It's pretty funny, the rigamarole I went through getting this installed. I waited until I was ready to install Windows 7 on my laptop before installing it. I had DNS version 9, which turned out to be incompatible with W7. I deinstalled version 9, acquired version 10, installed it, and that's what I was running when I made the original post. After using it for awhile, I discovered that windows 7 has this capability built into it. The windows speech to text engine is the same engine as DNS, sold to Microsoft by Nuance. The interface and files used are a bit different so all the work I put into DNS was wasted.

I've been using the windows version for several weeks now. I like it and use it but can type so much faster. If I didn't have difficulty sitting at the computer or pain in my wrists and hands from too much laptop keyboarding and touch pad use I would stick with typing. For people with such limitations, this is great.
