I read another response in this forum and it was suggested that Dragon 
Naturally Speaking 9 works good in Wine, the Windows emulator.  I 
haven't as yet tried it, but I am going to.  I used to use Naturally 
Speaking for all my word processing.  It works super.  The programs that 
I use using Wine work the same as they do on Microsoft OS's.
