    hi,
    I don't know of any list.  I use version 9 without jaysay.  I cannot access 
all of the features but it works well enough for me.  I keep a list of commonly 
misrecognized words and have my daughter fix them in dns about once a month.  I 
still use ms word spell checker to make sure everything has come out okay.  
Just one word of caution, If you don't have a braille display and you are 
depending on jaws to read the results of your dictation, you may miss things  
because jaws will read phonetically.  For example, if the number four is 
written in stead of the word f o r. 
    If you want to work out problems together you can email me at
  c.menges@xxxxxxxxxxx

Thanks,

Christine

  Subject: DNS blind users list


  Is there a mailing list or web site for blind users of Dragon 
NaturallySpeaking?  I just got Preferred version 10.  I would like some tips, 
especially setting up keyboard and anything else to make using the program 
better with Jaws.  Looks tricky choosing keyboard commands for DNS that don't 
conflict with Jaws.

  I did do the initial setup and training. Didn't have to much trouble.  I 
chose the longer method of training as it is less strict and seemed like it 
would be easier to do with Jaws.

  I haven't actually tried any dictation or voice commands yet as I'm to tired 
after the training session.

  The main toolbar is fairly easy to get around but I wonder if I should dock 
it.  There are so many options, it would be nice to get tips on what options 
will make DNS more Jaws friendly.

  I hope I can use DNS without having to invest in 
  J-Say.    

  Bob
