Hi, I don't speak for T&T, the manufacturer/producer of J-Say, but I've just
ordered J-Tools Dictate at £45 from them.
As I understand it, J-Say is designed to work with Dragon Pro and to give
virtually full voice control of the computer as well as use of Dragon Pro.
J-Tools Dictate is buried in J-Tools and works with either Dragon Pro or
preferred, the latter being the cheaper Dragon product.
J-Tools currently comes in at £45 exc VAT (our equivalent of sales tax at
17.5%), and gives the ability to use either flavour of Dragon, including
training the program and using the corrections feature. I would suggest you
visit
http://www.tandt-consultancy.com/pages/j-tools_information.php
I'm sure T&T will answer any questions that you may have as I found them
extremely helpful.
Please be aware, it looks like J-Tools is specific about which versions of
JFW and Dragon it wants and there are also recommendations re sound card,
although I understand they have a USB plug in box for £40 - £50ish that
generally overcomes any probs.
I haven't started using this software yet as I'm awaiting a new laptop but
the feedback has been good on their users' list (you can sign up on the
J-Say page of their site), and, as I said, I found the folks I talked to at
T&T very helpful.
All the best,
Barry G

Subject: [JAWS-Users] Jaws and dragon Naturally speaking
Dear List
I am about to do some extensive research .
I had anticipated transcribing interviews into potentially large documents
which can be 30-50 pages long.
I use Jaws 11 and am a reasonably proficient touch typist but nevertheless
this this is likely to be an onerous task.
I had considered using Dragon Naturally Speaking as an alternative.
Realistically I could not expect it to recognise the voices of my
interviewees but have considered simply listening to the interviews via
earphones and dictating the recording back into DNS myself.
I am not sure how feasible it is to use dragon Naturally speaking with Jaws
in this way. More particularly would there be a problem with the training
of my voice recognition for the program? Presumably this is the only hurdle
that really needs to be overcome? Dragon can be bought I see for quite
reasonable cost. I have seen it advertised for about £40. I investigated
the J-Say scripts to work with Jaws and there the combined dragon J-Say
scripts package, in contrast, is horrifically expensive at over $800.
My question is do I really need this expensive add on to work DNS with Jaws
11?
I am a reasonably proficient Jaws user and would be happy to use things like
the Jaws Cursor to read necessary parts of the program.
Thanks for any assistance.
David Griffith
