I bought the 13 premium as I would just need it for testing. I did call the company first and spoke to their sales people to ensure that was the latest upgrade and it did what I needed it to do.

Hi Aaron,

I am still using Dragon 13. I am still working to get web browsing to work but it's having time to do it. I am using it on Windows 10 and having no problems. My motivator was the presence of carpel tunnel syndrome. I am encouraged that other screen readers are starting to be explored. I also want to encourage people to go through the analysis process you did before buying anything, "What will I be using it for, and do I really need...?".

I wouldn't buy J-Say until you're sure you need it. I've managed to use Dragon 15 for dictation without it with few problems. However, when it comes to browsing the web, YMMV, as I haven't tried it for that.

Luck.

Aaron
