Speech Recognition Software

Speech recognition software is becoming one of the most popular and helpful types of computer software available.  As more and more people move into the internet age, speedy and accurate text input into a PC or a Mac is becoming more relevant than ever.

Bloggers, authors, journalists, hubbers, you name it, they'll be using it.

What started off in the imagination of a science fiction writer has become today's reality.  Slowly but surely speech recognition software has become better and more accurate, until today we have some truly amazing pieces of programming.

Who and Why

Who are the consumers in this market and why are they buying?

The range of people who will find this software useful is as wide and varied as the range of people who use personal computers (apart from children who won't have much need for it).

  • Those who want to speed up their text input - slow/poor typists or maybe just lazy typists
  • Those unable to type. Plainly, speech recognition software is an absolute Godsend for people who aren't able to type. It will open up entire new worlds of communication for countless thousands of people.


What To Look For

When buying speech recognition software you'll need to look out for a few basics...

  • What's the accuracy like?
  • What features does it have?
  • Can it obey commands and take dictation, or is it one or the other?
  • Are there regular, free updates?

Research, research, research.  That's the name of the game when buying.

You'll need to know what you need and where to get it.

Luckily Speech Recognition Software Reviews has all the answers.

Dragon Naturally Speaking

The strangely named, although the name is quite cool, Dragon Naturally Speaking, is far and ahead the best of its kind. That's pretty much the consensus all over the internet and everywhere else I've looked and from the people I've spoken to.

High accuracy, easy to use interface, and very competitively priced.

Don't take just my word for it, look at this Dragon Naturally Speaking 11 review
