Dragon Medical with KnowBrainer 2016



                       
                          

                                             
KnowBrainer 2016 is a third-party command utility that adds thousands of commands and numerous capabilities to Dragon, simplifies the learning curve and substantially increases your efficiency. KnowBrainer can even utilize built-in Windows speech recognition commands like DISPLAY Numbers which numbers every possible mouse click position so that you can left click, right click or double click any position with a single command. By comparison, the Dragon's MouseGrid command only works on 1 computer screen and can require up to 5 additional commands. From a command point of view, KnowBrainer is vastly superior to professional versions of Dragon which utilizes an older, limited and much slower command technology. KnowBrainer also includes an interactive ultra-dynamic sidebar that displays all available commands and doubles as a Command Browser. You can find or open any KnowBrainer command by saying FIND COMMAND or EDIT COMMAND .  Example: Say Edit Command to open the KnowBrainer Paragraph command for editing. By comparison, the sluggish Dragon Learning Center (sidebar) is static and only displays a partial list of commands.

KnowBrainer includes 65 open ended vocabulary commands (utilizing any vocabulary word/s), for Dragon 13 and higher, such as Google For , Search Contacts for , Spanish Translation for and Search Computer for .

Dragon can only be used to directly dictate in less than 1% of applications. Non-Dragon friendly applications require opening the Dictation Box, dictating and then transferring your dictation to the target application. The KnowBrainerInsert command enables direct dictation in any field or application that accepts typing. Example: Say Insert   to type "my dog has fleas" ANYWHERE!

KnowBrainer includes our patented ability to verbally create VB, DVC & .Net commands which is 10 times faster than typing but we didn't stop there. We kicked it up a notch by adding 3 groundbreaking commands that create VB scripting and boilerplate text commands automatically. You can now create Advanced-Scripting commands without any scripting or programming knowledge. For example, if you want to create a command that will click on a button or menu called, for example, Widget, simply hover the mouse over any button or menu and say something like New Mouse Command Called . KnowBrainer will record X & Y coordinates, create, name and save your Visual Basic Scripting command in less than 2 seconds. KnowBrainer includes a similar command creation function based on the previously mentioned DISPLAY Numbers command (detailed in our KnowBrainer Manual). You can voice automate any application within a few minutes. To create a fast boilerplate text command highlight a paragraph and say New Text Command Called . We like to think of KnowBrainer 2016 as Dragon hamburger helper. Dragon is the beef and KnowBrainer is the helper J

Other new features include extensive help files, the ability to create Advanced Scripting commands in VB or .Net and much faster command deployment (twice as fast as Dragon commands and previous versions of KnowBrainer).

KnowBrainer 2016 is only available in ENGLISH and only includes limited functionality for non-English versions of NaturallySpeaking . KnowBrainer 2016 is compatible with Windows 7 32-bit & 64-bit and Windows 8 operating systems.   
 



KnowBrainer Features:
  • Adds thousands of commands to NaturallySpeaking
  • Fixes numerous NaturallySpeaking bugs and design flaws
  • Simplifies the learning process by combining basic multi-step commands
  • Works with all versions of NaturallySpeaking from Preferred on up.
  • Includes step-by-step (with pictures) installation and training guide for both NaturallySpeaking and KnowBrainer
  • Allows hands-free use of your computer
  • Customers typically report the elimination of 25% or more of their labor costs when adding KnowBrainer to NaturallySpeaking.
  • Our exclusive Command Browser allows you to copy, edit or create your own Advanced-Scripting commands for an even greater reduction in labor costs
  • The ability to delete or toggle off any command
  • VerbalBasic: Our patent pending ability to create commands verbally
  • Includes our exclusive VerbalBasic (command writing) training guide
If you make a major part of your living from your computer, we still recommend purchasing NaturallySpeaking Pro (with KnowBrainer 2016) over Standard/Home and Preferred/Premium because Pro has numerous advantages over Premium.
One of the main reasons why customers pay up to 6 times the price of the Home Edition for NaturallySpeaking Professional/Medical/Legal is for it's command capability. For those who cannot afford the professional versions of NaturallySpeaking there is finally an affordable solution; NaturallySpeaking Premium with KnowBrainer.
 
If you want the world's best speech recognition engine but cannot afford or justify the price of Pro 13, there is FINALLY an affordable second, more affordable option.

Samson Stage X1U USB with Dragon Medical


 
 
Samson just released the Stage X1U USB  wireless TableMike which is designed for vocalists but additionally doubles for speech recognition and VoIP use. The only downside is that the X1U is a little bulky and requires 2 AA batteries. The reason we are featuring the new Stage X1U is because it includes a tripod, USB soundcard, wireless (a TableMike 1st) and best of all, costs less than $90 which is considerably less than other professional TableMikes.

Note: Our version of the X1U has been tweaked for speech recognition and includes a 24+ inch vocal range. The original model, offered by music stores, only includes a 5 inch range. The KnowBrainer tweak is covered under the 1 year manufacturer warranty and is ideally suited to Far Field user profile use. See
KnowBrainer TableMike Face-Off to compare the Stage X1U to other TableMikes.

Sennheiser SD Pro 2


 
We like the Sennheiser SD Pro 2 (two speakers) and Pro 1 (one speaker) microphones for professional clients that want both the freedom of a wireless headset and the ability to switch between accurate PC dictation and crystal clear phone calls, with the push of a button.
