Alfie Complete package

Advantages: you can talk at a normal speed
Disadvantages:

...Philips is one of the best voice software packages I have ever used. It can recognise your speech even if you are talking at a normal speed, unlike other voice software packages, where you have to talk slowly for the voice package to actually work.

If you are thinking of getting a voice recognition package, then I suggest that you get this one.... Read review
