June 28, 2016 - Leave a Comment

Dragon Professional 14 Article UPDATING June 29, 2019: It’s been 3 years since I used Dragon to speak naturally and dictate this post.

  • Nuance offers two versions of their voice software. Read this blog post comparing Dragon Professional vs Dragon Home 15.
  • UPDATE (Tue, Dec 10, 2019): By the way, I still use Dragon Professional 15 to blog and write things down – even though I type at 100+ WPM. The last post I dictated was this one about a free New Year’s Resolution writing activity.

If you’re going to buy Dragon NaturallySpeaking 13 premium, don’t pay full price. Sometimes, when you’re on the Nuance website, just as you’re about to leave, they will offer you a discount.

My computer transcribed what I wrote using speech-to-text software. Right now, I’m using Dragon NaturallySpeaking 13 with Windows 8.1 Pro. But, in a few months (on July 29, 2015) to be exact, my […]

Locking down your iPad in the classroom to a specific app (you can even set time limits)

May 14, 2015 - Leave a Comment

My daughter recently discovered Minecraft on the iPad. (She’s five years old and we’re a little bit late to the game, I know.) Who knew minecraft could be so much fun. A little bit too addictive for mommy, daddy and daughter. So, we need to set time limits. And the iPad guided access mode lets […]
