Shame on me for not updating my experience with Dragon since I first talked about using it. How many months ago was that? I know, there is no excuse.
Anyway, I have killed the Dragon. There are two reasons I have done this:
1. Since the diagnosis of Essential Tremors over Parkinson's, and because I'm on the proper medication, I don't need to dictate anymore. Usually I'm capable of typing myself. Thus the motivation ran out the door!
2. Dragon and Google do not get along. This past week I had SIL (son-in-law computer geek) remove Dragon. I still have the disk so can easily download the program again if need be. I had so many problems both with Google and Dragon while trying to use Dragon. Google finally won out!
I would not totally give Dragon the thumbs down. i know people that have/are using it and have no problem with it. For some reason that was not the case on my computer. I had it about 2 years ago, and stopped using it for the same problem - having problems with other programs. Things are peaceful now that Dragon has been put to sleep! I think they need to make some improvements in their program. Oh well, for now we're just humming along just fine without it.
Stay tuned for the next post - I should have some news to share on the medical front.
Until next time,

Well, here you are! And I am glad to know the Dragon is slain though I certainly agree..he doesn't breathe fire on everyone..only you. Heeeee.
ReplyDeleteI'm sorry that Dragon and Google are incompatible. I remember how excited you were when you began using it.

I was so hoping that Dragon would be the answer for you. I am sorry that it is not.
