PEABODY, Mass., April 11, 2003 - ScanSoft, Inc.

In its review, TECH Edge reported, "NaturallySpeaking improves on the 95 percent accuracy rate of version 6 by examining documents and e-mails on your hard drive to better understand how you write…Dragon NaturallySpeaking bests [other products] with its arsenal of features and smooth user interface."
