Dragon NaturallySpeaking 7 Preferred is a great
way to increase output and productivity, since most
people can talk faster than they type. For example,
a relatively fast typist who can type 50 words per
minute will produce a 900-word document in 18
minutes. Using speech recognition software, a person
dictating 140-160 words per minute can produce the
same 900-word document in about 6 minutes –
one-third of the time. This does not include the
additional time users can save using voice commands
to open programs, navigate, and format by voice.
