The Dragon

The Dragon
I am testing out and older version of Dragon NaturallySpeaking on the laptop seems to be working OK. I guess I'm in business, its time kick out of a couple more blogs. This version of Dragon NaturallySpeaking has its share of problems but still got a better than typing. I am using it on the laptop. How convenient with that be to take this to school and knockoffs and blocks long sitting there waiting except the people would be wonder what the hell is 88 doing over there. That’s 88 words in just a few minutes how can be it. I just lost the computer for good now. Now for the real challenge figuring out what to talk about? My wife suggested I talk about the trials and tribulations of two people attending college at the same time and trying to work on homework and sharing one computer just wasn’t cutting it. So I thought I give the old Dragon NaturallySpeaking to try on the laptop before I got the bounce check. Actually I tried using Microsoft version of speech recognition but it was a disaster. I seem to run other things to say that it’s not like me. I guess all I need to do look around the room a little bit. Just one a lot of look around the office it will become obvious that there are two college students trying to work together in the same room on different projects at the same time. The office is paying the ultimate price, there are papers strewn everywhere, every time you look for something you have to shift and shuffle just to find anything. I haven’t seen the telephone in hours. I guess I’m grateful I don’t have a senior project due at 5 o’clock tomorrow night. But a 7 page paper is still plenty enough to keep me busy. I rack my brains on it all day and half the night. In some ways are still don’t know where I’m headed with the paper.
I really wish that I would have thought of this sooner. It doesn’t work nearly as good as my newer version but it works a hell a of a lot better than typing the old-fashioned way. I guess that’s my main reason why I don’t believe in texting. Text is a step backwards from typing and voice recognition is a step forward. I’m all for going forward. I suppose the more this Dragon NaturallySpeaking gets used to my voice the better will become. It hasn’t taken me that much time to get over 400 words under the paper, try that by texting. It’s getting late and I really want knock this out because six o’clock morning comes off awfully early. I guess I have some company behind because I hear her whining a little bit. She obviously wanted something to eat, so she made bee line to the food dish. By the way her name is Molly the Pom Weiler. She’s a Pomeranian on the outside a Rottweiler on the inside. I’m done.
