Is there voice recognition software specifically designed for writing a book?

I want to write a book. I do not type well or have any "how to" knowledge. I was told there may be software out there that will do light editing and make suggestions including word choices.

I don't write books, but write 100-200 pages a week of training materials and lesson plans http://www.amazon.com/Dragon-NaturallySpeaking-Preferred-Speech-Recognition/dp/B000H2049I/sr=8-1/qid=1171290729/ref=pd_bbs_sr_1/105-6738491-9386869?ie=UTF8&s=softwareDragon NaturallySpeaking 9 Preferred Speech RecognitionOther products by Nuance Communications, Inc.

Now, it doesn't suggest words, but it never makes a mispelling and it skips UH (I had to say UH three times to get it to write that).

MS Word I have Microsoft Office, with MS word, and it has a neat voice recognition software with it. You have to "train" it a bit, so that it will properly recognize your voice, but it does pretty good. It's fun to use, but I type at home and I wasn't comfortable with everyone around me hearing what I was writing!

Made me too self-conscious! But it was fun to play with for awhile. Word is great for letting you know when something is spelled wrong and your grammar isn't correct.It underlines them in color, and then by right clicking on the word you see the suggestions for grammar corrections.

It automatically fixes spelling errors. *Poppet*'s Recommendations Microsoft Office Ultimate 2007 FULL VERSION DVD Amazon List Price: $679.95 Used from: $676.04 Average Customer Rating: 4.0 out of 5 (based on 3 reviews) Microsoft Word 2007 Amazon List Price: $229.95 Used from: $224.81 .

Microsoft with word I know ms word has speech recognition. I know that it takes a few minutes because you have to train the computer. I believe that it is just a matter of reading some passages to the computer.

I don't know about making suggestions. But if you have word then it might be something to look into. Also as you use it more it will increase speech recognition accuracy.

You can also give command to format text. Not completely hands free but helps. Sources: Microsoft Word Help .

Just buy MS Vista its built in.... Microsoft has been researching and developing speech technologies for over a decade. Windows Vista includes a built-in speech recognition user interface designed specifically for users who need to control Windows and enter text without using a keyboard or mouse. There is also a state-of-the-art general purpose speech recognition engine.

Not only is this an extremely accurate engine, but it’s also available in a variety of languages. Windows Vista also includes the first of the new generation of speech synthesizers to come out of Microsoft, completely rewritten to take advantage of the latest techniques. The system includes built-in commands for controlling Windows—allowing you to start, switch between, and close applications using commands such as "Start Word and "Switch to Calculator."

Users can control on-screen interface elements like menus and buttons by speaking commands like "File" and "Open. " There’s also support for emulating the mouse and keyboard by giving commands such as "Press shift control left arrow 3 times. " Windows Vista speech technology includes built-in dictation capabilities (for converting the user’s voice into text) and edit controls (for inserting, correcting, and manipulating text in documents).

You can correct misrecognized words by redictating, choosing alternatives, or spelling and best of all it will work with all of the office applications from Office 2003 -2007. So if you already have XP or are considering Vista you are already covered.

A good paper is one that people get drawn into because it reaches them ln some way.As for me WW11 to me, I think of the holocaust and the effect it had on the survivors, their families and those who stood by and did nothing until it was too late.
