Dana Buy to purchase my new computer and they seemed relatively reasonable here, but there is a lot of competition. I know you use Dragon NaturallySpeaking, so be careful if you are planning on purchasing a new computer. The Best Buy I went to only had two systems which were not 64-bit. They had the same speed as my old computer which just completely crash two weeks ago, so I know those systems could not possibly carry Vista with Dragon NaturallySpeaking simultaneously. I need up having to go with a system that had 3 GB of memory and a 32-bit system. In case you're wondering, I call Nuance and they had no idea when Dragon will be compatible with a 64-bit system. They told me it definitely wouldn't be this year and possibly not until late next year. This sounds strangely reminiscent of what happened with Vista the first time.

Re: [QUAD-L] Dragon with Vista
there is an inherent problem with running dragon on Vista and even some XP platforms where a speech engine already exists. Two just can't live together aside from the 64 and 32 bit awkwardness. Most of you have some ginormous hard drives. You can have Vista and XP by simply partitioning that big beast. Then have your old xp completely copied to your d-drive. I haven't actually seen this done for this purpose but I know gamers that insist it is will work. When I looked on the Web site I found that Dragon NaturallySpeaking ten is now available. I don't know if any of you have tried it, but I still think that there will be a problem with running two different speech engines from the same operating system. I'm sure for a lot of you running alternate operating systems on the same computer is nothing new. Some of you might feel it is more complicated and all I can say is, yes it is. You will get more from your computer and also have a chance to test microsofts vista and see if it really is that good. john - Original Message From: Steve Oldaker [EMAIL PROTECTED] To: Quadius [EMAIL PROTECTED]; [EMAIL PROTECTED] Cc: [EMAIL PROTECTED]; quad-list@eskimo.com Sent: Monday, October 13, 2008 9:07:34 AM Subject: RE: [QUAD-L] Dragon with Vista Quadius, Have you tried using Vista's Speech Recognition?

Re: [QUAD-L] Dragon with Vista
If you're hard drive is big enough you can do what John suggests. I am told it will work, but you need somebody that knows what they're doing in order to install Windows XP on a partition hard drive. I am not sure how you were able to install it on a 64-bit system, because when I tried it the software immediately told me it would not load. Asked for knowbrainer, I would suggest going to the forum and trying to pose a question. Make sure you articulate what's going on with your computer as much as possible. There are quite a few NaturallySpeaking aficionados that give out free advice.

Re: [QUAD-L] Dragon with Vista
Dana, I am sorry I didn't see this response earlier. You can write to the website I gave you, but I would suggest e-mailing them again. They have been really good about responding to my questions when I have purchase something from them and for that matter even when I have not. Your system is a 32-bit system based on the information you provided below. The only thing you should need is the NaturallySpeaking 9.5 upgrade. It's free if you have NaturallySpeaking 9. I had some problems a long time ago using NaturallySpeaking with a laptop. The majority of those problems were the result of the sound card. There is a USB POD which can help your microphone operate much more efficiently with a laptop. The best way he can know whether it's your soundcard or not is to listen to how your voice sounds when you have dictated. Let me know if you don't know how to do this and I will walk you through it. Quadius PS I'm speculating on a few things here, so don't hold me to everything I've said. On Sun, Oct 5, 2008 at 11:56 PM, [EMAIL PROTECTED] wrote:I would greatly appreciate anyone's help.

Re: [QUAD-L] Dragon with Vista
Yes I did Steve. I found it to be remarkably accurate and it does have the capability of surfing the web. I just didn't think it was good enough for me because it didn't have a good playback feature that I could find. Perhaps I didn't look hard enough, but I tried all of the help pages and just could not discover how to have the system play back what I said. I think for people that have not used Dragon or are not intricately linked with the program it is a really good system. I recommended it to my brother for short e-mails and and other correspondence. That's just my opinion. I was extraordinarily surprised at how accurate it was. I have become accustomed to dictating and then going back later and correcting my errors, if there are any. When I do that it's difficult to know what I said if I'm correcting it about 10 to 15 minutes later and I'm not able to listen to the playback mode.

Hi Tim, Others: My wife and I used one once when we were staying at a small, po-dunky motel in a particularly cool part of AZ. We froze most of the evening (it *was* below freezing outside) but then later we both woke up quite hot (or for me, overheated) around 2:00am.

Re: [QUAD-L] Radiator type space heater
Dear Tim, I use one and find it to be great on the coldest nights. The trick to getting the most from one is to use a small fan to push air past it or I turn on my ceiling fan on low so you feel no breeze, but air is moving. With it set on 600 watts and turned to 30 percent on the dial I still wake up and turn it down. During the day I turn on a box fan blowing through it and out my door into the rest of the place. I haven't used my furnace since 2000. Not sure it even works. I do have two of these type heaters and I'm comfy. The trick is to move air past them. john - Original Message From: Tim Syfert [EMAIL PROTECTED] To: quad-list@eskimo.com Sent: Monday, October 13, 2008 6:21:43 PM Subject: [QUAD-L] Radiator type space heater Was wondering if anyone here uses one of those electric oil-filled radiator space heaters in their bedroom, or else where, and what your opinion of it is for warming up a room?

Re: [QUAD-L] Radiator type space heater
Yes indeed, it *can* get very warm under an electric blanket. But, I'm in Boston and skimp on heat all winter with my thermostat to 50 or less at night. No problemo under my precious blankey, though. Even set to '2' (of 10), I'm comfy as the proverbial bug in a rug. Mmmm, even this time of year (with the heat still off) it feels great as the night temps dip towards that killing frost. I get warm all over just writing/thinking about settling in under it later tonight. bob quinn c5/c6 incomplete 8 years post From: Quadius [EMAIL PROTECTED] To: [EMAIL PROTECTED] Cc: quad-list@eskimo.com; [EMAIL PROTECTED] Sent: Monday, October 13, 2008 8:39:35 PM Subject: Re: [QUAD-L] Radiator type space heater I have one of those heaters sitting in my room, but I really haven't used it over the last two years. I have, on the other hand, used an electric blanket to warm up my bed, but I have discovered a leave electric blanket on, even on a very low setting, I overheat to easily. I found it better just to put quite a few blankets over me. Then again, I live in Florida and what I perceived to be cold is warm by everybody else's standards. At least when it comes to winter weather. I have often wondered how much electricity those heaters suck up. Personally I have not had those heaters warmed my room too well. Old-fashioned type used to do much better, but they are extremely dangerous. I always make sure that I have an appliance module on them so I can shut them off. Take care and stay warm everyone.

Re: [QUAD-L] Back Online
You might want to vote for someone that doesn't view the poor and disabled as society's dregs. A lot of people don't see why it is important. I live in a county where there is 11 different hospitals and yet, I can only go to one. Three of the hospitals no longer have ER's so don't think you can get your uninsured child in them. Since I stopped working, and I'm no longer able to pay $545 a month for health insurance, it has become apparent that I'm not welcome at medical facilities. In attempting to cut ten percent from doctors pay on medicare itr is obvious that people without health insurance are being denied quality health care. So, elect Mccain and sign your DNR like a real robopublican and keep not asking questions. If your just voting for someone not black, well, your hopeless anyway. john It isn't like our votes actually count anyway. If your rich, go ahead and vote for your money. - Original Message From: Quadius [EMAIL PROTECTED] To: Eric W Rudd [EMAIL PROTECTED] Cc: quad-list@eskimo.com Sent: Monday, October 13, 2008 9:34:06 PM Subject: Re: [QUAD-L] Back Online I'm not going to take the bait.
