Dragon NaturallySpeaking 3.52 was just released and is compatible with SAPI
4.0.  I believe Dragon Dictate is being phased out because NaturallySpeaking
is now supposed to be able to handle everything.

This is evidenced by Dragon Dictate no longer being included with
NaturallySpeaking Professional starting with the new release.  In fact, I'm
not sure you can even buy Dragon Dictate from Dragon anymore.

I have plans to attempt to drive my Stargate using ECS and Dragon
NaturallySpeaking someday, but I just haven't had the time yet.

Kevin,
One customer tried this with VR, but it did not work.
I am quite clueless as to whether it COULD work, and if
so, what would be required to MAKE it work.
You might want to ask Dragon if their software is
compatible with the MS SPEECH RECOGNITION API.
If NOT, I would need details regarding an API
or any other means by which another program
could monitor/control Dragon/VR.
