Dragon NaturallySpeaking 10: Speed Drafting Of Documents

We are in the age of digital information, where we accumulate and store data digitally, at will. More information means more complexities and more ways of making the right statements in the right documents for different clients. Now if you are a person, who keeps drafting pages and pages worth of information digitally, Dragon NaturallySpeaking 10 is apt for your needs.

This software is a premium speech-to-text software that allows users to manage time and deadlines and draft documents as you speak. According to maker Nuance, Version 10 is supposed to be 20 percent more accurate than its predecessor Version 9, and also offers up to 99 percent accuracy. Keeping this in mind, we thought of putting the software to test.

System Requirements
Dragon NaturallySpeaking 10 requires minimum 900MHZ of processing power, 512MB and 1GB of RAM free hard-disk space. You will also require a noise-cancelling headset microphone, and a 16-bit or equivalent sound card.

On the software side, it runs only on Windows Operating Systems higher than Windows 2000, which include Windows XP and Vista, So Mac users can look elsewhere.

Set-up

I started installing on our test machine, which had Windows XP Professional loaded, and the entire set-up process took me around 15 minutes. As part of the set-up, there is a microphone check that happens. I had a KOSS noise-canceling headset microphone that I used for testing as the in-box headset just failed to pick up any voice signals. We don't know whether it was a hardware issue or a software one. I guess it was the hardware, as it worked perfectly fine on KOSS. Overall, there were no glitches with the software, it had a nice clean install and after a restart there was a small icon that appeared on the taskbar.

One really good feature was that as soon as one starts using the software, the text appears wherever you put the cursor. I found the DragonPad to be a cool feature packaged as part of this application.

Software Usability Testing

The software at the start appears as a nice interface. At first, I started off by reading out a few sentences from the newspaper. I felt about eight out of 10 words were surprisingly accurate. However, After five minutes of use, the number of errors started increasing. Like the word 'Explore' became 'Explode', 'Wonders' became 'Wanders' and then became 'One Door'. I really could not understand whether it was an access issue or something else, so I made my colleague speak and the some errors just kept repeating. So the software picks up sometimes but at other times it doesn't.

Final Verdict
Dragon NaturallySpeaking 10 supports almost all types of commands on Word, Excel, Notepad, Internet Browser or any surface that is used to write text on. I found it to be highly usable. The only negative Ii felt was you have to treat the software the way it wants to be treated, not how you want it. The reason I say this is because I tried the software in both the tutorial mode and the normal mode. Nuance claims that it has built different accent recognition tools into the software. However, the software is maybe just 50 percent successful vis-a-vis that claim. Even the difference between vowels and consonants is not clearly picked up and the software seems quite confused.

Overall, I feel the software is good to use in a corporate environment as it is definitely not affordable for school or college guys, but you may opt for the licensing models, which Nuance plans to offer soon.

New iPhone May Support HD Video Out

More rumors from the iPhone third generation front are talking about Apple’s up and coming handset featuring a Video Out resolution of up to 720p and 1080i. Of course this is yet to be officially confirmed but if it’s true it’s another brilliant step up in the iPhone’s repertoire of features. There seems to be more and more surprises popping up every now and then about the newer handset and so far none seem to be mundane or just plain ordinary.

According to sources, Apple has already started advising their authorized retail outlets to start making space for new Apple AV Cables that incorporate both Composite and Component.

Reports are also talking of the new handset being able to stream videos over a wireless home-network via Wi-Fi from your PC and get videos stored on your drive.


It’s going to be something really big if Apple is making so many changes to the handset and personally my curiosity hasn’t yet peaked as this seems to be just the beginning of the feature set the next handset is going to employ.

Nokia Sells Mobile TV Technology Unit to Wipro

Nokia Sells Mobile TV Technology Unit to Wipro

Nokia has sold its enterprise mobile TV unit to India's Wipro, a spokesman for Nokia said on Monday. The Mobile Broadcast Solutions unit had about 40 employees and created software and hardware which enabled the mobile TV technology on the phone to find and access the broadcasting network.

"We wanted to focus on the consumer side of things, the mobile TV client in the devices, rather than on the business-to-business side," said the spokesman. Mobile television broadcasting, the hottest upcoming feature for cellphones only a few years ago, has found little demand anywhere in the world.

Oracle to Buy Sun Micro, Enters Hardware Market

Oracle to Buy Sun Micro, Enters Hardware Market

Oracle Corp plans to enter the computer hardware market by buying Sun Microsystems Inc for more than $7 billion, swooping in after Sun's talks with IBM fell apart. The announcement on Monday surprised many Oracle watchers, who believe the company can boost profitability at Sun's software businesses but were unsure if it can be as successful with Sun's hardware unit amid stiff competition from International Business Machines Corp, Hewlett-Packard Co, Dell Inc and new entrant Cisco Systems Inc.

"It's an out-of-the-box, left-field type of a deal because Oracle is buying a predominantly hardware business," said Jefferies & Co analyst Ross MacMillan. "The push-pull of the deal is the uncertainty of the hardware business with the earnings accretion of the software business." Oracle Chief Executive Larry Ellison and Sun Chairman Scott McNealy are two Silicon Valley pioneers who have become close friends over the past two decades as their companies worked together to take on rivals like Microsoft Corp and IBM. Oracle's database and related software already work closely with Sun's Java software and Solaris operating system.

The deal would make Oracle the world's fourth-largest maker of servers, with the No. 2 slot in the high-end of the market, which was worth about $17 billion last year. It is already the world's No 2 maker of business software after IBM. Oracle will pay $9.50 a share for Sun, which values the high-end server and software maker at about $7.06 billion, based on 743 million shares outstanding as of the end of its fiscal second quarter on Dec. 28, according to Sun. Sun previously rejected IBM's offer to pay up to $9.40 a share, according to sources with knowledge of the matter. On Nasdaq, shares of Santa Clara, California-based Sun jumped 36.77 percent to $9.15, while Redwood City, California-based Oracle fell 1.26 percent to $18.82. ACCRETIVE IN 1ST YEAR Sun rose to prominence in the 1990s but never fully recovered from the dot-com bubble burst in the early 2000s, when demand for its high-end servers cratered.

Oracle President Safra Catz said on a conference call that Oracle intends to make the hardware division profitable. Sun's top-selling products are high-end servers and storage gear. Catz said the acquisition, which the companies expect to close this summer, will add at least 15 cents per share to earnings and $1.5 billion to operating profit in the first full year after closing. It will be more profitable on a per share basis than Oracle had planned for its previous purchases of BEA, PeopleSoft and Siebel combined, Catz said. "The deal would strengthen Oracle's position against IBM. Oracle has done a good job on acquisitions it has done earlier," said Robert Jakobsen, analyst at Jyske Bank in Copenhagen. "It makes sense also historically. Oracle has been more successful commercializing software than Sun."

The companies said the transaction is valued at $5.6 billion net of cash and debt. Sun's board -- which includes a seat held by its top shareholder Southeastern Asset Management with 22 percent stake -- had unanimously approved the deal, which is subject to shareholder and regulatory approval. Oracle, which had $11.3 billion debt as of Feb. 28, of which $10.1 billion was held overseas, said it intends to fund the transaction with cash and short-term debt. ANTITRUST HURDLE LOWER Sun has been looking for a buyer for months, a person with knowledge of the matter said, with IBM, Oracle, HP, Dell and Cisco having all been cited as possible buyers. Last month, IBM emerged as the lead contender to buy Sun but those talks collapsed primarily because the two sides were unable to agree on guarantees that IBM would not walk away from the deal under antitrust regulatory scrutiny, the source said.

Oracle expressed its interest in buying Sun's assets several weeks before the two sides started formal negotiations late last Thursday, the source added. Sun was more comfortable striking a deal with Oracle because the two operate complementary rather than overlapping businesses, and antitrust roadblocks are less likely, the source said on condition of anonymity. Antitrust experts said that they expect the deal to win regulatory approval, though it could receive close scrutiny because of its size and complexity.

Thomas D. Morgan of the George Washington University Law School noted that the U.S. Justice Department tried but failed to block Oracle's 2004 purchase of rival PeopleSoft. "On that precedent, the acquisition of a hardware company is likely to be even less of a problem," he said. "It looks like the kind of thing that is likely to go through." Analysts have said the sale of Sun could signal a new wave of mergers and partnerships in the data center market as companies strive to provide more comprehensive services that tie hardware and software offerings together. "It moves Oracle more into the competition with HP and IBM and Microsoft. It makes them a player in the space," said Shannon Cross of Cross Research.

Bluetooth 3.0 Announced

From its annual All Hands Meeting in Tokyo this week, the Bluetooth SIG formally adopted Bluetooth Core Specification Version 3.0 High Speed (HS), or Bluetooth 3.0. This latest iteration of the popular short-range wireless technology fulfills the consumers’ need for speed while providing the same wireless Bluetooth experience – only faster. Manufacturers of consumer electronics and home entertainment devices can now build their products to send large amounts of video, music and photos between devices wirelessly at higher speeds.

Bluetooth 3.0 gets its speed from the 802.11 radio protocol. The inclusion of the 802.11 Protocol Adaptation Layer (PAL) provides increased throughput of data transfers at the approximate rate of 24 Mbps. In addition, mobile devices including Bluetooth 3.0 will realize increased power savings due to enhanced power control built in.

"Like Ricky Bobby in Talladega Nights, this latest version was 'born to go fast,' said Michael Foley, Ph.D., executive director of the Bluetooth SIG." Utilizing the 802.11 radio was a natural choice as it provides efficiencies for both our members and consumers – members get more function out of the two radios they are already including in devices, and consumers with Bluetooth v3.0 HS products will get faster exchange of information without changing how they connect. We are excited to expand the possibilities of the PAN.”

This newest version of Bluetooth technology builds on the inherent qualities of the current 2.1 EDR version, including Simple Secure Pairing and built-in, automatic security. And as with all versions of the Bluetooth specification, Bluetooth 3.0 HS provides developers, manufacturers and consumers with the benefit of backwards compatibility, enabling both the expansion and enhancement of this technology with every new specification release. Once products reach the market, the easiest way for consumers to learn which devices are compatible with other Bluetooth enabled devices is to visit the Bluetooth Gadget Guide.

Some applications consumers will experience include:

• Wirelessly bulk synchronize music libraries between PC and music player or phone
• Bulk download photos to a printer or PC
• end video files from camera or phone to computer or television

The Bluetooth SIG’s formal adoption of the specification is only the first step in the product lifecycle. News out today from wireless chip manufacturers and Bluetooth SIG member companies Atheros, Broadcom, CSR, and Marvell shows the second step – getting silicon solutions to device manufacturers – is already underway. End products for consumers are expected to be in the market in 9 to 12 months.
