Here is a link to the specs required for either an iPad using Dragon for<br>
Apple, or using Dragon on a netbook. I believe that both the processing chip<br>
& the hard drive have to be modified for netbook to work properly for the<br>
Dragon NaturallySpeaking speech engine to work well. The netbook does have a<br>
built-in speech to text capacity, but IMHO, it is neither sufficient or<br>
efficient.<br>

It is my humble opinion in this case I believe that Dragon would work better<br>
on the Apple as the speech engine & internal sound card is more<br>
sophisticated in the Apple than it is in a netbook. Also with the iPad, one<br>
can download a free Bluetooth app and use an iPhone as a Bluetooth mic for<br>
the iPad. Pretty slick!<br>
<br>
I am a Dragon guru. You can contact me off-line if you need more help.<br>

Subject: Speech to Text Program for Netbook/iPad<br>
<br>
Hello everyone -<br>
<br>
<br>
<br>
I am working with a student who needs a speech to text program that can fit<br>
on her Netbook - she has very limited use of her wrists and is not able to<br>
carry around a full-sized laptop and needs typing assistance. We have looked<br>
at all of the versions of Dragon, but they use too much RAM and memory. Have<br>
you all had any students using speech to text on Netbooks or even iPads that<br>
have been successful? Thanks for any and all suggestions!<br>
<br>
<br>
<br>
