Still using dragon 6.0. If I was unable to use my thumb and restricted to voice I guess I'd cough up the cash. I have tried to be a beta tester but they didn't need my help. Guess they have enough crips. I've bought it three times, I figure they owe me their vista upgrade. I don't have vista but my computer is a 2002 compaq..its only a matter of time. Best comnputer I've ever had and it was a scratch n dent. Now that I've bragged on it I'm sure it will self destruct. Just curious, but if you have vista, do you even need dragonspeak anymore?

So I installed it and gave it a quick whirl. My impressions were favorable. I had tried a previous version, and had been rather unimpressed. This version installed easily (although it reported several errors that I chose to ignore) and seemed to work without any training. It was easy to figure out what to do, and when I had problems, I was able to figure out how to do what I wanted using their built-in help. I was disappointed that swear words weren't included, and that training them as new words didn't seem to work :-) But otherwise it was pretty good. I'm a fast typist, so I won't be trading in my keyboard, but if I had problems using a keyboard I'd definitely want a program like this. (I guess John McCain never heard [76] of this type of software). The basic package looks like it starts at about $100. If you call them, ask for Rachel Elias - that's the friend who sent the demo copy.
