OT OT OT Yes, it is. Read the system requirements carefully, though -- it's memory-hungry (32 megs, I think) and sucks up processor cycle time. But if you're like me and write a lot but suffer from tendinitis or carpal tunnel syndrome, it's absolutely worth it to upgrade your system if necessary. Incidentally, I tried IBM ViaVoice and didn't like it. You cannot correct or edit words without typing. With Dragon, you could write an entire book without ever touching the keyboard. Don't confuse NaturallySpeaking with the less expensive DragonDictate. The former is continuous speech recognition; the latter discrete (meaning you'd have to pause between each word). Is it available in in retaill out lets??
