Dragon NaturallySpeaking
These training materials were developed for Dragon NaturallySpeaking Version 5, but can readily be used with other versions of the program. At time of writing NaturallySpeaking is available as version 7, in Essential, Standard, Preferred or Professional variants (see NaturallySpeaking and dyslexic.com for more about the different versions.) We recommend the Preferred version (about £100) which lets you dictate into MS Office programs, play back your dictation, and has text-to-speech feedback for proof-reading your text.
