I use Dragon Naturally Speaking all the time. It is truly fantastic, and I do not use J-SAY. I have an expired license for J-SAY, and it might be useful on my home computer. I cannot use it, however, on my work computer, and I'm afraid anyone who tries to use J-SAY in a highly secure work environment will have troubles. I gave up on J-SAY after an aborted attempt by our IT Department to install it. It may have been J-SAY's copy protection system, or it may have been our hyper-secure environment. The two never played well together, and finally, did not play with each other at all. Perhaps J-SAY has relaxed its copy protection scheme. I know our security restrictions are now at least 3 times higher. I, therefore, use Naturally Speaking with JAWS by itself. Training is a little challenging, as I recall, though training persists from version to version. There are some settings that are pretty crucial, but if you get the settings right, you should be fine. The problem is that I no longer have the documentation for optimal use. I would send the settings documentation if I had it. One thing I do remember is that Naturally Speaking must be operated from the System Tray. There is also a screen-reader friendly mode, and that helps with menus. Without J-SAY, you will not hear JAWS read back text as you dictate. That takes some getting used to, but reviewing the text, using the keyboard, is pretty easy, and Dragon Naturally Speaking is now, almost as advertised, 98% accurate. It won't be that accurate immediately, but over time, it improves. So, do not give up on it after only a couple of days. -----Original Message----- From: Jfw [mailto:[email protected]] On Behalf Of Les Kriegler via Jfw Sent: Sunday, September 6, 2015 4:35 PM To: 'Jim Hamilton'; 'The Jaws for Windows support list.' Cc: Les Kriegler Subject: RE: Using JAWS & Dragon Naturally Speaking at the same time Jim, J-Say has extensive documentation on all of the functions supported. It's really some of the best documentation I have ever seen. I believe the cost for J-Say is around $600, I know the price dropped when version 13, the latest version was released. I have not used Dragon by itself, and have not really explored their documentation either. I do know that without J-Say, one would have to use the keyboard to review dictation, and for those who have difficulty using the keyboard, this would be a problem.

Also, how do the prices compare? Thanks.

With J-Say, dictation is echoed automatically. I did need to lower my resolution on my Surface Pro, as the default setting was too high, and dictation was not echoed. Once making this adjustment, it works well.

Is it worth it? How well do they work together?
