Chip! I don't know why J-Say is so expensive. I had nothing to do with it's development. I only introduced it to the United States. With J-Say for $345.00 you then need Naturally Speaking. There are several versions of Naturally Speaking that work with J-Say. The most common one used with J-Say is Naturally Speaking Preferred for $199.00 by itself or $180.00 with J-Say. J-Say is scripts with a lot of Naturally Speaking commands built in for specific applications like Outlook, Word etc. J-Say really does work and makes working with Naturally Speaking easy for JFW users.
