I have used Dragon 7, 8 and 9 and I really didn't find 9 being much better than 8. I was quite disappointed as they are quite pricey.. I started out with the very first Dragon for DOS and then I also had another Dragon before Dragon 7, which was not professional and did not work very hands-free. When I got a laptop and other computer that I use in bed, I needed professional for hands-free . I have purchased my Dragon 8 and Dragon 9 through know-brainer. I don't know of anybody else has had this problem, but when I try to turn on Dragon 9, it will not come on with my voice ever, even though I keep training. It is quite disgusting. Dragon 8 almost always turns on. It really is irritating when you have somebody reboot your computer and you & may have to wait for it to finish rebooting, before they can turn on the microphone. I haven't checked to come on. Has anybody else had this problem. It also seems like Dragon 9 will close more than Dragon 8.. it also brings up the Dragon window which you have to click close when I say reboot Dragon using KnowBrainer, you cannot click on close, before Dragon is ready and the microphone is on. I have re-loaded the Dragon program to see it that helped. Dana Dana
