dragon dictation and CF
Has anyone tried to use Dragon dictation software to write CF code? I saw this video and it got my brain going. https://www.youtube.com/watch?feature=player_embeddedv=8SkdfdXWYaI My fingers are developing some numbness and I need to be pro-active.

Re: dragon dictation and CF
That program takes a lot of training to be able to recognize your voice and is frustrating to use during the learning period. Trying to program with dictation software would result in a huge decrease in productivity compared to a good keyboard with macro keys for all the common code, the benefit of code-completion features within the IDE, and the use to two fully functional hands. I think the technology is only suitable for programmers who cannot use their hands and work at home or in an quiet office with a door that can be closed. I didn't watch the video since it is 30min long. I assume the presenter has a higher opinion of voice recognition software than I do. I only spent a day using Dragon before giving up on it. -Mike Chabot On Fri, Mar 22, 2013 at 3:01 PM, Chad Gray cg...@careyweb.com wrote: Has anyone tried to use Dragon dictation software to write CF code?

RE: dragon dictation and CF
Yeah, I ditched dragon too, what a waste of time. And their sales people can't keep calling me every since... -Original Message- From: Mike Chabot [mailto:mcha...@gmail.com] Sent: March-22-13 2:44 PM To: cf-talk Subject: Re: dragon dictation and CF That program takes a lot of training to be able to recognize your voice and is frustrating to use during the learning period.

What you need is an Amanuensis[1]. I have a friend who's used one for many years. It's actually an awesome opportunity for someone to learn from the guru.
