Good evening, before we start characterizing software good, or bad. I think we need to stop and try and think of who might be reading this. Most people it is true don't need dictation but some of us were actually have verified written expression disorders and other disabling conditions that require the use of dragon would be helpful to make certain that we keep those people than mine. Personally I do use Dragon because of the above-mentioned written expression disorder. I've only used version three until five have had no real problems with voiceover. But I also use a braille wdisplay separate from my normal computing experience. I know that there is some concern about being able to use the product by telling it what to do as far as screen motion I think though that you run the risk of entangling with VoiceOver and that could lead to some headaches. When I get the chance I will actually use version four and will see how good or bad it is with VoiceOver. The concerns that Dragon is inaccessible are not true. I have not had any problems using it after making a few modifications they are minor. The biggest thing one needs to remember is one should use the headset and keep voiceover and Dragon separate as far as
