Anyone use a Voice recognition software? Vist Voice vs Dragin Naturally Speaking

Tweet

For those writers out there that get tired of typing after a while or for anyone who likes to chat without typing, do you use a voice recognition software? Anyone who has Vista on their computer already has Vista Voice and all you need is a headset with a microphone. I just recently got my headset for my Vista Voice but am thinking of getting the Dragon Naturally Speaking software because I heard it works much better. Does anyone use Vista Voice for writing or chatting or do you use the Dragon Naturally Speaking software instead? If so which do you like better? I am having a hard time getting used to the Vista Voice. It works with wordpad pretty well but I am used to writing with MS works word processor because it has a word count. But when I tried to use the vista voice with the MS works word processor you have to say one sentence at a time until a box pops up and you have to click on the sentence you want to use. I don't like having to do that because it takes longer. I am trying to get used to using the wordpad but I like knowing how many words I am writing while I write them. I guess what I could do is talk the story or article out with wordpad and then copy and paste into MS works to use the word count on there. Have you used voice on your computer? How does it work for you?
