Hi Mike,
While both the Dragon and MS Office speech tools can
use the MS Sapi 5 speech engine (
http://microsoft.com/speech)
the Dragon v8 systems
(
http://www.scansoft.com/naturallyspeaking/ )
have more functionallity and customization
features and can work outside of Office/IE/Outlook express,
but is, of course, an additional purchase. It depends on
the features you need if the Office version is good enough
=========
How does the voice recognition component of Office 2003 Premium compare to
Dragon Dictate?
Thanks,
Mike>>
