Hi Ana, and all,

You can find the Dragon Naturally Speaking program 
for under $100 on Amazon, quite often. On this 
deal at the link below, it's normally $99, but 
it's selling right now for $48.22.

Dragon is the one I'd get if I was going to be 
doing a lot of this from now on.


Strive On!
Everett
