Changing of the guard?

So now dragon naturally speaking no longer works in this incarnation with a 64 bit computer operating system. There is an upgrade but I haven’t yet gone through the process.

So what next? Does using windows 7 64 bit create more problems than solutions?
Well, not exactly. It seems that within windows seven there is a very good mechanism called “speech recognition.” OK, not exactly on the same level as dragon, but for simple dictation – as this paragraph that I am saying now—it might be just right.

The program allows for speech dictation and commands similar to the way dragon does to some degree. How precise is this, only time will tell. Will it improve with much training or does it have a certain glass ceiling beyond which it does not rise?

Again, time will tell. Or a google of this program would probably be informative.

Now let’s see if windows seven can actually blog.
