Preferred Mobile adds a digital voice recorder. Preferred, for $199, includes software voice commands as well as support for mobile devices. If you only need a tool to type as you talk and don't want to dictate commands to software or for Web searches, then opt for the $99 Standard edition of Dragon NaturallySpeaking. You'll also need a noise-canceling headset microphone, a 16-bit or equivalent sound card, and a DVD drive. (ViaVoice for the Mac, which uses Nuance's technology, is no longer updated.) It requires 512MB of RAM and 1GB of free hard-drive space. Dragon NaturallySpeaking 10 runs only on Windows XP or 2000 SP4 or higher or on Vista, so Mac users are out of luck.
