A Dragon Comparison](https://www.mindwareconnections.com/blog/bid/79429/Can-I-Type-Faster-Than-I-Talk-A-Dragon-Comparison) Posted by [Julie Lughart](https://www.mindwareconnections.com/blog/author/julie-lughart) on Sun, Mar 25, 2012 Are you reluctant to use [Dragon Speech Recognition Software](https://www.mindwareconnections.com/speech-recognition-software-solutions-Rochester-Buffalo-Syracuse-Albany/) because you are a fast typist?   I know it’s a valid question, because I used to type 90 words a minute being a transcriptionist.  When Pam Gratzer first approached me about becoming a trainer for Dragon Products, I was very skeptical.  However, it does not take but a moment to discover just how powerful this software can be. Why?: - The words are spelled correctly in the software’s vocabulary, so you will not have a spelling error. - The software knows tense, and forms of words when spoken in a phrase. - You absolutely speak faster than you can type. - Thoughts flow more freely when you speak. - Typing all day can lead to carpal tunnel and/or pain in your hands and shoulders. - Shortcuts allow you to insert large amounts of repetitive information with one voice command. - Step-by-Step Commands allow quick voice commands to perform a multitude of keystrokes. - Spoken Forms condense what you speak, while giving you longer text in the written form. - Dragon Dictation Box allows the freedom to look at other windows while dictating. - Also, you can easily speak at 160 words per minute! Try this quick typing test, it will give you an idea of how much faster you can speak than type.
