Technology experts:
I use a voice to text program (Dragon) at work. We have an older, purchased version, the vendor (Nuance) now only rents software. The function was always a little buggy, but with recent updates it has become much worse. It appears they are sabotaging the purchased version in order to drive sales for software rental. I would like to buy something from a different company if possible.
For any of you who use voice to text programs, what do you use and what do you like about it?

Google Read & Write is free, and it can easily be added to Chrome as an extension. I'm not sure that I would be paying for that sort of thing anymore. There are plenty of free options out there.

Re: Voice to text
The problem is that Dragon has the specialty market on lockdown, or at least didnthe last time I looked. They have the best special words databases, and their training feature is (was?) Head, shoulders and a chunk of torso better.
It sucks that they are scheming to force people into a SaaS model. Can you rollback the updates and block new updates to buy some bridge time?
