I broke my wrist and typing is a chore. Any thoughts on voice recognition software for W10?

Not used it on Windows 10. Have used Dragon and other programs. Still needs work. I would not use it for anything important. It has to learn your voice and often makes humorous mistakes.

Last time I looked Dragon was the top choice for professional voice-to-text transcription, but I’m a Mac guy.

In the past when I used Windows on PC, I installed the Dragon Naturally Speaking software and it recommended sitting and reading from a textbook early on to key in on nuances of speech. I did follow this direction and it did correct many of the small mistakes. I found that as time went on using the software it was very proficient and I used it for many college course paperwork. Saved a lot of time, but it wasn't perfect as ZMICHAEL points out, but it was acceptable and got better over time. I'd certainly recommend it.

And sometimes not so humerus.



When in doubt, mumble
