If you usually have to write huge documents, if you type very slow, or if you want to improve your productivity to do more in less time, then you will find that it is easier to tell the computer those words you want to write using speech recognition software.
Dictation Pro requires you to have a good microphone to make the speech recognition easier and with fewer errors. After installing the application, you will have to complete some tutorials to train the computer to recognize your voice, your modulation, and your speaking style. Even more, this software can recognize correctly voices of several people, since several users can use it in the same computer due to its advanced speech recognition technology, adapting itself to each style.
Dictating to the computer will let you write documents in spite of their length, edit them with commands like cut, copy, paste, correcting spelling or mistyping, delete words or a whole sentence or paragraph; then you can save them in different formats such as MS Word, txt, and even pdf.
With a few simple voice commands you can insert hyperlinks, headers, footers, images, tables, and page breaks, among others, as well as change the type font, color and size, and to insert bullets or numbering.
You can "train" and thus improve the program by correcting misunderstood words; this way, the program ”learns” and it is not likely that it commits the same mistake again. In addition it will help you to know which words or commands you will need to practice to achieve a faster workflow.
