All of the commercially available ones suck. Some work better if you can fake an American accent though ;) (No I am NOT kidding)

Doesn't surprise me. Actually, it's for work, and they were looking at some of the more expensive ones- perhaps Dragonpro, or whatever it's called

DragonSpeaking Pro I am guessiing, although maybe they changed the name. I didn't like it. I found ViaVoice a little easier to train but still a pain. I have not yet used iListen so dunno about that one but I think it's mac-only.

Hmm, do you train it or does it train you? Back when I worked at Dragon, you could tell how long any given person had been working there, because after a while they all sound exactly the same.

It was Dragon Dictate I played with way back when it only ran on the DEC box. You trained it and trained it and trained it and prayed that you didn't catch a cold because you'd have to train it again...

Hmm - I know the feeling! Only use it for long essays - so much easier than typing - but you always have to proof read it really carfully! lol!
