[Lex Computer & Tech Group/LCTG] just thought that you would want to know

I use voice recognition as frequently as possible including writing this email.

I find it very accurate using Google Voice on phone/tablet and on windows I either use the Microsoft voice recognition on windows 11 and on Windows 10 I use dragon naturally speaking.

I can't type as fast as I can talk. Dictation quality has improved dramatically over the last few years.

Right now, I am using Samsung's built-in voice recognition, and it I don't think is as accurate as Google, but it's still very good just the same.

The hard part with voice dictation on my phone and tablet is punctuation.

Dragon lets me dictate punctuation as I speak.

For those of you on windows 11 Microsoft now owns the company that makes dragon naturally speaking and they have adopted some of that technology into their voice software making it. A lot more accurate than in Windows 10.

MS key +H activates it.
