[Athen] Dragon with Windows 7

[Nettie Fischer]

Hello again,

I went through very short training session using the USB wired microphone
and surprisingly enough, dictation is more accurate hand appears with in the
document in a much shorter period of time, between 3 to 4 seconds to be more
exact.
This quick e-mail was produced using this system and the wired USB
microphone. I am now able to open a word document close word document save a
Word document or don't save; some of these options were not available using
the Bluetooth wireless microphone. Pooey!  [Smile] :-)

Regards,
Nettie Sand
