More Voice Helps
One of the best add-on products for Dragon Naturally Speaking is a software program
called KnowBrainer. This program adds literally hundreds of commands and macros to DNS. I have only scratched the surface of this program, but the relatively few features that I do use more than justify its price. For me, the greatest benefit from the program are its placement of the cursor at the end of the sentence on which I am working following a correction, and its automatic listing feature. Once I correct or replace a word using the “correct” command, or the “select” command, the cursor is returned to the end of my sentence, saving me the additional voice command of “go to end of line”. Whenever I am adding a numbered list to my dictation, I merely speak the “list” command followed by the applicable number, and the program automatically adds numerals and tabs for my listing. These are great time savers to me, and have greatly improved my enjoyment of DNS the past few years. KnowBrainer also operates the best listserv for DNS I have found, with lots of lawyers actively participating in the discussions.
