Hi All... I'm going to be a trusting optimist for the moment and believe this Nuance/Dragon 10/CircuitCity.com deal is legitimate.
If that is the case, does anyone know the difference(s) between Dragon 10 and the recent version 9.5? (I bought v.9.5 almost 2 years ago in Dec. '07). I use a bluetooth headset/mic that doubles as my home phone headset (a Plantronics phone -- not a headset included with Dragon). What are the improvements in this new Dragon 10? I didn't notice anything special at first glance. Anybody else? Thanks a bunch! --Tod (cautiously optimistic) ---- Daniel Espinosa <[email protected]> wrote: > in theory it should work, Windows 7 is a lot like Vista, it might need a > patch or something and with my experiences they are always free. > > John S. wrote: > > Uhm, Circuit city is not in business around here.
