Beware of the many pirates on Ebay selling Dragon Preferred / Standard 9.5 at about 1/5 of retail cost. They have no manuals and dodgy microphones. But most disturbing of all what they do is:
Each version of Dragon Naturally Speaking 9 allows for 5 installs ( in case you reformat or change computers) then you cant register it again without contacting nuance.
So these dodgey ebayers buy 1 copy of retail Dragon software and sell it 5+ times. So EVENTUALLY if not immediately the people who buy these dodgey version cant activate their product as one person may have installed twice! In other words the product is useless.This will ALWAYS happen eventually so 100% of these buyers will blow their money eventually. Avoid these ebayers at all costs.
Heres some examples of this
http://myworld.ebay.com.au/speech.recognition/ Already starting to get the negative feedback and some comments about photocopied manuals.
Also this looks the same http://myworld.ebay.com.au/nicechild/
We've had a lot of calls from people burnt by this but franky when you can see this software at 1/5 retail price then you get what you deserve in my opinion.
