I have just been offered a special upgrade to Dragon 12. Would you say then that it’s worth upgrading? I didn’t want to jump into it blindly but it sounds like you like it?

I strongly agree which what you have written. The tree and the search function were top-notch, and extremely useful. It’s sort of a “life-changing” software for the disorganized person. Version 3, running on Windows 95, did the job, for those two functions worked perfectly. I am now trialing Version 10, and in my opinion, it is a mess. The calendar and address book are both untenable, and the whole programme is a little bit unstable. The editor is sufficient for my needs, using keyboard commands for the most part.
[[BTW: when I paste Open Office documents into a note, I get “”“”“Version:1.0 StartHTML:0000000168 EndHTML:0000002356 StartFragment:0000000630 EndFragment:0000002339 “”“” or whatever numbers, at the beginning of whatever I paste. However, only OpenOffice has that problem, so it is an incompatibility between the two programmes. ]]
Tonight, I will download and trial the 30-day version of IS 2007 (IS 9.) http://www.miclog.com/is/2007/down.htm

OT: Dr A, it’s worth looking at the review in this forum: http://www.knowbrainer.com/forums/forum/messageview.cfm?catid=4&threadid=14733&enterthread=y
and also some of the other threads there on DNS 12, if you haven’t seen them.

Ach. UR can do everything I mentioned and more - which seems to me to be a lot better than the other outliners mentined. So if it is an anticlimax then a Mercedes truck is a disappointment compared to a weelbarrow. For some maybe.

I love it. I’m not exactly sure how much better it is, but I use Dragon all the time and having the latest seemed reasonable. The discussion at Knowbrainer is very good. Version 12 seems faster and it is easier to make corrections it also seems to fall over less frequently. I have a Fujitsu converable tablet with 8 G ram, i5 processor, 500 G HD and usually run originlab (or Matlab), Ultra Recall (definitely not a let down), dragon, Corel draw, mabe excel and firefox and thunderbird at the same time. Usually no problems unless I use Chrome or Internet Explorer and Outlook which bugger up the system and it slows to a crawl. If your daily bread depends on writing then DNS 12 is a good upgrade/investment.
