An accident disabled a friend recently. He purchased a computer, including the software for Dragon Naturally Speaking. I have been attempting to assist them and installed that software on my computer as well. I am able to dictate with moderate success in the basic program. But, as I understand it, I should be able to speak commands to open programs from the Start menu and inside of many programs. I have not been able to do this. My computer is an Aptiva with AMD-K6 processor and 184 mb RAM. Any suggestions would be appreciated.
