Not worth the time to install the trial

Pros
It installed.
Cons
Dictation recognition worked 80%. But to correct 20% of the mistakes takes 80% of the time.<p>Once I switched to MSN chat it was so slow it took about 3 seconds per word. I can type with one finger faster.<p>Sorry, nice try, but back to the drawing board. I hear good things about the Dragon tool for $100.
Summary
Slower than my typing

Pros
Cons
This software relies so heavily on MS Speech programming, which is fine, but I find the MS speech software less problematic, so why add another layer? It really had zero capacity (despite doing lots of training w/ my software) to type anything close to what I said in many cases. At least one MAJOR mistake of "guessing" in every sentence. I don't have a huge accent, so I don't understand the problem. Once again, I found it easier to type than use this program then spend lots of time fixing the mistakes (and trying to remember what I could have said that sounded anything ilke what the program typed.) My awesome mic + MS's speech do just as well, which is to say that I'll keep typing.
