Default Dragon Speak

http://www.qvc.com/qic/qvcapp.aspx/v...yle-Speechpack

I know many here use or want to use Dragon Speak. I saw this special offer on QVC this morning and thought I'd post about it here in case any of you are interested in it.

I've never used it but this seems like an incredible value. And you have 30 days to try it out. If you don't like it you can send it back for a refund.

Hi Kitty,

I hope I'm understanding your post correctly. Are you commenting on the computer software Dragon Naturally Speaking allowing total voice control of your computer vs. using a mouse and keyboard?

The link you posted took me to a page with really ugly shoes.

My brother is a senior manager responsible for all disabled accommodation needed for employees of the CIA. I was trying to learn Windows 7 Speech Recognition and he got me the Dragon Naturally Speaking Home version 11. What a world of difference in all aspects of this software.

I noticed recently the product can be obtained through Amazon.com for under $50 while at the same time the Nuance company was showing commercials for the same thing on TV for $94.

This software is playing a big part in the writing of my book and I'm expanding my abilities to internet, forums, and emails.

So, I ask again Kitty, is this what you're talking about?

The link worked for me and the low price includes the headphones. It is a real deal...

Still had to look up Dragon on QVC and found it is the same package offered on Amazon.com but at a slightly higher price.

Dragon Naturally Speaking Home 11 But the QVC pricing is the best I could find as of now on the resources I know of on the internet. Plust $5.50 for S&H isn't a bad deal either.

So yes, it is the best deal out there right now.

Hi Craig! Don't you want a pair of those Clarks? They'd look mahvelous on you!

The Dragon Speak was the "special value" on the day I posted it and apparently the shoes are the "special value" today. I changed the link to show the computer software. Thanks for pointing that out.....I'd have never caught it!
