Does it work with the TV or radio turned up?....
Plus I have a hard time talking with food in my mouth...haha. Seriously you were correct that it erodes your typing skills and that is a bad thing now that we all use many different devises during the day. My previous comment was made while hitting Dunkin Donuts for instance. |

LOL, I have the microphone hot keyed and usually remember to turn it off when it's not needed.
I say usually because sometimes I forget and find it typing away a phone conversation or trying to make sense out of my dogs barking and howling. : The best thing about using Dragon is that it can actually spell! My spelling isn't that bad but I have a few bad typing habits like using "teh" instead of "the" that I'm finding very hard to break. |

Good thing about the spelling issue is after about 1,000 reports you already know all the common words.
Plus Active words has auto correct.(counterpoint) |

Dana, you can add text onto a pic as many times as you want and do arrows in HIP. What does snagit add for annotations that HIP doesnt?

Hi Dom,
Part of the reason I use it SnagIt Editor is familiarity. I've been using it a long time and am very comfortable with all of its features. It is also very flexible as to what annotations I use, be it single ended arrows, double ended arrows, circles, ovals, boxes etc. as well as being able to change line thickness, color and position/orientation very easily. I am also able to select various fonts and then use Bold/italic/underline if I wish. It also has transparency and overlay capabilities that I use for my infrared work. I can take a digital picture and overlay an infrared picture, adjusting its transparency so that the underlying picture still shows through but the problem area shows up via the infrared picture. A straight infrared thermogram can be rather cryptic and difficult to understand if one is not trained to interpret them. This way the digital image provides a reference for the infrared image that illustrates a thermal anomaly that would not be visible to the naked eye. There is even a feature by which I can make a particular area a "hotspot" that when moused over pops up a link that can be clicked to step out to another Web page to look at for additional information about that particular thing. Of course this is something I don't use in my reporting but have used in my web work. I totally understand that as a small part of the overall program, HIP's picture editing functions are not likely to be as complete or flexible as a dedicated program would be. It's just me. I'm a geek and I like geek toys. ;D |

HIP does all of that except double ended arrows and the hotspot feature. We've had the IR overlay for a few years too.
