long enough to download the notes to my lap-top. I also use my recorder when I am out working in our kennel. We raise Newfoundland dogs and currently have 16 mature adults in the breeding rotation. Keeping track of breeding dates, medications, grooming, and training notes and ideas is quickly, easily, and efficinetly handled through my digital voice recorder and my Dragon software. Just the other day, my wife asked me when a particular *** was due to whelp and it took me less than a minute to access her records and actually play back to my wife the recording I made as I observed the mating.
With my digital voice recorder and my Dragon software, I never let an important idea slip: thank goodness for Dragon!
