Working It

I am so really bad at typing! Take a look at my very dismal performance when I took the Dragon’s typing speed test!

Yikes! My typing skills never did really improve since I got a grade of 79 in my high school Typing class. However, I never really saw the need to be able to type more quickly or accurately, not until I started working as an executive assistant and realized how much time (usually, hours!) I spent poring over the dictations of my boss or transcribing the recordings of various meetings in order to come up with a decent memo or report. More often than not, and to the constant ire of my boss, my transcriptions are not as accurate as it should be.

If only I’d have heard of the Dragon Naturally Speaking software back then, everything would have been so much easier! You can actually create documents and emails three times faster and with 99% accuracy with this speech recognition software. What’s more, with this program, you can even control your PC just by talking to it! It works with most Windows programs like Microsoft Word, Microsoft Internet Explorer, and even AOL so, for PC users like me, that’s pretty excellent! Mac users? Not to worry, they also have the MacSpeech Dictate, their premier speech recognition solution for the Macintosh.
