Hi – that’s a great review of Dragon! Did you know that if you share your Dragon video or Dragon user story, you could win an iPad2. Check out ‘I Speak Dragon’ on the Nuance UK site for more information. You’ll need to be quick though, because the competition closes on Nov 30. The comp is open to all UK Dragon NaturallySpeaking, Dragon Dictate and Dragon Mobile App users.

I don't have dyslexic but I have a speech impediment can I use this stuff . I haven't downloaded for my iPod and iPad but haven't used it yet

[Rhoddersproductions]

@tubeman25 hi, I think it depends on the type of speech impediment. I think so long as your speech impediment is consistent it should be able to get used to it. For example If you tend to to miss pronounce certain sounds wrong eg pronouncing "Ross" as "Woss". It might take a little more training but it will eventually get used to it. However I imagine something more varied such as a spammer would make it a lot more difficult. Be interested know how you get on. I have never used it on an ipad.

[tubeman25]

@Rhoddersproductions sometimes i have a hard time sayinf my s and p's but that was pretty much when i was younger. i have tried dragon dicate but i was having too many probs with it so I am going to get a refund on monday and my macspeech dicate should be arriving on monday. i got it used on amazon for 61 dollars and the retail is 200. i cant wait to try it out. i will send u a message of i think about it once i try it for a week or so

[tubeman25]

[xXkillerkeyXx]

thanks for the vid is rilly cleear and helpful i to suffer from the dislegser im 16 and going to colige so it will hopfaly help

sorry for the spelling

[Rhoddersproductions]

@xXkillerkeyXx Hi, no problem, Glad you found my video useful. When you start using speech recognition it's quite a difficult and strange skill to learn. It's not a miracle cure and it isn't for everyone but it is definitely helped me. I'm currently studying philosophy at university. I would not have got into university without speech recognition.

[gwreed4]

Great video demonstration!

[Rhoddersproductions]

Thanks, glad you liked it :)

[MauriceFlower]

Very, very good. Clear. Pedagogical.

It seems like you have good capabilities for teaching and selling.

[masterjakguy]

it is just alot harder

i am not

so idk

[reubenbridges]

Xcellent video

[brainfuzz]

Wow what a great video. I've been researching speech-to-text software for use in special education classrooms, and your little vid just puts it all in a nutshell. Thanks a lot for sharing your experiences with us all, especially your spiel about classroom applications :)

[Rhoddersproductions]

Thanks, glad you found it useful

[Spartacus516]

Awesome video! I'm a disabled man and have been using Dragon NaturallySpeaking for the past 10 years. I found your video to be an excellent overview of the product.

I'm also a member of the Massachusetts Assistive Technology Advisory Council.  At our last meeting, I was trying to impress upon the Council members that consumers often use YouTube to demonstrate how today's technology can meet one's disability needs. At the next meeting, I plan on using your video as a perfect example. Thanks!

[MauriceFlower]

Good luck! Yes, it's very, very well done. See also my other comment. If I had a company I probably would hire Rhodri!

[crocker5731]

Hi

I have dyslexic and cannot type or spell very well or read very well. I founded this as I can help me learn to read for $800 a day and I would need to go 5 days a week. If you condoning it it paid for I will go.

[Rhoddersproductions]

Sorry I don't under stand what you mean!

[Diddlesdee]

Thank you so much! I am a Mother of an eight year old boy who is also dyslexic/dyspraxic. I found this information great benefit! Keep up the great work! you are definatly showing the entrepreneurial traits of dyslexics (50% of millionaires in the UK are dyslexic and 80% of small businesses in the US are run by dyslexics) so keep up the good work!

[Rhoddersproductions]

[jman19mwi]

great job at your video I have a hard time writing sentences and spelling have a hard time reading through a book. I start using Dragon NaturallySpeaking this week. I wish I had this when I was in school.

[BrianNelson123]

Hi Rhodi, YOu did a great job. Enjoyed watching it. I was considering buying Naturally Speaking Dragon 9 Preferred Voice Recognition Software. Is it any good? Brian Nelson Houston, TX NelsonIdeas dot com 713-467-3025 How does Vista compare. I couldn't even see your mic. I liked your myths. Want me to make a website on dyslexia?

[gemmachapple]

what a brilliant video! I use this software with a Dyslexic pupil in school this is a marvellous resource to help train teachers.

Thanks Rhodders!

[Rhoddersproductions]

Thanks you very much! I am Glad my film was Useful. Where where is you school and where have you should my film?

Rhodders

[gemmachapple]

Im a SpLD teacher in a specialst independent school in Wimbledon. I read your about you in Dyslexia Contact sept 2007 and it had the link to your site. This video will raise awareness for teachers as we do training. Wonder if can put the video link on the BDA website and Dyslexia Action website and spread the word?

Gemma

[gemmachapple]

I haven't shown your film yet but would do within our school and possibly others in our area. We are based in Wimbledon. It really is a brilliant!

Gemma

[DaveCarvey]

[OtHaku]

Good video! Now, I'm totally in love with that software!!

[dbeau353]

'Your video is excellent! I think it should be a 10 star! Thanks for letting me learn about the computer and software' from my 7 year old son Daniel - he loved it, so good to have a positive role model! Brilliant!!

[ruofft]

Hello, I am a special educqtion teacher in Cincinnati, Ohio (in the US). Thanks for posting this video, I have gained insight into how to help some of my students who are struggling with reading. I appreciate your openness. Tiffeny

[Rhoddersproductions]

Thanks! im glad you liked it.(:

[Mentorcase]

@ruofft Well you have a special way of spelling "educqtion" anyway. LOL.

[youngeyboo]

Hi Rodders

I thought your video was brilliant and inspirational. I am a specialist teacher in Dyslexia (AMBDA) and provide courses for teachers and teaching assistants on Dyslexia. I would really appreciate it if you would allow me to use your video to illustrate speech recognition and exam concessions. If you could download a copy that would be brilliant. Will reimburse any costs. I'm fighting the cause! Hope to hear from you.

Thanks Judy

[Rhoddersproductions]

Thaks for your nice comment! I have sent you a message anbout you wanting a copy of it.

[GoldchainGirl]

[DyslexicDee]

Hi Rhodders
