I will actually need J-Say since I am totally blind. It will help me identify if DNS is working as it should while I perform manual testing of web pages.

Thank you so much for the information. I will research J-Say and run everything in a virtual machine before I install it on my production machine.

Hi, That version of Dragon is fine but you need J-Say in order to use JAWS with Dragon. I.e. speech input and speech output working together. If your purpose for buying it is to confirm that speech recognition works and you do not need to use JAWS, then you should be fine. J-Say is available at http://www.hartgen.org/

Hi Folks,



I need to buy DNS to manually test web pages and basic Windows applications as people with disabilities use it. Will this Premium version be ample for what I need?

I don't need the Pro and pick legal or any other profession. I just want the one that those with limited keyboard or mouse access use to control their Windows environment and the Web.



I also will be using DNS with JAWS 18. Do I have to do any preconfigurations or simply install DNS and I am good to go?
