Dragon is a voice recognition program you can use when you have trouble typing. It appears to be very helpful with Parkey's who have strong tremors.

What have your experiences been with the Program, Good or Bad?

It's fantastic! If you are in the U.S. and still working--even a little--your local Office of Vocational Rehab may be able to help you get it.

Can you tell us which version you're using? I bought my v. 12 Premium 2-1/2 yrs. ago but never could get it up and running. The Bluetooth headset left me totally baffled, and there was (in those days) no way to contact the company. I see now that has changed. Thanks, Eric

I had the same problem. The Bluetooth headset was terrible I got a USB headset what is wired and it works great I think it might help with my softer voice at times because I have to project. I've used it over the past two years and have got it setup just the way I like it was all my extra phrases and words

I used it several years ago for school and work due to an injury. I broke my fingers and couldn't type. It was long enough ago that i don't remember the version, but it was very good.

I understand that it is a software? Do you know of any other instrument or gadgets which may make my voice audible?

Thanking you,

Sorab

I have used it for years. I use the Mac version. It's not perfect but a lot better than hunt and peck.

Works excellent for me. Take some time to learn it, but it pays off.
