Hi Everyone,

There is a great combo program called Math Talk with Scientific Notebook
which will do a dandy job (easy to learn/train) which works with Dragon.
Goes all the way from simple math through physics.

If you need more info, please contact me.

Blessings,

>Hello, I am currently working with a student at Colorado State

>mouse which helps. His main issue is that he is an engineering student

>and is looking for a program that interfaces well with Dragon but will

>familiar with the engineering aspect so wanted to query all of you to

>see if anyone has experienced a similar situation and has any advice as
