Dictation and speech recognition on the OQO2

[MathProfJohnson]

I read a blog, can't remember which one, where a guy was using the speech recognition in Vista.

As anyone been successful using this program?

Any reason if would work better on the OQO2 than our UX?

I have tried it on the UX, it does work fine. I do not see why it would work better on the OQO, where did you get that impression a review ?

It wasn't that I thought it would work better on the OQO2, it was just that I hadn't noticed anyone gushing about it on here. Just wondered if I (or anyone else) would be just as pleased trying it out on the UX.

I think you will once you get it set up properly and learn all the commands.

Just thought I would add that I have a UX50 running XP and use Dragon Naturally Speaking 8.0 on it and it works great.

I have Dragon Naturally Speaking 9.0 on my work pc and had tried this initially on the UX.

My recommendation for a 512MB UX is Dragon 8.0 because it is much much faster.

For me the difference in speech recognition capability has not been a factor at all - despite the 9.0 being a larger program (large speech database ships with it).

8.0's DragonBar for some reason is a pain on start-up, moves other windows as it settles across the top of the screen THEN resizes to my chosen "floating" setting whereas 9.0's bar is floating straight away.
