I would estimate that Dragon cuts the time to do a note ito 1/3 to ¼ . the prior

I spend minimal time making correction s– none of which are spelling now. That will improve with when it learns my voice more.

I didn’t get to use it much last week when at the hospital but the 2 days before – I got lunch which I haven’t done once a after morning clinic in a very long time – many months.

I also haven’t had a head or neck ache since I started it .
