Author of "The Writer's Guide to Training Your Dragon"
A few years back, I made the above video. It demonstrated how to train Dragon using your own stories and writing style by ignoring the built-in texts the program provided (notice the past tense). It’s not so relevant anymore as it was recorded using Dragon 13, which was discontinued back in 2018. But the idea behind it is as relevant as ever.
One of the things I’ve long advocated is that Dragon is only useful if it can be molded to your personal writing style. You need it to understand not just your voice but what you actually write – whether that’s non-fiction, historical romance, science fiction, horror or anything in between.
