NaturallySpeaking
Certified Training

NaturallySpeaking Training:

Training will include how to use NaturallySpeaking, and, more fundamentally, how to recognize when it is working properly and when it is not. For somebody new to dictation there are a lot of things to get right: dictation style, microphone adjustment and positioning, making corrections punctuation and the voice commands. Dictation is a bit like riding a bike, and it can be very useful indeed to have the help of someone who knows how it works and can guide you through getting everything right the first time. Training from somebody who knows what they are doing will help make the small modifications to speech style (pace, clarity, particularly of unstressed words, evenness of volume) easier, which can make a huge difference. If they know how well a system should work, it also overcomes the problem of not being able to tell whether the microphone is properly adjusted. Time spent training with a non-performing system is wasted. Having somebody who knows what they are doing sit with you when you start working with the program can save a huge amount of time and frustration.
People who are not familiar with computers, and are learning dictation at the same time as they are learning the basics of computing, Windows and word processing may experience considerable information overload. Not to mention students who are trying to follow a course as well! With one-to-one training, support, and help with the program, it will make a lot of difference as to how you can learn the program. On the other hand, somebody who already knows computers, will probably find running a dictation system very straight forward (or as straightforward as anything ever is with computers!).
