Subject: Re: Dragon Naturally Speaking, Version 4 vs. 5
I believe that if you have a powerful enough computer, Version 5 can be
quite beneficial. However, users of Version 4 should just retrain the
Version 5 software rather than trying to upgrade their Version 4 voice
files. Apparently, the recognition that one gets with upgraded voice files
is poor.
