What Are the Differences?

• DragonDictate permits you to verbally control your windows environment.
• DragonDictate allows you to dictate into ANY Windows application. This includes Word and Word Perfect.
• DragonDictate requires discreet speech. This means that a very slight pause (10th of a second or so) is required between each word.
• DragonDictate has robust 'voice marco' abilities. You can have paragraphs of text associated with a 'voice macro'. You can also control your application with 'voice macros'. (Voice macros are also available in NaturallySpeaking Professional Edition)
• DragonDictate works well on a Pentium 133 MHZ with 32MB of RAM.
• NaturallySpeaking comes in two versions, Personal and Professional Editions. With either version you speak in conversational continuous speech into Dragon's word processing program. Once you have dictated your text, you then cut and paste your document into any Windows application.
• NaturallySpeaking Personal Edition works well on a Pentium 166 or Pentium 200 with 48MB of RAM.
• NaturallySpeaking Professional Edition also supports robust voice macros.

Which Package Should I Purchase?

If your goal is to solely dictate original text, and you are well-handed (able to use your hands without hesitation or difficulty) then NaturallySpeaking will work very well for you.

If your needs are more varied. If you want to control other window applications verbally, or if you want to control your computer completely by voice, then DragonDictate is your ideal solution.

If you are still not sure which package is best for you then invest in NaturallySpeaking Professional. This version comes with an upgraded version of NaturallySpeaking along with a copy of DragonDictate Classic Edition.
