Has anyone tried this software and what is your experience with it?

Seriously considering shelling out the $149................

I'm investing in it after taxes. I have a dyslexic daughter and it's HIGHLY recommended.

It's gotten a lot better over the years, it's not 100% but it works well enough.

I used it years ago when It was buggy and took about 2 hrs to program. I hear it works great now.

I have Dragon Dictation for my iPhone. It works fabulously! Speech-to-text that is ready to e-mail, text message, or copy to your clipboard! very handy app!

I work in a hospital and the docs here use it for dictation.

Goodness!! Thanks for reminding me. I got the program just b4 Thanksgiving for a present for niece in law school. LOL Then I found out she is using a mac now. I will have to install it on my windows.

Maybe your not such a bad man LOL

I'm not looking forward to having to train the program though.

I used this program years ago (version 3 or something) and recently got the new one (10). It has improved a lot and worked very well for me without any training. Then my son borrowed my headset for the weekend (several weeks ago) and I can't just go rummaging through his room now that he's moved out .

One tip--get a headset with a GOOD microphone. It can make a HUGE difference in how successful the program is in correctly 'hearing' you.
