MindManager Powered by Your Voice is Here!
For a couple years now, I have been looking forward to the day when I could power MindManager with my voice. I could think it, speak it, and it would be mapped!
A couple years back, I picked up on Dragon Naturally Speaking 9, then upgraded to version 10. Neither version plays nice with MindManager 5, 6, 7, or 8!
Fortunately, a great little company has come up with a cheap solution to bridge that gap and the software is called VoxEnable.
Now, I sat down a week ago and created a series of videos showing how VoxEnable made it possible to use Dragon Naturally Speaking 10 with MindManager 8. It worked beautifully.
Unfortunately, I had my video/audio recording settings cross wired, and the audio of my voice didn’t make it into the video. Today, I finally got around to making those videos. They are a little low tech as I created them on the airplane coming out here. 
That itself was a fun little experiment. I wanted to see how the airplane sound quality might impact Dragon Naturally Speaking. (End result, no impact at all, it worked great).
The first video is above, and I will have some more videos to follow this as I get a chance to publish them this week, so don’t forget to subscribe to our site if you haven’t already!

Thanks for the video. I was wondering how you captured the sound. Did you use the laptop’s in built mic?

I used Camtasia software along with the same microphone that was simultaneously powering the voice recognition. My laptop was doing double duty, recording my voice for the video and recording my voice, analyzing it and turning it into text and commands. Not to mention the video capture of my actions.
