Frustration strikes
Having been using Dragon almost continuously for about five days, I suddenly hit a brick wall with regard to accuracy. Instead of my accuracy steadily improving, it seemed to get worse, until at one point I considered giving up in disgust. In an effort to try and improve what appeared to be poor audio settings, I tried running the Audio Settings Wizard a few times in the hopes that this would highlight what the problem was.
Yes I am practising!

I will be writing all of this using Dragon. So you’ll have to forgive the odd typing error.

The effect alternated between pins and needles and a burning sensation and seemed to be centred on a 1 inch square area on my wrist, just below the outer edge of the palm. The slightest pressure on this area set off the equivalent of fireworks in my hand.
