My new software arrived in the mail on the Friday before Christmas. I decided to buy MacSpeech Dictate because my typing skills are not that good and I read some good posts about the latest in speech recognition.
Last month, I read an article on Pro-blogger by Jon about how speech recognition software is much better now and about how well it is working for him. I decided to give it a try and I ordered MacSpeech Dictate from Amazon.
I have many ideas for Siyensya using pictures, video and the traditional written post. But my problem is that I never learned to type and I just can’t seem to improve my typing skills. The ideas and creative flashes come very fast and I can’t take advantage of them because by the time I start typing, I’ve lost the ideas and focus. I don’t think I’ll ever be able to type very fast and actually, I don’t want to because of the possibility of getting a repetitive wrist injury.
This is my first post using the program. After going through a short process of voice training, the program seems to be working very well. I am impressed. MacSpeech types out everything I say, ever if I speak fast. I can see that this will be a new skill for me to learn – speaking out loud while trying to think ahead.
My goal, is to have three posts per week and to build up my website with lots of good content. MacSpeech will help me with this goal.
I can’t type worth a darn either, but I still prefer it to talking at something. If it helps you post more, than that’s a good thing. Let us know what you think after you’ve used it for awhile.

Yes, I will. I’m willing to give it some time to learn all the features. I’ll still type out some things like comments until I get it down.
