Re: “ I would love to use that (you tawk, they type) as I have developed this annoying arthritis in my hands.”

Aside from the fact that I use templates like 'DearKathy' for most of my posts, I too have joint problems. I messed up my elbow about 20 years ago playing tennis, and I'm probably on the brink of carpal tunnel syndrome since my fingertips go numb if I do certain things with my wrists for too long.

Nuance is phasing out Dragon NaturallySpeaking. I think the company is going strictly into the Smartphone app business where they'll be able to charge people on a monthly basis for the use of their product. They might have also gotten sick of Microsoft with its biannual operating system updates that cause everybody's applications to break.

Dragon NaturallySpeaking Premium 13 is still on sale at Amazon. At $72.65, it's actually about a dollar fifty less than when I bought it a few months ago. Retail was $199, but I don't think it will be sold at all for Windows after the end of the year. Customer support will no longer be available for it at that time either. I'm betting on not having a need for customer support. I usually don't.

'Premium' is more expensive than 'Home edition' but it has some features I needed: The ability to create customized commands that are multiple words and/or lines long for instance, instead of just words. And support for my laptop's microphone. I never liked having to cart a microphone around with me.

For me, the added convenience and the relief 'Premium edition' gives my wrist makes it worth $72.65 easy.

Here's a link to my original post about it.

FYI, you have just been given your very own Dragon Naturally Speaking speaking command! It's called 'DearKathy' and looks like this:

Wow, I am really honored. Truly, I am. I didn't know you could do that (I know, a shocker), but I did know you used "dragon naturally speaking." I would love to use that (you tawk, they type) as I have developed this annoying arthritis in my hands. And at the youthful age of 39! Who would have thunk!

THIS IS A MIGHTY FINE group to be a part of:
It's an honor I bestow only upon my closest Cyber friends. You've just joined the ranks of Nemo, nacl, Zimbler0, micro, DG, Beldin and ribit.

Decomposed, I truly respect your posts in every way. But beyond what you submit regarding content, and it is obvious, your spelling, grammar and punctuation are superior.

Looks like we both get GOLD STARS this morning!

Again, thank you. Ohgod, I hope this means I am going to have somewhat of a normal day. It's still early here yet, so there's lots of time for some screw-up.
