>>Singles seems to give you the full >>10K DD product at a knock down price. True. It's also a more recent version of the speech engine than the UK DD10k, so generally a better buy if you don't mind retraining "period" as "full stop", and correcting the US spellings when you come across them (or disk-shuffling UK speech files). I think that the marketing is bizarre because Dragon couldn't get their "slugging" mechanism ready in time for release (to stop you using it with more than one app) . So what it says on the box is not what happens in practice. However, Solo does refuse to work wtith the noninstalled applications.
