The Case of the Missing Letters: Another Obnoxious Bug in Dragon Dictate

January 16, 2012 By Stephen 6 Comments

What's a love-hate relationship without the love? Whatever that is, that's what I've got going with my copy of Dragon Dictate.

If you can keep your head when all about you are losing theirs…
