NaturallySpeaking Deluxe and DragonDictate. IN THEORY, you could probably
operate your computer hands-free with Deluxe. In practice, the number of
macros you would need to do this would vary wildly depending upon what YOU do
with your computer.
Much, but not all, of the command and control facility of DragonDictate is
included in the NaturallySpeaking Deluxe macro language. The macros are
treated as "commands" and therefore there must be a pause (250 msec by
default) before and after the command is spoken. Within the command, you can
speak continuously. There are several other subtle differences in the
products.
I've had a client play Solitaire with NaturallySpeaking Deluxe -- without even
writing a macro.
The more you know about these products, the harder it is to answer your
questions completely!
