Nuance Dragon NaturallySpeaking 13 Premium vs Dragon Home / Professional 15 Review

September 29, 2020 - 9 Comments

Dragon Feature Matrix comparing Dragon NaturallySpeaking Premium vs Professional Individual - a key difference.

My buddy John isn’t much of a typist. He jokes about how bad he is, and he’s not wrong. John uses the “seek and destroy” method of two fingers, maybe three fingers per hand when he’s typing.

To end my misery, I let John use Dragon Professional Individual 15 on my laptop.

Moving to a new server: WPEngine WordPress hosting

March 21, 2018 - Leave a Comment

For the past few years, I’ve hosted this classroom technology website with SiteGround. Some nice features, but when I tried to have 25 students log into our class website (using buddypress), the website just crawled. Now, I’m trying WPEngine. It’s way more expensive for a class website, but on the other hand, it seems to work better with 25 students logging in at the same time.

Today, I migrated this classroom technology site over to WPEngine. We’ll see how things go.
