For years, voice recognition software has helped medical and legal professionals increase productivity and meet growing workplace demands. But as one blogger recently discovered, the technology has implications that reach beyond the professional realm.
In a recent post on The Social Robot, a social media and internet news blog, founder Kelsey Childress noted that voice recognition software can cut online content writing time in half and with 99 percent accuracy.
Childress recommends bloggers and reporters use Dragon NaturallySpeaking software, which interacts with the user’s PC just by talking. By speaking into a microphone, the software recognizes what the user says and how they say it. It can be used to dictate reports, send emails, surf the internet and more without touching the keyboard.
“The first time I used the software on a project, I wrote a 1,650-word article for a client in about an hour,” Childress wrote. “This included research and image search. Normally, an article of this size would have taken me about two to three hours.”
Childress said she uses Dragon NaturallySpeaking 10 for her digital dictation. However, Nuance Communications recently released an updated version 11 for home, professional and legal use. Both Dragon NatuallySpeaking 10 and 11 software can be found on AmericanDictation.com.

Thanks for mentioning me and my blog!
Relative speed of dictating over typing is definitely one of the big advantages for bloggers--thanks for the good article.
