If you want to continue with your dragon nuance services you will need to pay an additional $100 after cost of dragon equipment.

    I read a lot of good reviews, which persuaded me to make the purchase. Unfortunately, I was left disappointed. I was attempting to use in MS Word, but the interface was not stable, and it was not at all plug and play, despite what was advertised. I admit some of it is user (me) error, but again, was hoping it would be intuitive and not require a steep learning curve. Once you get it working (finally), it does a decent job with standard vocabulary, but anything other then that is a real challenge.

    Its ok for long papers, but for me it's more work than typing. If you use this you have to edit carefully, and you have to speak all punctuation. Can be more work using it than just typing.
