You're right Tom ... the more you use it ... the better.  In fact THAT is the KEY to enjoying the program!   Lori Michaelson Age - 41 C4/5 complete quad, 26 years post Tucson, AZ   -------Original Message-------   From: tahouston Date: 10/25/05 18:38:02 To: Lori Michaelson Cc: quad-list@eskimo.com Subject: Re: [QUAD-L] RE: [QUAD] DragonDictate users:   I too am a one hand typist.  Sometimes I type, but most of the time I use my DragonDictate version 7.  The more you use it the more accurate it becomes.  In the beginning it was a hassle to have to stop and correct misspelled words, but then it moves along very efficiently.  The key is to talk naturally in complete sentences instead of a few words at a time.  Sometimes it is a convenience for me when opening and closing programs, surfing the net, in filling out forms.  Even if you have a dialect or a foreign accent, the program will adjust to your language skills and sounds.   Tom Houston C5-C6 ----- Original Message ----- From: Lori Michaelson To: Quad Sent: Tuesday, October 25, 2005 4:11 PM Subject: Re: [QUAD-L] RE: [QUAD] DragonDictate users: I have Dragon Naturally Speaking but rarely use it.  Not that it's a bad product.  I just don't have the time or patience to train it so it works effectively.  After typing for 28 yrs . it's hard to "speak" what you mean also.  I'm a one-handed typist too.   My husband always gets the latest versions, etc.   I really should use it more often.  I THINK a free trial is available for download but don't quote me on that.   Go to:   http://www.dragontalk.com/   Lori Michaelson Age - 41 C4/5 complete quad, 26 years post Tucson, AZ     -------Original Message-------   From: David K.

Don't forget to optimize nightly:-)   Just wondering-Peter 25yrs
