The good:

The bad:

  • Creating PDFs within FileMaker Pro 8 can be tricky
  • Test system occasionally crashed during help-file searches

      Dragon NaturallySpeaking 10 Preferred

      Dragon NaturallySpeaking 10 isn't perfect, but it's the best dictation software available. We don't find this upgrade necessary for the most basic dictation, although new features may benefit heavily-accented English speakers and those who rely heavily on voice commands.
