Marquette, Ed <Ed.Marquette@...>
Been so long since I used it that I doubt it will work. I have not used it since JAWS 7. Plus, I don't think I have the materials any longer.

Of course, I'm not using J_Say any more.
Please check first, but I think that if you get the Preferred, you will
get to use what you paid as an upgrade to the Professional version.
Plus, once you are on the Nuance mailing list, you get contacted for
"special" deals, and I've known people who upgraded for a fraction of the
cost using a Nuance "special offer."

I would like to try the Dragon. Which version would be the one for my
purposes? Home, Preferred, or Professional and what version number? Would
be using it with MS Word and E Mail along with Jaws version 13.
Thanks, Tom

Hello:
Assuming you are installing this on your own machine and do not have to
worry about an information technology department's oppressive security
settings, everything should be pretty straightforward.
Sighted assistance is not necessary; however, it could be a comfort. You
will be asked to identify your sound system. Dragon will help, but you
should know something about your system.
Peter seems to have had good luck with the built in sound facility on his
laptop. I have never been able to get a built-in sound system on a
laptop
to work; however, I have used nothing but ThinkPad laptops for the past
15
years. They are good machines, but this is not my choice.
Be sure to position the headset microphone properly. It should be in
front of your mouth and about one inch away. A little variation doesn't
matter, but if you have a swivel boom and the microphone is on top of
your
head, the results will be disastrous.
You will be asked to check the volume of your sound system. In that step
of the installation, it really does not matter what you say. You can
recite a nursery rhyme.
In the next step in the installation, the sound systems quality is
checked. There, it is probably better to read what is on the screen.
For
this, you will need to use the JAWS cursor. The text is only about two
sentences. So, this is not a big deal.
By far, the most important thing to remember is to go through the
settings. You need to be sure that Dragon Naturally Speaking is running
out of the system tray.
Most of the other settings are a matter of personal preference, and for
many, the default settings work fine.
There is an option to turn on screen reader menus. Be sure that option
is
checked.
There is also a section to assign hotkeys. I do not particularly like
the
default hotkeys. I rarely use the "wake-up" and "go to sleep" commands.
I usually turn the microphone on and off with a hotkey, in my case, shift
plus F-11.
Where you encounter words that Dragon does not understand, be sure to
highlight the word or phrase. Then, say "correct that." This should
open
up a dialogue box. The first item in the dialog box is an edit box.
There, you can type in the correct spelling of the word that Dragon
messed
up. If you hit tab on the edit box, you will be presented with a list of
choices. You can arrow down to the proper choice and hit enter, or you
can simply say "choose one" or "choose three" or whatever the item you
want to select is listed as.
I like to use the list when it works; however, for strange proper names,
Dragon probably won't be able to suggest anything helpful. Then, when
you
type in the word, you can either just press enter or preferably, you
should tab over to training. To start training, say the word, and then
press on the "done" button.
Dragon will remember your word, even if it is a really strange one.
Remember, you can get help. Probably the easiest to remember is, "what
can I say." I think you can also say "show me a list of commands" or
"show me help."
Use the Jaws task switching key, shift plus F-10. The Dragon Side-Bar
will show up. You can also just say "Dragon Side Bar," and that will
bring it up. I know because while I was dictating it just now, I
triggered the Dragon Side Bar.
The help facility is a kind of HTML display, and it works very well with
Jaws.
I am sure others will have additional tips, but this should get you
started.
By the way, I dictated this using Dragon Naturally Speaking.

So, Just got Dragon for my birthday, Love my mom, and I'm geting it
out of the box. Just 2 questions. 1, do I need sighted help to instal
it with JFWS? and 2 is there anything I should know like anything to
charge or conect first, anything at all that could effect the
instalation? Doing it on my laptop because the desktop is geting
fixed. Thank you all and, seems real impresive what Dragon can do,
this will be great.

Hi, I would suggest people try their onboard soundcards before going out
and
buying new ones as most laptops these days use either Intel or Realtek
audio
cards which have certainly worked fine for me. The headset is the main
thing. I'm not sure what mine is but if I find out I'll pass it on. It
works
amazingly well out of the box. If you've got an Iphone you can even use
that
as the microphone and that works very well also.

Ed,
Very impressive! If I ever start getting arthritis, I'll consider this
seriously.

Hello everyone:
This message is being dictated using Dragon Naturally Speaking. I
promised
everyone that I would post a message as soon as I had fully installed
Dragon
Naturally Speaking.
I did absolutely no training. This is version 11.5, and I am amazed
with
its accuracy. In fact, I am dictating this e-mail message using
Naturally
Speaking.
Here are some tips:
first, if you are using a laptop, your built in sound card is probably
an
adequate. I would encourage you to use a USB sound card.
Second, in order to keep the Dragon Toolbar out of the way, under
"options,"
be sure to put Naturally Speaking in the system tray.
Third, under Options, be sure to go to the hotkeys tab. There, create a
set
of hotkeys that makes sense to you.
For those of you who are looking for a dictation solution, I highly
recommend Dragon Naturally Speaking.
Just so you know, I made absolutely no edits to this e-mail message.
