I bought IBM ViaVoice before I knew about Dragon Dictate and Naturally
Speaking. If I could make that decision again, I would pick NS, even
though it costs more. There are very few people that report the kind of
satisfaction with ViaVoice that Dragon gets from users. Independent
reviewers also recommend Dragon over IBM.
ViaVoice is difficult to train to recognize new words, does not have a
voice correction feature, and demands more hardware resources. Go with
Dragaon.
