Hi Don,
We had a copy of Dragon Naturally Speaking to use with WordPerfect at my
office. I tried it and found it put in some words which I didn't say or
it misunderstood some of the words I spoke. However, it was amazing to
see what it could do. You can go to a training area in the program and
train it by pronouncing a word and then spelling it. It does take a lot
of time to train and you have to speak quite clearly and distinctly for
good results - at least with the version we had. If you are interested
in trying it, I just received an e-mail today that said Surplus Direct
is selling Dragon Naturally Speaking Preferred for $49.88 ($100 of the
regular price it says). Here's the info they sent me:
