This software is highly recommended by one of the leading Rehab Centers. My daughter, who is paralyzed from the neck down, has used it,with the proper equipment, to send E-Mail messages and to make telephone calls.

Great book if you have the very old version 4. Dragon naturally Speaking is up to version 9.5 and has changed drastically since this book was printed.

This book refers to version 4 of the Dragon Naturally Speaking program. The current version is number 9, and is very significantly different from version 4. I don't know why this book is being offered for sale. Do not buy it.

This book used to be useful but is now eight years out of date.
To learn how to use the latest version of Dragon, check out the Dragon NaturallySpeaking 9 "Video Guide" and "QuickStart." They are CD-ROMs that play on your computer. I am the author of both of these titles. They are available on Amazon:

This book is seven years old. It was written for version 4.0. We are now up to 9.0.
Avoid it.
