Brainstorming on scanning

[Richard Kreiss]

I just ran a preliminary test of Dragon NaturallySpeaking with Printwizard.
It allowed me to open a file, and then generate the PDF or verbally.

With this latest version of Dragon, we are getting closer to being able to
interact with our computer verbally. This kind of reminds me of when Scotty
was in San Francisco at a plastics plant and picked up a mouse thinking it
was a microphone so that he could dictate to the computer. Now here I sit
with an open mic, dictating to my computer.

I realize this type of interaction requires a private office. This is not
something you would want to use on your laptop awaiting for a flight or at
Starbucks. It would really annoy people listening to you talk to your
computer. Most people find it annoying listening to one's conversation a
cell phone.

As I mentioned previously, I have used Dragon to input information into
filepro I stacking the fields on the screen.
