I have used Dragon occasionally for a number of years. However, in early 2006, I was unable to write or type due to surgery on my writing hand. I began using Dragon every day to write briefs, prepare emails, write letters and memoranda professionally. I also began to use Dragon for my personal correspondence as well. During that time, I could not even have my secretary prepare items I had dictated because I could not write to correct and revise the drafts. Although my secretary was a bit nervous when she first saw me using Dragon, she has learned that it would never be a replacement for her valuable assistance; rather, it would be the extra "right hand" I needed.
While my hand healed completely, I have continued to use Dragon regularly, both professionally and personally. It has revolutionized my written work and has continue to be my extra "right hand." I have also told my colleagues about this program and some of them have begun to use it as well. They also believe it has been invaluable to their efforts.
