Besides having to correct yourself after every mistake. But that's alright. Very informative post. They just came out with Dragon 11 and <a href="http://www.1dragonsource.com" rel="nofollow">Dragon Medical</a> 10.1.

I've been taking notes and organizing them by hand because I don't have the time to memorize the voice edit commands, so it's just a replacement for typing. But I'd recommend contacting nuance and asking about their return policy and some questions about your non-msft apps. GL, a/ @Tom, it really depends what you’re using it for.

Here's a question that is perhaps more within your speculative realm: If you were in my shoes (access to notepad, or some other 'questionable' application that may not work in the fully-featured way), would it still be a worthwhile investment? I'm a theology student - lots of papers and sermons and what-not. I appreciate your POVs before I make this financial commitment! :) Peace, Tom Thanks for the insight, guys.

The text-to-speech works everywhere (notepad, text fields in firefox, ect) but it'd be editing commands and/or controlling windows (save/open new doc) that might be affected.

My guess is that by "trickier" they mean that you can't select text by voice and/or apply commands by voice (i.e. "cap that"). If Andy can't check though, I'll check for you in a little bit. @Tom, interesting question.

All I can find is what is in the Cnet review - that it was "trickier" than other doc apps, but what does that really mean? "Trickier" as in inconvenient, or as in, don't bother? If you have any experience with either of these, if you wouldn't mind saying a word or two about it, that would be so helpful.
