3. Any positive/negative opinions about it?

Thank you kindly
I've tried the speech recognizing software several times. The last time was just a few months ago when I purchased and used Dragon Naturally Speaking 9.

It works but I found it easier to type than it was to speak in a manner which allowed the software to accurately recognize my speech.

There is quite a bit of training involved in getting good output. In the end I decided it was not for me. I suspect some others may love the same product.
