I don't even look at what is on the screen while I'm dictating. Dragon NaturallySpeaking comes with an active vocabulary of 30,000 words and a total vocabulary of 230,000 words. When Kelly finds it necessary to add a new word, he simply has to say it and spell it once. There's also the Vocabulary Builder tool, which searches documents for new words and adds them to the vocabulary if they are used frequently. Efficiency and Teamwork Kelly also finds Dragon NaturallySpeaking much more efficient than that old stand-by, the dictation machine.
Secretaries hate transcribing and it always seems to end up as the lowest priority.
Now Kelly and his secretary work as a team. I compose directly into the system, send the draft to Carmella and she inputs it into the correct letter or memo template. I review it, sign it and off it goes. We've been able to cut out the unnecessary transcription step, saving her time and my time. As Kelly sees it, a major barrier to creativity has been removed.
