Some people are getting good usage out of switching back and forth between
NatSpeak Personal (or Preferred) and DDWIN. They do things for which macros
are appropriate in DDWIN, use Personal for dictation. Realistically, this
works best when the person can type occasional words into NatSpeak for
corrections or for adding words with the Vocabulary Builder.
There is an upgrade from DDWIN Classic (or Power) to NatSpeak Deluxe. But,
it doesn't cost the dealer much less than a straight Deluxe Edition -- and if
the dealer is still selling stock from the initial Deluxe release, a full
Deluxe Edition may have cost the dealer less than the upgrade.
You will need to train for NaturallySpeaking -- but not for DDWIN. You do
need the DDWIN 3.0 (upgraded to 3.02) to switch by voice between NatSpeak and
DDWIN.
