Welcome to the October 2005 Edition of the VR newsletter!

Profile of the Tablet PC User

21st Century Eloquence®, Inc. is continually on the lookout for new technology to improve workflow in all types of office environments.  Many years ago, our company was selling and supporting voice recognition software before that technology began to become very popular with those who have to compose lengthy reports and other documents in a faster and more affordable way.  Now, some of the new technologies we have added to our inventory are tablet PCs from Motion Computing®.  The tablet PCs offer the full power of a high performance PC or laptop yet with a total weight as low as 2.3 pounds.  With handwriting and voice recognition software added, the tablet becomes a powerful tool that can be used with or without keyboard or mouse.

Who is the best candidate for using a tablet PC?  The answer is actually very simple.  Anyone who needs completely mobile computing without sacrificing power or speed.  We have included a short list of some of our more common clients for tablet PCs but this list is far from complete.  Contact us today for more information on tablet PCs from motion computing, and find out if a tablet PC is right for you.

Who are the best candidates for Tablet PCs?

• Professionals who have to create reports
• Government workers who must complete lengthy paperwork or forms
• Attorneys creating legal briefs or client correspondence
• Students writing term papers or school projects
• Physicians dictating medical notes for patient charts
• Real estate agents making notes on property for sale
• Appraisers/Home Inspectors walking through a property to document findings
• Sales people dictating account notes on clients and prospects
• Instructors creating class material
• Tech support reps logging support calls
• Anyone suffering from any type or wrist/repetitive stress injury

The point here is that no matter what you do and no matter what you write, voice recognition software can help you do it better, faster and at a fraction of the cost you might be spending now. Adding a tablet PC to the list, just makes this process even easier than even the lightest laptop. We are convinced that one-day soon, voice recognition software and specifically voice on a tablet PC will be the accepted standard way we all create notes, forms and documents.

Tech Tips

• Want to find a command? Use the Command Browser. Say "Open Command Browser" or click Command Browser on the DragonBar Tools menu. You can search for any command in Dragon NaturallySpeaking, even custom commands that you have created.
  
• It is normal for words in the Results box to change sometimes while you are dictating. Dragon NaturallySpeaking may better recognize what you said after you complete a phrase or sentence.
  
• When you say a command, the border of the Results box turns blue to indicate that Dragon NaturallySpeaking understands what you said as a command and not dictation. The exceptions to this are commands such as "New-Line", "New-Paragraph", or "All-Caps", which you normally say in the process of dictating, without pausing.
  
• You can see a list of the last few recognition results. Say "View Recognition History" or click View Recognition History on the DragonBar Words menu.
  
• A good way to find out whether or not a word is in the active vocabulary is to type it in Vocabulary Editor (Say "Open Vocabulary Editor" or click View/Edit on the DragonBar Words menu). If the word appears in the list, it is already in the vocabulary; if it does not appear, you can click the Add button to add it.
  
• You can view only the words you added to the vocabulary by saying "Open Vocabulary Editor" or clicking View/Edit on the DragonBar Words menu and then selecting Show Custom Words Only from the Display list in the Vocabulary Editor.
  
• You can get help at any time by saying "Give Me Help".
  
• Say "What Can I Say?" to see a list of sample commands you can say in the current application you are using.
  
• Select the Show Extras check box on the View tab of the Options dialog box to display the Extras tools on the DragonBar when you first start Dragon NaturallySpeaking.
