Yes I did Steve. I found it to be remarkably accurate and it does have the capability of surfing the web. I just didn't think it was good enough for me because it didn't have a good playback feature that I could find. Perhaps I didn't look hard enough, but I tried all of the help pages and just could not discover how to have the system play back what I said.
I think for people that have not used Dragon or are not intricately linked with the program it is a really good system. I recommended it to my brother for short e-mails and and other correspondence. That's just my opinion. I was extraordinarily surprised at how accurate it was. I have become accustomed to dictating and then going back later and correcting my errors, if there are any. When I do that it's difficult to know what I said if I'm correcting it about 10 to 15 minutes later and I'm not able to listen to the playback mode.
