Quadius,
As you have already surmised below, if you are not going to be taking advantage of the Professional edition's ability to write complex macros and scripts to automate the execution of multiple commands with a single voice command, the significantly cheaper Preferred edition should be more than adequate and should provide the ability to create custom single action commands like "type e-mail address." The Knowbrainer software supposedly works with all versions and editions of NaturallySpeaking, but I have not confirmed this independently. I requested a free or evaluation copy from the distributor a few weeks ago, but have not heard back from them yet.

This is a bit steep if you ask me, so I guess I'll be waiting a little while. I sadly missed the sale they had for about $150. Just thought you all might like to know. Remember, this is for the professional. I also noticed a Matrix which compares all of the types of NaturallySpeaking. I can probably get away with using NaturallySpeaking preferred because I don't even know how to write any of the complex macros to make things a lot quicker. According to this matrix simple script commands (type e-mail address) would work. This is primarily what I use, but I don't believe Knowbrainer software will work with preferred. Steve will know more about the subject than I do, so I will defer to him. Quadius http://www.nuance.com/naturallyspeaking/resources/product-comparison.asp
