New Software Conversation
« on: November 10, 2006, 04:06:35 PM »
I was having a conversation with my girlfriend, and we were talking about computer speaking application. So the conversation went like this:
   Me:  Do you know of any software speaking applications that are out?
   Her: I know of one that I’ve used somewhat.
   Me:  What is it?
   Her: One program is Dragon Naturally Speaking.
   Me:  Where can I go to know more about this?
   Her: You can go here to learn more about it.
Do you guys know of any other speaking applications or anything?

Better be careful though, if you're too direct with commands they tend to frag up your disk hardcore.

I'm happy with the online demonstration (couldn't use the abbreviation "demo" for obvious reasons)
