What type of computer equipment is required to be able to use DragonDictate?
As a practical matter, a fast computer with a considerable amount of memory is needed. I have tried using the program on a Pentium 90 MHZ machine having 16 megabytes of memory and found this to be adequate to run both DragonDictate, WordPerfect for Windows 6.1 and one or two other programs at the same time. Any less memory is not recommended and more may be helpful. The program requires approximately 25 megabytes of hard disk storage for a single user of a computer and somewhat more storage space for additional users on a single computer. In addition, DragonDictate also requires a readily available sound card. You may be aware of the existence of sound cards through your children’s game and multi-media computer programs received during the holidays. A sound card is an electronic circuit typically costing one hundred to two hundred dollars. They are sold at local computer stores, electronic stores and even toy stores.
