I was referring to DNS5 versus ViaVoice 6/7. I am glad to have your views
in
VV8 and will have a good look at this now.
However, DNS5 can be operated entirely hands-free and the other things you
mention can also be done. The shut-down cannot be done by voice in DNS5 and
I do not know if it can in DNS6. I will look at that now.
What do you mean by "the extra commands in Dragon"? I am intrigued.
With kind regards
