It has been buggy in my system and requires a great deal of tolerance. When working well, its great but it's so variable. I'm currently using v3.0--its vastly superior to install and will use any standard sound card which makes it nicer under win95. I've saved at least $5-7,000/year in transcription costs but it takes me longer to voice dictate than use the regular dictophone transcriber so much of it comes out of my hide. I'm not ready to recommend it to those who aren't tolerant of bleeding edge technology. %%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%
