Question Opinions about Dragon speaking software???

I see today on TV many commercials for this, promoting it with a price reduction to $75.00 with a free kit with it.

Is this worth while? Have the bugs been removed? I type an awful lot here, and wonder if this would be helpful and useful?
I have carpal tunnel and PN, but I do get by. Less typing would be helpful for me though.

What will it NOT do? They show it doing searches on Google!
Would medical words flub it up too much? Things like that.

Any comments appreciated!

As I speak, I am using Dragon naturally speaking. If you run across the word that it can't spell, you click on train tab, spell it out, then pronounce it and it will remember that word in its database.
I'm highly impressed with this program, and enjoy it very much since I don't like to type! The commands are very simple and very friendly to use. I didn't type 1 word here, I just speak it and it types it.
Hope this helps!
Gary
