Thanks Dragon NaturallySpeaking, you've literally changed my life. I've actually been using Dragon, Every since 1998. That's When I Learned about Dragon Dictate Classic Edition 3.0. Unfortunately I am a victim of a valid crime. Which took place in the early 90s. I was shot in the neck, which paralyzed me from the neck down. I was a 20 year old college student with a life when it happened. After it happened, I felt like I've done a 360 to no life. I had not one urge to do anything but be angry. After I finally made it home, which was about 11/12 months after my accident. Fortunately after I met my first girlfriend :-). It was fortunate for me because, she was in school and for breaking up with me in 98 :-). She definitely tried encouraging me into going back to school. She had me so excited I wanted to register that next semester, and at the same time I really felt lost because I didn't know what to do or how to go about getting back into school. Being as though she was putting herself through school and taking care of me at the same time. I got caught up into my feelings for her to the point where as though I put myself on the back burner. At that point in my life for a brief moment I felt like I had my life back. Because she did everything for me. I was definitely dealing with a dilemma, because I felt as though I owed her everything. After a couple of years past I finally had the opportunity to show her my appreciation. So I ordered a nice brand-new fully equipped PC for her to continue her studies. Unfortunately it was too late because she broke up with me and left with another man. Fortunately I wasn't out of luck for to long. That following week my speech therapist introduced me to a software called Dragon Dictate Classic Edition 3.0. Every since I've made Dragon there has been no looking back. With Dragon's assistants I have been able to go back and finish school, find work and start my own business in graphic designs. I tell all my friends now that I have Dragon NaturallySpeaking on my side. I can do more than they could on their feet. Of course I was joking a tad bit. They didn't believe me anyway. Each and every one of them said like what? I immediately start telling them everything like, writing a paper, giving presentations, playing games, chatting with friends, paying bills, finding and making new friends, hanging out all night in club like chat rooms. They still didn't believe it. Until they've seen me in action with their own eyes. Now we are all active users of Dragon NaturallySpeaking software..I am so glad my speech therapist introduced me to the Dragon family because it gave me a purpose and my life back.. For many years now I wanted to tell my Dragon's story but never had the chance. Until now therefore I feel like I've already won. Again thanks for everything Dragon NaturallySpeaking :-) xoxo
