Reduce the Pain of Arthritis by Using Dragon NaturallySpeaking



Are you suffering from Arthiritis / Rheumatoid Arthiritis that affects your hands and fingers? Is that limiting the tasks that you can do on your computer? Or are you just ignoring the pain and pulling through somehow?

If so, consider using speech recognition programs like DRAGON NATURALLYSPEAKING 
(DRAGON DICTATE FOR MAC OS) to operate your computer hands-free. Not only will it reduce the need for using your hands and fingers repeatedly, but it will also increase your productivity in tasks like email, word processing and web browsing. This is because according to the Stanford Research Study, voice typing can be up to 3 times faster than typing with fingers.

Dragon NaturallySpeaking has been recommended
Dragon NaturallySpeaking is available on both Windows and Mac OS. On Mac OS, it is called as Dragon Dictate.

Dragon NaturallySpeaking has got separate commands for controlling the mouse. You can watch my YouTube demo below:


With the current versions of Dragon NaturallySpeaking, you do not need to train the software for hours so that it can adapt to your accent and style of speaking. For most of the tasks, the software works right out of the box. After installation, you can get started in as little as 15 minutes.



My Story

I developed severe repetitive stress injury symptoms after two decades of working in the high-tech industry. The health condition brought other problems such as Fibromyalgia to the surface making it impossible for me to operate the computer anymore. That is until I found that Dragon NaturallySpeaking

During the course of my learning, I found that many users do not realise that they not only they can use Dragon NaturallySpeaking for dictation, email or word processing but also for web browsing, working with spreadsheets and improving productivity by automating their workflow. Some of the less tech-savvy users were not aware that they can use cheap noise cancelling external soundcard is work in a noisy environment.

I, therefore, created FREE VIDEO TUTORIALS to share my knowledge to help users utilise Dragon Naturally Speaking to its full potential. And, in the process, help them gain control of their pain due to repetitive stress injuries.

The list of FREE VIDEO TUTORIALS with my blog posts is here.

Reduce finger, wrist and forearm pain due to computer mouse usage with Gentle Mouse

If you are reading this on a computer screen, chances are that you would have clicked your mouse at least a couple of times to navigate through this content. And in most cases, the finger used to click would be your index finger. Now imagine doing this repetitive movement every few minutes, day after day, year after year and you can easily infer that your fingers are at an increased risk of repetitive stress injury (or RSI) due to mouse overuse. The common name given to this painful condition is  Mouse Finger .  The 'Finger' in Mouse Finger usually leads a person to believe that the pain is restricted to the fingers alone.  However, from what I have surmised after reviewing anecdotal evidence and medical literature, it commonly presents as a cluster of symptoms in the finger, wrist and the forearm. Perhaps that explains why there are no easily available research studies pertaining to Mouse Finger alone. Most of the research studies consider these symptoms as a p...

How US Tax Reform Affects Patients with Chronic Illness

It was messy, but it is finally done and over with! On December 22, 2017 the tax reform bill , or 'a giant tax cut ' as President Trump calls it, has finally been passed by both houses and has been signed into a law. It is not immediately obvious how the tax plan impacts patients with chronic illnesses. Views in the media are often tainted by the political prism through which the commentators tend to look at this issue. Plus there is limited discussion of the specific provisions that can affect patients with chronic illnesses. In this post, I am outlining some of the major provisions of the final bill that may affect chronically ill patients. Bear in mind that I am not a professional in accounting and taxation . However, I seem to have had more than my fair share of tax problems and as a result, I have become overfamiliar with the IRS website and publications. Article continues after the ad To make it easier to wrap our brains around this complex piece...
