| 728798 | 2008-12-13 21:56:00 | Hi All Has anyone got a Dragon Naturally that they have no use for? One that you don't use. An older version if you have upgraded to a newer one. A new version 10 at Dick Smiths is about $325. Not even Father Christmas would pressie me one of those!!! PJ |

I don't know if its Operator trouble or the PC just not capable of running it correctly. Thats one feature I like in Vista - the inbuilt Speech Recognition - works good. |

| 728800 | 2008-12-13 22:09:00 | W..Thanks for that. We have got Office 2003 Proff & it IS on there. I think Dragon might be better. What say you? PJ | Poppa John (284) | ||
| 728801 | 2008-12-13 22:26:00 | Is there a trial version you could try and see if it's any good? | jwil1 (65) | ||

| 728803 | 2008-12-14 00:07:00 | Hi PJ. Voice recognition is a free part of my Vista Home Premium. I use it frequently and it now recognises my way of talking really well. I had a much earlier version of Dragon (I believe it it now about version 10 or even highter) and, without a doubt, the Vista is far easier to use does a far better job. I recently dictated, party translated and edited a grandmother's papers/diaries, sitting back comfortably in an easy chair. Certainly beats typing. | Scouse (83) | ||
| 728804 | 2008-12-14 02:39:00 | Dragon Is far better Than $m But both need to be trained correctly | beama (111) | ||
