This was from awhile ago, but based on the video, you could probably speak faster, if you enunciate more. It does take a bit of getting used to....but, don't be shy. :-) There's an approach I call "Creative Mode". This is where you look away from the screen, and just dictate, with or without punctuation. You still need to enunciate, and may lose a bit of accuracy, because punctuation adds context, which helps the system recognize words. However, this is a great approach for simply getting ideas out of your head. Only try this after you've been using and training the product for a fair amount of time (a few hours). If you learn the Editing commands ("Train the Words" and "Select The Words") you can always go back and correct mistakes by voice. This will not only fix "speak-o's" but will of course continue to improve recognition. Saying "Press Play" or clicking the "Play" button will repeat the audio, so you can remember what you actually said, and edit/train it. Thanks again for sharing this video. - JayG (@macspeech) Chris, thanks for showing how you use MacSpeech Dictate.

I have arthritis and am considering purchasing MacSpeech to help with papers for school but the university also uses Adobe Acrobat Connect Pro extensively. Thanks in advance for your help.
