    Useful & practical
  

*by M***W on Reviewed in the United States 🇺🇸 on April 1, 2018*

A useful guide which helped me decide which version to purchase and to set up Parallels on my desktop to be able to run the non-Mac version. I have not been able to train my dragon anywhere to the levels the author has but at least I got the dictation software to work in a passible solution which I probably would not have managed without this book. NOTE: many authors claim they write much faster using dictation. I do not agree. Thne actual dictation is much faster but the correction time I need (even now that I have used it for 4 movels) ends up making the total time close to the amount it would have taken to type every word. But at least I spend less time tapping the keyboard which was the idea, and I spend a few hours walking while dictating rather than sitting around.

    Taming Your Dragon is Excellent!
  

*by K***R on Reviewed in the United States 🇺🇸 on April 19, 2019*

I have been playing around with Dragon Naturally Speaking for about 20 years. Yes, "playing around" is a fairly accurate description of the relationship that I have had with the Dragon. It's been a frustrating "on again - off again" experience. Up until recent years, affordable hardware was just not good enough to support Dragon's needs. Well, that is what I thought.This book presented a paradigm shift in what to expect from Dragon. The author provided two key points that I had never really considered regarding how to use Dragon. First, his advice to writers is to focus on getting the draft written. It's about word count and not formatting. Second, unless you have physical limitations that require you to use Dragon to control your computer keep the use of commands to the absolute minimum. Again, this is about writers and the need to focus on getting their drafts written.The author recommends not even using the DragonPad for dictation. He explains that using a basic text editor like the Windows Notepad works better for dictating a draft as it does not allow formatting. Thus, Dragon will focus on creating words from the dictation and not get confused with formatting commands.  This is a great approach.The author provides tips on how to work-around Dragon's problems regarding special or hard to pronounce words. For example: use a simple word to describe a difficult name or phrase and then use search and replace to fix things up during the editing period of the draft.Regarding editing of the draft, the author recommends not using Dragon at all. Instead, he recommends using the standard keyboard and mouse approach to clean up the draft.The author, also, provides some nice insight into how to expand the time that you can dictate by using either your smartphone or dictaphone. Again, this is where technology is finally capable of enough to support transcription by Dragon. I haven't tried this yet, but I am definitely looking forward to giving this a try.All in all, while the book is short, it does provide some great information to get started on the right foot with Dragon or help you develop a reasonable expectation about Dragon's capabilities. BTW, he covers both the Windows and Mac versions about what works and doesn't and any differences in how to use on the two platforms.I found this book quite helpful and highly recommend it to those who want to get their words captured into text without having to type them.

### ⭐⭐⭐
