Speak 4 cad

[maa]

Has anyone tried speak 4 cad? If so, what did you think about it? Is it worth while to purchase?

Hi

Please note I have *moved* this thread from the Local User Groups forum to this one, as I feel this particular forum is a more appropriate place for such a topic.

Thanks, Mike

What is it? Voice recognition software?

If so, just make sure nobody runs by you and yells out "Quit, do not save".....

Try pronouncing a few of the more obscure system variables.

We actually had these people out to speak to our group a while back.
Pretty cool stuff.

I just bought a digital microphone phone and downloaded a trial copy. After using it for 10 minutes my first impression is that it is kind of slow to respond, but I don't really plan to implament it into my everyday cad routine.

The biggest advantage for me would be to use this for plotting deed descrptions and adding long notes to a drawing.

It took me half as long to plot a deed with speak4me, so I figure the software and microphone would pay for itself with 18 months because I plot about 50 deeds a year.

I always pictured an office full of people saying "line, escape, pline, 2 feet, enter, enter..." I think it would drive everyone crazy. I do see it useful for notes and word processing.

... I plot about 50 deeds a year.

FYI:
If these deeds are text files (or if you can get them in that format via OCR), then Carlson 2007 can draw. label, and calculate closure on the deed without manual entry.

All the deeds I work with are paper copies and it would probable take more time to scan them in, but we are getting a new scanner with a document feeder in a week or so.

Is that the full name of the software?
