I use mine with just jaws and a couple of borrowed eyes here and there.

Peter From: Pat L Sent: Saturday, February 21, 2009 5:35 PM To: jfw@xxxxxxxxxxxxx Subject: RE: jaws and dragon naturally speaking Jeffrey, I have experimented with DNS 10 and have been very favorably impressed. The speech recognition out of the box without training was remarkably good. I was able to dictate a few test e-mails with surprisingly good results. However, there is a steep learning curve to master this feature rich program. The program is cheap - I was able to buy it from Nuance on a promotion for around $50. If you are willing to make the investment and devote time to the learning process, it might work for you. As of now, I can't afford the time to use it consistently, but that may not be true for you.

HTH Russell From: Jeffrey Schwartz Sent: Saturday, February 21, 2009 3:41 AM To: jfw@xxxxxxxxxxxxx Subject: jaws and dragon naturally speaking I'm in my early sixties and between contact sports when young and sighted and decades of copious typing, I fear that I have developed arthritis in my hands. I'd like to use Dragon. The party line from FS is that one can only do it with Dragon Professional and the T and T consultancy intermediate program. I believe that I have heard one or two on this list say that they use Dragon Naturally Speaking directly with jaws. I'd be grateful for any feedback on this issue
