> Dragon Dictate is currently selling a continuous speech application
called
> "Naturally Speaking" for $299. I sponsored a demo of the product and was
very
> impressed. It also requires a computer running at 133 MHZ. It will run
> slooowly. 180 MHZ is the real minimum with considerable disk space and
memory
> (at least 32m). The product is not a disability accommodation. It works
in a
> separate application that you can cut and paste into any of the word
> processors. It does not do word processing or Windows95 commands. This is
> similar to the first generation of Dragon Dictate. Subsequent generations
of
> Dragon Dictate did work within Windows applications. I believe the
development
> of Naturally Speaking will be similar. However, Naturally Speaking will
work
> with Dragon Dictate which can be used as a disability accommodation. ASU
is
> purchasing several units for various types of accommodations. There is
only
> one laptop that is currently working with Naturally Speaking, a Micron
150.
