When typing casually, or when thinking, I average over 60 wpm. When
dictating or writing previously-written text, I'm near 90. I do this
with nearly 0 errors, and correcting only slows me down a trifle. How
do you do with voice recognition on average? I'm really curious how
simple it is to correct, and how it effects your overal speed. I've
watched Dave Pogue demo Naturally Speaking, and frankly, I wasn't too
impressed with it--ok, it is impressive to watch it happen, but it's
also impressive to watch a dog dance. ;-) Doesn't mean the dog dances
beautifully, nor does it mean I want to use speech recognition, but
I'm curious how well you do on average. :-0
