    Wasn't sure where to put this thread as there doesn't seem to be a forum for Software Reviews. (Or so I'm lead to believe...)
    I've been looking at this little piece of software: http://www.nuance.com/dragon/index.htm
    Has anyone had experience in using it as a writing tool? Being a serial procrasinator, I'm interested in using it to help me dictate a novel but I'm looking for reviews from other users before I try it out.
    Hope this is in the right place. :)

    DNS is the best software there is, however, it is not as easy as you may want it to be. It still does require training, spell & grammar checking and indeed proof reading.

    Don't let me scare you, it's a great program but don't expect it to be solution for all your woes. ;)

    To be honest, if you've got Win7, the built-in software is pretty damn impressive. You'll want a headset (webcam or desk mics - unless they're very good - tend to suck) to help with speech quality, and a fair bit of time to let it learn your voice, but after two hours of dictating and correcting IM conversations (after the built-in setup which took a bit) it was very nice to use.
