If they truly "need" speech to text then Dragon is not expensive. It
is a bargain.
This is a great example of people who are confusing two 4-letter words -
need and want.............
If they "need" it, the price is very reasonable. If they "want" it, it
is a bit expensive.

I suppose it depends what you want to do with it. I've heard good things about
Kurzweil products for special education. But then... you think *Dragon is
expensive*! Well.. take a look at Kurzweil. <Sly grin>
That said, I haven't looked at any of this software systematically in the last
2-3 years. So maybe the landscape has radically changed since I last looked.
