I use Dragon Standard Edition, which does not work with Outlook email, at least as a remote user. I simply open Dragon Pad or Word, dictate my email there and copy it. This might be thought tedious but I also find it is very easy to miss mistakes in dictated material as they don't show up in the way traditional typos do. Copying the material onto a different format often helps me find additional errors. Curiously, Dragon Standard works fine with Yahoo! Email - but I still tend to do the copying process, both to find mistakes and because my dictation gets understood as commands some of the time.

[mailto:[log in to unmask]] On Behalf Of L Gault, Planning and Administration Support Sent: 10 November 2004 14:02 To: [log in to unmask] Subject: Email and Dragon Apologies for cross posting. Dear all, I'd like to find out what email packages individuals are using with Dragon Naturally Speaking. How successful has this been and whether there are any good workarounds when it comes to packages that are not supported by Dragon? At the University of Bristol we use an email package called 'Mulberry' which does not seem to be compatible with Dragon. The other possible option at present is using Simeon. But again this doesn't seem to be compatible. At present the University doesn't support the recommended packages: (as taken from the user guide) America Online(r) versions 8 and 9. Only one version of version 9 is supported. Please check our Web site for the correct version information: www.ScanSoft.com/NaturallySpeaking/support/ | Microsoft(r) Outlook(r) versions 2000, XP, and 2003 (Professional and higher editions) | Microsoft(r) Outlook(r) Express versions 5 and 6 (Professional and higher editions) | Lotus(r) Notes(r) 5, 6, and 7(Professional and higher editions) This is obviously something that needs to be addressed here to support our Dragon users. What do other organisations use and how successful is it? Any advise gratefully received.
