Dear Clair,

I am unforgivably delayed in putting my thanks into writing, for your contribution of Dragon Dictate for Windows and two days of tutoring for the staff and the Center.

This is an extremely valuable contribution and is something that we use every week, in working with people who are trying to make difficult decisions about adaptive technology.

Your assistance in keeping us up to date and acting as a tutoring resource are greatly appreciated, especially as voice input technology changes.

Executive Director
Center for Accessible Technology

Clair,

Thanks for taking the time to come out and install Dragon - and thanks for the donation of the Dragon for Windows Classic Edition software. We truly
appreciated it.

Dear Mr. Calhoon:

Thank you very much for your generous gift to the High Tech Center at Diablo Valley College. Your gift will benefit many students using assistive technology so that they can access education or retrain for competitive employment. It is nice to know that there are people and companies in our community that recognize the importance of state of the art technology as crucial training tools in education. Thank you again for your generosity.

Dear ________,

I apologize for not writing sooner, but my RSI has kept me in agony—I’ve just been too sore to write sooner.

But yesterday, WorkLink installed a Dragon system on my computer. With it I talk, and the words appear on the screen – I don’t have to use my hands at all! This will be great for school, and of course, writing to you.

I now have a second chance at life.…

Dear Clair:

I can’t tell you how much I appreciate DragonDictate for Windows. I can now do UNIX programming via an Ethernet link, using X-windows, by talking into my PC.

I am actually using the software on my UNIX machine, but everything appears on my PC screen.

Before I got Dragon, I could only type using one finger, and that with considerable difficulty owing to my ALS. Now I can continue working as long as I can talk.

Thanks again,

Dear Clair:

Dragon NaturallySpeaking is fantastic!

I can do my appraisal reports using NatSpeak in no time at all using just my voice. I’ve found that I can go several paragraphs without a misrecognition, and at almost 250 words per minute (I use a lot of boilerplate!).

I know this sounds fast, but the vocabulary is relatively small in the property appraising field, so my words are well trained. And of course you know how fast I talk anyway!
