Many years ago, I decided that I wanted to be a writer, and that is the job that I hold today. I love that each and every day that I get to express my creativity and share it with others. It has been one of the best decisions of my life.
For the last few weeks, I have been having problems with my hands and I have been unable to type for the entire day. I could blame it on my age, but after talking to my doctor, it seems that I am getting carpal tunnel and I will be progressively losing the use of my hands until I can get into surgery. The result of this is that I am getting less work done and getting paid less, and I was at the point where my lifestyle was at risk.
I asked my doctor for advice or if he had any suggestions as to what I could do. He told me that he had the same problem and he used dictation software for his computer. I was told that dictation software lets you speak to your computer and the computer types out what you say on the screen. I was really excited to try it out as I knew it would be the answer to my problems.
After the visit to the doctor, I went online and looked at Dragon Naturally Speaking reviews site that the doctor had suggested and after reading it, I decided that I had found what I was looking for. I ordered one right away, and waited impatiently for it to arrive at my home.
After using the software for the last couple of weeks, I can truly say that it was a blessing as I am now working just about as hard as I used to. I can consistently get over eighty percent of my work done in a day, and that has made my employer happy. Even after I recover from the carpal tunnel surgery that I will be having in a couple of weeks, I will continue to use the dictation software because I like it. Without a doubt, it has been one of the most useful pieces of software that I have ever used.
