If you're interested in alternatives try out Verbex's "Listen for Windows".  I
don't think (?) it's quite as powerful as Dragon Dictate (it requires
training),
but it costs a lot less and works great under windows.  I got it up &
running in
less than an hour.  They have both plug-in board and "stand-alone"
serial port 
versions of their recognizer.  

The comandy number is 1-800-ASK-VRBX.

Disclaimer:  I have no association with Verbex.  I just think their
product is
cool.
