Dragon Speech Recognition Software

[Autografe]

Anyone using this software? Is it worth the $80? I am a two fingered typist and would like to try it as I am thinking about going to graduate school.

I don't know about dragon, but windows, has speech recognition features you can install/enable and set it up.

I have it installed on my iphone, and it works pretty well. A real version would be even better.

Thanks wkcars: I too was toying with the idea of buying a speach rec program. I didn't realize MS had installed one in my Dell with XP. Ed

I think you'll find you can do a lot more with Dragon than with basic Windows speech recognition.

A doctor I shadowed uses it for dictating his notes and it seems to work well. He has to spell some words out but they're usually drug names or medical terminology.
