>> you could have a hardware problem-- maybe a sound card that isn't optimal for voice recognition. In fact, I just read the other day (and I'll be darned if I can remember where) that many popular sound cards, specifically the Sound Blasters (except for very latest) do especially poorly with Via Voice (and to a lesser extent Dragon Dictate). Whereas both of these can do quite well with other cards. My memory tells me Turtle Beach, but I DO NOT remember for sure, so please do independent verification if you're looking for a sound card for these products. Also please tell me. Some day in the next year or two I'm going to split for one, I expect. Which is partly why I'm here now. I have no firsthand knowledge of these products, but I've followed the field from a distance with great interest for many years. I am inclined to believe also that this is possibly one of the next great technology breakthroughs. Dragon in particular seems to be closing in on genuine continuous speech recognition. Clearly a long way from perfect, but now approaching feasibility, or so I conclude from my casual reading. Regards, Spots
