		<description>Hey Sam,

No it doesn't.  That's more like a text-to-speech program (which DNS does have) added onto an artificial intelligence program that triggers a response.

If you have a AI program or computer, you could use this speech generating engine, but that is not what it is for nor does.


It does not repeat what you say either.  This particular video provides an example essentially of how you can review and edit the speech which Dragon Naturally Speaking has transcribed.

All that said, you might be able to run this with a chatbot program.  Its been a few years since I tried that myself, but had some success with a number of products on the market.

There comes a point though where speaking your words so that they can be converted to text and then receiving words through a chat program and converting them to speech is a long slow technical way around avoiding just having a phone conversation with VOIP.

I do understand situations where one party might want to type and the other party might want to listen and talk, but you'd have to test it with specific programs first.  The down side to DNS ( I believe not having tried it) is that you have to select the words to be read aloud.  So if you are using a chat program, its not going to read to you every chat line that comes in as it comes in.  You'd have to select it and have it play manually.  (also consider that if it did read it automatically, you might be talking yourself while your computer was talking to you and the etiquette of interrupting your computer, or your computer interrupting you might feel a little strange.)  :)</description>

		<description>does dragon naturally speaking use voice recognition software? I mean will or can you program it to respond back to you by voice? In other words say i ask it "How are you today?" will it or can you program it to say back " I am fine" will it work with a chatbot program?
I fthis is possible then i am interested. I dont want it to use the function of repeating everything i say...
thank you.
