Is it worth a damn?

Depends on how much a "damn" is worth to you.  I use it fairly regularly and like it a lot.  It takes some learning (by the program) to get it working.  I reccomend a higher end microphone than what comes with the software.  Check out some of the Dragon forums for some discussions on the best microphones.  You will also need PLENTY of memory and CPU capacity so that it can keep up.  What is your intended use?
