Dragon Naturally Speaking: The future of Speech Recognition

 

Dragon Naturally Speaking (DNS) is a speech recognition software and hardware package which types as we speak.

The cardinal idea behind developing such sort of technology was to assist people with disabilities in writing papers, composing emails, launching applications, browsing the web, etc. and this software was designed in order to recognize the voice of different individuals. DNS makes it easier to interact with a computer without manually using a keyboard or mouse. 

DNS is not just about identifying words and sentences, it is much more than that, it also works with syntax and context. As it is quite evident from the title that in this article, we will be discussing about the future of voice recognition and why are we saying that DNS is the future because it not only helps with writing but also it has text-to-speech feature which read the words aloud to help you proof and edit text.

Importance of Dragon Naturally Speaking:

Dragon is considered to be the first choice for people with physical disabilities. There are a few reasons why people choose Dragon over similar programs:

• Access: Dragon is quite moderately priced and can be found effortlessly at any software outlet and also it does not require any expensive hardware.

• Ease of use: Another feature of Dragon is that it rapidly learns the speaking pattern of different users, while improving its vocabulary, accuracy and speed.

• Minimal compatibility issues: It can easily perform over different browsers (chrome, Firefox, etc.) and platforms (Facebook, Instagram, etc.) with a very few problems.

• Customization: It can recognize the speech of different individuals that allows creation of a separate profile into one unit and it also helps in developing custom words and much more.

So lastly to sum up this topic we would like to discuss some positives and negatives of this technology:

• Dragon has got a wide range of features like web browsing, documentation and also it can spell words and it is one of my most favorite features of this technology.

• Further talking about the downsides of Dragon, careful proof-reading is still required with this as it produces random words while learning your voice and if someone is a decent typist, he or she might get irritated using this type of software for documentation.

• So here we can just conclude that DNS is not a program for everyone, it might help a few and not everyone can get comfortable using it.
