My father and PIL have used the dragon products for several years very successfully. These are NOT tech savvy people like most of us, but the ability to have the app learn quickly, learn the speech patterns quickly, learn and add new words easily (often industry specific scientific jargon) and have the user be able to do it fairly easily is what keeps ME happy. It’s not cheap, between 99-150$ for personal use depending on which program one goes with.

they used to have a 30 days NQA trial so it can’t hurt to give it a try.
