Page 1: Why Dragon Naturally Speaking

Or How I got back 12 hours a month and

learned to love the computer again

Page 2: Why Dragon Naturally Speaking

• I have to create one 9 page report a month

• I give advice via email once or twice a day

• I answer lots of various emails every day

• I have learned to not love my computer anymore

Page 3: Why Dragon Naturally Speaking

• Dragon took me 15 hours to get good at it.

• It was faster than typing after 1 hour.

• You still have to insert punctuation and still speak

punctuation in. You get over that quickly.

• I would never use it for anything but emails and

reports.

Page 4: Why Dragon Naturally Speaking

• My 9 page report is now 12 pages and I complete it

in 40% of the time.

• I only use Dragon on emails longer than a page to

reply but what a time saver when I do.

• It frees up my mind to think more as I type. This is the

biggest benefit so far.

• I really do save 12 hours a month of typing every

month, sometimes more.

• You really do save time from the start.

• You easily save 40% on anything longer than a

page of text and the longer it is, the more you will

save.

• I really do have 12 hours a month of time I did not

used to have.

• NOTHING I have ever added as an app, tool,

upgrade or whatever made as big an impact
