    I have an older version. I speak very clearly due to many years of theatre work acting onstage.

    I am a great writer and spot on with grammar, etc.
    I timed myself on a few jobs.

    I wrote article one in 30 minutes and have very minor errors when checking it.

    I wrote article 2 in 12 minutes BUT then spent the next 15-20 minutes editing it and remembering what I wanted to write instead of looking at what I actually wrote via Dragon.

    I decided writing was better than dictating/talking so I stopped using it.

      Train it the best you can, save your profile now and again and speak clearly. As Laurencewins pointed out, it does make mistakes. Quite a few of them too Stop after typing a paragraph, and edit. Anyway, I have Dragon 12. It has spoiled me, and I'm using it all the time.

        I tried it out but quit it, I guess it is because english is my second language, and it was having a hard time recognising the words. So I'm back to the long hard way of writing them but hope to see some great tips here I could use...
