I have two uncles who swear by it, one is a heart surgeon and he uses it to dictate emails, billing stuff, memos etc he LOVES it! The other uncle is a quadriplegic who has limited motion in his hands, he also thinks its great.
I bought it for my DD then 17 to try to help with her writing issues (great verbal ideas but serious difficulty with producing written work in a timely manner, we still don't know why - possible disorder of written expression, dysgraphia, anxiety,PDD-NOS or a combo).
She got so frustrated trying to teach it to understand her that she gave up (she also have slight articulation difficulties that are barely noticeable but may have impacted it) also, she is a perfectionist and stopped to correct every word that was wrong immediately. I have since read others advice to turn the computer away and read the whole thing, then go back and correct the mistakes, this makes a lot of sense but my DD isn't interested in trying it again. Maybe we'll bring it up again after she finished her neurofeedback therapy, that might help her with the patience required to set it up.
That's a great price, I paid 199.00 :-(
