Disadvantages od voice data entry system?

Voice recognition software does make occasional mistakes, and if you (like me) are purchasing it because of dyslexia, then you may have some difficulty with the context of words like "your." The software does not come trained understanding contexts, but if you teach it, it will learn, if you don't know the correct context, then you can't teach it, and it will never learn. Also, if you are dictating something that has a certain word in it that appears on the webpage that you are looking at as a hyperlink, sometimes it will click on a it, and all of your progress will be lost, it's extremely frustrating! Overall however, it's extremely useful, rarely makes mistakes, and is very easy to use! I am using it right now. I would highly recommend Dragon NaturallySpeaking version 10 preferred.

The most common code originally used was a 7 bit code called ASCII (American Standard Code for Information Interchange) that was originally defined on October 6, 1960 for use with teletypes. However with only 128 values (33 of which were reserved for teletype control functions, most of which were irrelevant to computers) only standard US English characters could be represented.

Since 1996 there has been a gradual transition to the variable length code called Unicode (usually in UTF-8 format) that can represent most international characters.
