Over the years I've had a lot of different computer setups so that I could run Dragon NaturallySpeaking. Dragon NaturallySpeaking version nine, works very well. it's far from perfect, however, and I've been using a Mac program to do the edits. Sadly, my poor iBook is no longer up to the task of being an editor and the Windows programs I can find just don't work as well. Right now, I can't come up with a solution in terms of software on the Windows platform that's equivalent to what I've been doing and , although I can edit by voice,it's not taking care of every error nor is it time efficient.
So as much as I would like the content of this blog to be 'perfect', I really can't take the time and energy to do the amount of editing that would take. after thinking this over, and knowing that the resources I have, must go towards the work I produce for my job, I've decided that I will just indicate at the end of the post that it was dictated with voice-recognition .
Which works darn well, I think. And, as Henry James said, Excellence does not require perfection, a quote I found on Lady Bracknell's blog that made me feel considerably better about this whole technological can of worms. (She has found some wonderful jewelry at Etsy, by the way.)

A strategy I might well adopt.
