Writing fuiction with Dragon Naturally Speaking software? Vanity | Today | St Ant Knee Posted on Sunday, February 15, 2009 3:51:24 PM by StAntKnee I've written several books using Dragon NaturallySpeaking software and have pitched to my agent a book on how to write a novel using the software. It'd be useful to hear how others have fared. Any experiences with the software that would contradict my very good experience?

Does Dragon do spell checking?

Actually, no. It never mispells. You see, its dictionary has only correctly spelled words.

It will put homonyms in. Two for to or too.

And it will misinterpret poor diction.

I’m thinking a view FOR I’m thinking of you.

Say both phrases aloud, and you’ll see the issue.

As to fuiction is a typo by me. Fared is correct.

Thx for the input.
