For me at least, they have gotten it right this time!

You can get Dragon Dictate 2.0 at the Nuance.com website for $199.99 here – Dragon Dictate.

However I bought mine at Amazon where they had the best price of about $129 with free shipping – Dragon Dictate 2.0 <—–Best Price Online

As I said in the video, I am used to thinking something and then typing it. I can then adjust words or use new words to make it sound just right. It is hard to do that with Dragon Dictate as you really want to get it right the first time. I am having a hard time thinking and talking smoothly at the same time but I assume I will get better at that the more I use it.

I didn’t make any errors in the video so I wasn’t able to show it but it is quite easy to delete a whole sentence or a specific word. There are a lot of commands that I haven’t learned and used yet but I am very happy that it does such a good job almost right out of the box. There was a quick and painless short training session where I had to read something into the microphone so the software could get used to my voice and then it was ready to do just like you saw in the video.

Since I am trying to make money from home through affiliate marketing, I will be using Dragon Dictate 2.0 to write many of the articles I send to Ezine Articles and other places like that. I thought I was fairly good at typing (about 60 words a minute) but I am finding that just talking is SIGNIFICANTLY easier. It is amazing how much easier it is to just talk than have to type every word out like I am doing right now. Much less stress on the hands and arms as well.

If you have any questions pleas leave a comment and I will try to answer it.

Bottom line: I BOUGHT A MACBOOK PRO and I love it. Yes, it is more expensive but my PC pissed me off for the last time! I now love the Macs because they turn off and on so fast and you don’t waste half of your life waiting for them to do something. My MacBook Pro took a couple of days to get used to but if you are at all familiar with computers and PC’s, you CAN make the change and learn quickly. I will never buy a PC again as I am officially a Mac guy now.

The MacBooks never seem to go on sale so there is only one place that I know where you can get them a little bit cheaper and it is here at MacMall – MacBook Pro

This was written on 1/27/2008 so it is OLD —->I’ve been spending the last two days transfering all my files and setting up my new laptop PC that I just bought. I got the HP Pavilion dv9740us Notebook PC and in the end the decision to buy a PC over a MacBook Pro was easy.

I love new and cool technology and I really wanted to buy a Mac but the price was just not competitive on any level. I have heard and read so much about how great the Mac’s are and their new operating system Leopard seems to be very well liked. I love the Mac vs. PC commercials and the Mac’s just seem to be cooler. I so badly wanted to try something new and cool!

Ahhh. A brand new laptop fresh in the box (feet sold seperately)

I needed to get a 17 inch screen as I do a lot of work with Excel and Access for my job and having the wider screen will be great. So, I was looking to buy the MacBook Pro 17″ or a PC with a 17″ screen. The price difference between the two was HUGE!

MacBook Pro 17″ comes with:
2 GB of Ram
One 160 GB hard drive
$2799.00 price tag

The HP Pavilion dv9740us Notebook PC comes with:
3 GB of Ram
Two 160 GB hard drives
$1199.00 price tag (after $50.00 mail in rebate)

My new laptop PC!

The MacBooks never seem to go on sale and so how could I possibly justify paying more than double for something that got less Ram and storage? I couldn’t and that is why I got the PC. It also comes with 4 USP ports, is BlueRay DVD compatible, and can be hooked up to your cable TV and used as a TV (it even has a remote for that).

I don’t like the fact that it no longer comes with the operating system backup discs and it says you need to burn them yourself. I guess this is the new trend. It also has a pretty slim instruction manual as they want you to go online now for everything it seems. I love the fact that it has 2 hard drives so I can put Microsoft XP on one of the hard drives if I end up disliking Vista. Without the two hard drives you would have to partition your one hard drive in order to install the second operating system. That is something I hope I never have to attempt.

So, that is what I have been and will be doing for a while. Getting a new laptop is fun but getting it all set up and everything transferred is quite boring. It’s amazing how old and clunky my 4+ year old Dell seems after getting the new laptop. Now I have to make some money with it!
