Dragon Admits losing focus on "accessiblity"

In an Interview in NetLife "Dragon, according to Kempster, now focuses on
the mass market over what was once its main market: people unable to type
for reasons varying from birth defects to repetitive stress injuries.
Although its first product, DragonDictate, is still largely hands-free, its
latest, NaturallySpeaking, is not--though further accessibility development
is planned."

"Those of us with personal connections to our disabled customers are real
cheerleaders for maintaining that access," he says. "But there a lot of
people who would like to see us focus on selling a million, what's going to
sell to the most people and serve the most people well.""
