My blogging buddies know that I rely on their help to understand Internet technology. I have been blessed with good friends who have been willing to help me fix my blog and make it pretty. I am pretty excited to have been asked to review computer software jv16 PowerTools 2009 because I like to give out good information that helps us all. It is nice to be able to repay all the information I have been given.

How many times are you afraid to work with programs because you are afraid that everything will disappear? When you use jv16 PowerTools your data is protected. You can feel comfortable working with new things because you will be able to undo things you try. Shew! Wouldn’t that be a relief?

I have noticed that my computers run slower now than when I first bought them. jv16 PowerTools has so many different scans listed that clean up your computer. I don’t know what half of them do but they offer a free scan and I am going to try it. What do I have to lose? I’ll be back in a few minutes and let you know how it went. brb

Wow! Macecraft Software has me as a new customer. The step by step process was very easy and the scan found a few things that were out of wack. I remember running my computer’s scan and watching all those little boxes line up. jv16 PowerTools cleans up all those remnants of previously uninstalled software. It cleans the registry and analyzes it to make your computer run safer and at optimal performance. It gets rid of all the remnants of unused downloads that might hinder your privacy. It has automatic backup and safety features to make sure your data is safe.

Available in may languages, the most important feature of this software is that it comes with 24/7 Live Chat based technical support! I always have to have a crutch and a live one is my favorite.

You can see by the screen shot, there are many tools this software uses to make your computer run at its best speed and performance.

If there is one software that both novice and professional users should have, it is jv16 PowerTools. Try the free scan to see if you agree.

Watching the videos shown above was so much fun! I have blogged with many of those people for a year or more. I have to say that my favorite video was Heather. She has done something with Dragon Naturally Speaking software that we should all do. She has begun to interview her 95 year old father and get his history into a record that will be able to be accessed for years to come. How many of us even have our pictures organized? Kudos to Heather and Kudos to Dragon Naturally Speaking for having the capability to make this an easier task.

Now that I have watched the videos, I am even more determined that this software is something that would be beneficial to our family. It is going on my Christmas wish list along with a new cordless microphone headset, a new theme, lessons to learn how to improve my writing skills, and a smaller laptop! Since I am on a roll, I think I need a wireless mouse, a stand that has a fan so, when I set my laptop on my legs, my legs don’t get hot and more time to read blogs. I would love to attend a workshop to learn how to do things with Photoshop and also how to seem natural when making videos with my webcam. (Hubby, if you are using this to guide you in shopping for me, I need the theme upgrade and then the Dragon Naturally Speaking software. Brett can probably help you figure out how to buy both. Don’t forget to use the coupon codes found at the bottom of this post).

I can think of so many ways that Dragon Naturally Speaking will make my blogging easier and faster. If you are thinking of buying the software, which I think is going to be a staple in every bloggers office, check out the following coupon codes.

My friend Brett explains it best in the following article:
Hello my name is Brett Bumeter and I write about Dragon Naturally Speaking at Softduit.com (Tip if you are looking for the details on the coupon codes scroll to the bottom of this article). I wanted to share this video with you showing a fellow blogger named Drew who is using Dragon NaturallySpeaking 10 for the first time. There are some interesting things that you will see in this video that I wanted to point out to help you get a sense of how Dragon NaturallySpeaking works and how it could potentially work for you.

I think it’s important to see Dragon NaturallySpeaking, when people are using it and videos definitely help show you how well the software works these days. It’s extremely fast and can help you to type at 150 words per minute. You can see this in the demonstration that Drew has created as he is basically talking at a relatively normal speed. You will notice that he tends to look with his eyes to the right and up just a little bit.

I mention this not because Drew is looking in some strange direction, but instead because Dragon NaturallySpeaking does use your brain in a slightly different way than what you may be used to. You have to think of the words you will say in your head and then speak it out loud. That’s a little different than when you think of a composition and type it out with your fingers or even more different than when you attempt to write with your hands using a pen and paper. All three activities use different sections of our brains.

There used to be a time a decade ago when using Dragon NaturallySpeaking was more difficult because it would take a significant amounts of time to train the software. These days, the software can be trained in as little as seven minutes. The out-of- the-box experience with Dragon NaturallySpeaking 10 is flat-out amazing. That said, it will take you a little bit of time to train your brain or compose messages or articles or e-mails by speaking them out loud.

You can type 150 words a minute using Dragon NaturallySpeaking and that’s typically 2 to 3 times faster than your average person can type. 2 to 3 times faster can save you a great deal of time and a great deal of money. This can enable you to spend more time with your family or be more productive at work and get more done and possibly a promotion or raise. Possibly the biggest benefit that you can experience is just staying on top of your workload with less effort.

If you consider also that Drew is looking off to the right a little bit as he’s composing, I will share with you a hidden benefit of Dragon NaturallySpeaking. When you use Dragon NaturallySpeaking, you are not locked into a position physically, where you have to stare at your computer monitor all of the time. When you don’t have the light on your computer screen glaring in your face all the time, you experience a great deal less eye strain. The muscles in your eyes can relax more, as you look around the room and change your focal point. You would be amazed at how much extra energy this will give you as your eyes, and the muscles in your eyes don’t get worn out as fast as they would if you sit at a computer and type all day long.

We often associate sore hands and fingers and wrists with typing, but typing also creates very sore eyes and can even lead to migraine headaches. Plus, it basically just makes you tired sitting in front of your computer. Using Dragon NaturallySpeaking, you can save a great deal of time and effort and keep your energy level high, because you’re not wearing out your eyes. With a wireless microphone headset like the one I’m using, you can even pace around your desk or exercise on a treadmill or bike machine while you write your emails!

Best regards,
Brett Bumeter

I love to talk. In fact, I love to talk a lot. That is why I enjoy blogging. I read about all types of things and want to share those things with my readers. I have a few hobbies that I enjoy talking about on my blog. The only problem with writing down all these things is that my fingers don’t move as quickly as my brain. There has to be a better way to get my thoughts out. How many times have we as bloggers wished we could get together to engage in conversation? I have had in real life meetings with my blogging buddies. It is an amazing experience. We have blogged together for many years and when we get together it is as if we are family. If only we could get our words down and entered into our blogs the way we have conversations together, life would be grand.

There is an amazing program out there that allows us to speak just as if we were having a conversation while our words are entered into our computers. You can see this new software program featured in the NYT on Dragon article. When I looked at Dragon Naturally Speaking’s features, I could see that as many words as can spill out of my mouth can be texted into the program! I would need to add punctuation to enable the written word to be typed into the program in an easily understood manner. The text can be edited to correct errors but I am not sure I would even want to make corrections. It would be awesome to have people read my words as they spilled out of me. They can get to know the real me!

Dragon Naturally Speaking, DNS10 is the newest, latest, greatest software. It is going to take blogging to new heights. Dragon Naturally Speaking can be used to blog about things as I am experiencing them. I can be in a traffic jam when something hits me that I want to say. I can use DNS10 to get my thoughts out at that moment. It sounds like this software will be my cup of tea.

The software is already available in two versions; the Dragon Naturally Speaking 10 Standard version that allows you to talk to your computer and watch your spoken words instantly appear in documents, e-mail and instant messages; and the Dragon Naturally Speaking 10 Preferred version which is preferred by small businesses and advanced PC users.

There are days when this business becomes difficult to manage. I suppose, it depends on how busy we are with customers. I am not complaining. I appreciate all those customers who rely on us to come into their homes and install new floors. They know we will do a great job.

I have been reading about a company that is determined to give solutions to make the day to day running of business smoother. ProActive Software is the only one I have found that focuses on small businesses like ours. They are strictly internet based. I like that! I’m off to check out more about this!

Read the following press release to see why I am excited to have found this company.

Press Release:

There is nothing like walking out of a shop, satisfied with your purchase, product in hand knowing that you have a face behind the sale.

The Internet in some ways has taken that assurance away from the customer and with the masses of choice only a mouse click away the thought of purchasing a product or service online can be quite daunting.

However, the software as a service (SaaS) industry in New Zealand is fast moving from futuristic idea to current day reality and companies offering SaaS are looking for ways to maintain the personal service which has been a big part of historical software sales.
ProActive Software has found great and personal service to be a key part in their success on the global stage.

CEO Julian Stone says customers have said they’re surprised to get such personal service when dealing with ProActive.

He says “Don’t make sales, build relationships. This is a necessary part of the SaaS business model. Look after your customers as they are the foundation of the business. It’s important to keep customers happy month after month to retain their business.”

Customers of their core product www.proworkflow.com, have told Stone that their dealings with people at other software companies, often based in the US, have been rude, lacked callbacks, with slow email responses, making many customers wary of using SaaS where they had little ability to have personal contact with their supplier.

However, Stone says when customers come across a company with good service, they tell people.

Stone has attributed ProActive’s excellent response time with sales and support enquiries to their customers satisfaction. When customers build their business on our servers and use our code they must know we will be there if something needs attention.

An average enquiry for ProActive, from point of contact, to response is typically 15-60 minutes, where most of ProActive’s customers had said average response times for other software companies was usually measured in days, not minutes or hours.

“If you want to make a sale, sell a good product. If you want to grow a business, sell good service. We’ve found that most referral sales now come in as a result of ProActive Software’s service,” Stone says.

As Stone says “ProActive have built their SaaS company they have always kept service as a top priority, knowing their focus would continually be tested and be drawn onto product development and administration.

ProActive Software knows it is extremely important to keep the level of service constant and high “Customers don’t care that we have ten times as many customer to look after, they don’t care we are on someone else’s problem, they want the high service level maintained – so as we grow we automate, simplify, and when necessary bring in additional resource a bit before it is really needed. It takes a while to build a reputation of not letting down customers, it does not take anywhere near as long to lose it,” Stone Says.

A note of interest:

Banks all over the world are offering different types of loans. People with poor credit find it difficult to get unsecured loans. Debt is among the major draining issues, that many people face every day and always look for better debt settlement while on the other hand public debt has become a complicated issue. Banks are offering bankrupt loans in order to drag the people out of their financial problems.
