Yeah, so the class was on transcribing and translating documents and we're talking about

Dragon naturally speaking software. Now I use Dragon when it came out first came out and

I have to say it was quite miserable. I mean you would talk into the headset and it wouldn't recognize

words or anything. The software has improved greatly on two different levels.

It understands your vocabulary and builds a library over time which is really helpful.

It also will work with different languages and accents.

There's actually a southern accent module.

You don't have to pay anything for it, but when you set it up, they

ask you, you know, because there's different diction and different emphasis on certain words.

So, no, it's come so far. Now with my arthritis when I type my first

draft on books in any content I'm developing I use Dragon I love it. I have the

home version you don't need to do the pro version and it's very

reasonably priced. Well from Alpha yes. Yeah so it's it's got a weird name and I'll spell it out it's W-O-L-F-R-A-M-D-D-O-L-T-O-T-O-T-O-T-O-O-T-O-O-O-O-T-O-O-O-O-L-F-R-A-M-D-A-P-H-A. Right. Yeah, yeah. So, but what it is is it's a free computational knowledge base, don't think of it as a search engine,

you can't go in and look up a record, you can't look up a person per se.

But what Michael Wolfram is built is a database, a master database from

10,000 different databases around the world. So you could put in and say what is

the value of $1 on March 1st, 1917.

Let's say you had a letter from an ancestor

and they said they spent a dollar on something.

What does that mean in today's terms?

It will spit back not just what the value is.

They'll show you the inflation chart from 1917 to today's day.
