O/T: A Question
It would be cheap to find out. After rebate, version 12 is about the price of shipping.
http://www.newegg.com/Product/Produc...2182207&cm_sp= Use promo code EMCYTZT58843 for $60 off, plus the rebate - link on the page above May only be good for a day or so - newegg does 24 hour and 48 hour specials.

There is a joke in there somewhere. But I don't want to rile up the southern boys, so I will just leave it alone. |

The question I was asking, are any of them worth a hoot? You can start with the ads on late night TV followed by all kind of "Deals". Lew |

I tried Dragon about 6 months ago and found it lacking - badly. Voice Recoginition was at least this good 5 years ago, and it wasn't all that good then. That's a tough thing to pull off, and none of the vendors have really nailed it yet. -- -Mike- |

Anybody have any up to date experience with voice recognition software such as Dragon. My 16 year old son is quite dyslexic and has used Dragon for the past five or six years. I'm not sure what version he is on at the moment but its one less than a year old. He does quite well with it (at least exceedingly better than paper and pencil). I think he has mentioned that it has improved over the years (I'd ask him directly, but its Sunday morning and I don't expect him to be coherent for at least 4 more hours). He has, however, spent hours if not days training it. I've played with it myself, but have never invested the time needed to get it and myself trained enough to be effective with it. -- Frank Stutzman |

A Question
A quite-disabled friend has been using Dragon for quite a while. He likes it
a lot and says that it gets better with every release. Tom "Lew Hodgett" wrote in message b.com... Anybody have any up to date experience with voice recognition software such as Dragon. Years ago tried it's predecessor, Naturally Speaking, but it lacked a lot. Lew |

There is a learning curve, as there is with any program, and its not perfect. That being said, it does work well AFTER you get it to recognize how YOU speak. I had some material that I needed to copy from a source book for a talk I was giving. Being able to just read it into Dragon was really a huge help. Deb |

Many thanks to those who responded.
It would appear that the productivity of Dragon is directly proportional to the amount of work you are willing to spend developing solutions for your needs. So what else is new? Thanks again. Lew |
