Good but not great and certainly not perfect - Version: 1.5.6, 11/6/2009 09:05AM PST

I use it every day and find indispensable. It copes with my difficult technical vocabulary. A Brazilian colleague finds it copes perfectly well with his accent. But I have sympathy with the negative comments, too. It is pretty flaky and it crashes a lot. They need to put a lot more effort into cleaning up the bugs.

In July I purchased the 1.5 upgrade, which was absurdly overpriced at $54.95 for an incremental upgrade and bug fix. On top of it, I had to pay a $31.77 delivery charge to Canada. People mail me disks all the time from the U.S. for a couple of dollars. A month later I receive a bill for brokerage fee from FedEx for another $18.
So I paid $50 for them to mail me a disk on top of the incremental upgrade, for a total of $105.
I can hardly wait to see what they'll charge for version 2.

But this 1.5.6 version is not working. I think it's a problem with the interaction with MS Word. The enhancement was to be able to turn off the Auto Cache, which is something I wanted. But now I can't run Word and Dictate at the same time or else Dictate crashes at random times.
I recommend it because it's the only thing out there.
