I am interested in your experience in using this software with your digital recorder. Are you dictating - that is fixed distance from microphone, speaking to the machine? I have not been able to get good results with digital recording of lectures to an open room. Using the "teacher's voice" with a variety of pitch and volume and pacing seems to be beyond Dragon 9.

This past week version 10 has been announced. I am not sure enough of it to invest even the $99.00 they are asking for upgrade ... unless I get some tricks!

Thanks for a response if you have the time!
