And let me tell you: you're not alone. I've been there myself and in my work I speak to people all the time who need help making their speech recognition a success...
I'll be totally transparent: I love Google and I've found answers to many questions by searching the web...
I know exactly what it is like to need speech recognition software to get my work done. That is why I have created blended e-learning courses to offer you the knowledge and support I wish I had had myself when I first started using my voice for dictation and commands.
