Review of OmniPage Pro X 10 Complete package

EE-NUNN-SEE-AY-SHUN!!!

Advantages: Works pretty well
Disadvantages: You sound pretty dumb

...try out a copy of dragon naturally speaking 4 to see if it manages to live up to the hype. a copy will run you a touch under 70 notes, but i got my copy as part of one of those freebie cd's you get on the front of monthly pc mags. it was a full version, and as the programs that come on the disks with pc pro are normally pretty reliable, i decided to take the plunge. you need to have a microphone to make the package work, but it's relatively easy ...
...time as possible training dragon by reading out passages to it so that it can get to grips with your vocal inflections and accent, and this is always a bit of a drag, although the text you get with dragon is pretty interesting by itself, with excerpts from 2001, 3001 and dogbert's secret book of management. i did quite a bit from this latter text and it was all i could do to avoid laughing out loud (i'm actually exaggerating now, i mean you tell ...

Review of Dragon NaturallySpeaking Standard 7 Complete package

IBM Viavoice

Advantages: ease of use for people who have difficulty typing
Disadvantages: used in certain applications, may slow them down.

I have been using this product for one month now and must say, although being a bit sceptical to begin with; I am pleasantly surprised by the performance of the product. I have mild Arthritis and wanted to minimise my typing input. On receiving the product, there are clear installation guidelines to follow. Once installed you 'teach' the voice recognition model to recognise the way you pronounce certain words. This involves reading text into your ...
...text, or all of the text provided, obviously the more you are able to do the more accurate it will become. This is a straightforward process. The product claims that after a certain amount of usage you will not need to speak punctuation commands etc, I have not yet reached that stage of usage although, it is infact very easy to speak commands to the product. You are able to view a full list of commands necessary to make the usage more personalised, ...

Review of IBM ViaVoice Pro USB Edition 10 Complete package

Excellent photo manipulation

Advantages: Realtime fast manipulations, even on slower machines, excellent quality, lots of tools to get the effect you're looking for
Disadvantages: Needs combining with something like Adobe Photoshop for full photo editing

This package allows you to manipulate images. Resize, nudge, smudge and a variety of other manipulators are available which can be combined to manipulate images in a very convincing way. It is easy to get carried away, but if you're sensible with it it's very difficult to tell whther or not the image has been altered. This program doesn't allow you to replace colours or anything like that; you will need something like Adobe Photoshop for that, but ...

Each person must go through at least some of the training. Once a profile is set up, it can be backed up, restored, put on disc so it can be transferred to another computer or restored after a fresh install of Windows in case your computer dies on you (don't forget ...
