Speech Recognition

[Susan Cragin]

The only way to get real speech recognition on Linux is to run Dragon NaturallySpeaking version 7, 8 or 9, using WINE. 
Version 9, only Preferred works. I think Standard and Preferred both work for versions 7 and 8. Forget Professional, Legal and Medical versions. 
Once you get them installed, they run as fast and as accurately as they do on Windows, provided you stick to text recognition. 
Text can be input ONLY into the included DragonPad program or the Notepad program that comes with WINE.
