But Pranav: a lot of people have recommended Dragon Naturally speak (though I pretty much normally operate PCs with fingers), suggesting that I can convert audio recordings of persons I interview instantly into text --which, come to think of it, is actually a dam good thing. But I often wondered if it is possible. Because I think Dragon doesn't recognise any and all voices and one needs to train the software to recognise the voices. So, is that suggestion entirely unworkable, or do you think by having Dragon+J-Say I can still convert my interviews into text? Subramani -----Orig

Hi, It is indeed possible to use Dragon NaturallySpeaking without J-Say. however, if you do not use J-Say, the following limitations apply. 1. You cannot control Jaws for Windows. So, you would still be using your hands to issue Jaws commands. 2. The training interface of Dragon NaturallySpeaking is not natively supported by Jaws for Windows. This means that the initial training that you need to-do before using Dragon NaturallySpeaking is going to be very difficult. 3. You cannot hear what you have dictated in real-time. That is, when J-Say is being used with Jaws for Windows and Dragon NaturallySpeaking, you can hear what you have dictated in real-time. This capability is not natively supported by Jaws for Windows. 4. There are several commands that J-Say has to facilitate the use of Microsoft Office and other applications. You can indeed get similar commands with Dragon NaturallySpeaking however, you will be subjected to excessive verbiage when those commands execute since, all they do is send various key presses to the computer. As regards the pricing, I have discussed this with Terry Clasper who is the chairman of T&T Consultancy who are the makers of J-Say. He did hint that he would be willing to reduce the price for the Indian market. However, we need to take specific action in this context like what has been done with Wayfinder Access.
