I have used the basic dragon and I have used a professional dragon (version seven).  With the professional version you have use of more commands using the Internet, the ability to use a dictate machine to transfer speech files, use with Microsoft Excel, Microsoft Access, more shortcuts, the ability to train your own commands, filling out Internet forms, opening and closing programs easier, larger vocabulary, and more options to control speech.  The training is a little bit more intense but pretty easy and straightforward.  Writing Web addresses and e-mail addresses are a lot easier also.  I am a C5-C6 complete and I type with a typing splint however I use it less than 5% of the time when using Dragon NaturallySpeaking Professional during an entire session all about three to four hours.

There looks to be differernt versions of Dragon Naturally Speaking 8, Professional, Medical, Legal. It implies the Professional is better for the disabled? If so, why?
