I just downloaded Dragon 13.0
Noticeably more accurate--With the FlexyMike or the TravelMike, close to 100% accuracy.

It also will automatically upgrade the 12.5 profile -- though the documentation says it will not. So upgrading turns out to be a snap.

The Smartphone microphone app works better, and is also close to 100% accurate.

The Dictation Box comes up automatically and quickly as you talk, if you are dictating into an unrecognized field, and doesn't lose any dictation, so there is very little delay.

The 13.0 version finally makes the built-in microphone in my X220T usable -- it isn't 100%, but will work in a pinch.

Now, when I say 100%, I don't mean it can figure out homonyms or differentiate "colon" and ":" or "period" and "." -- but with care in dictation, it transcribes everything almost perfectly, and you can at least figure out what it was supposed to be.

Thank you Tom Hamilton and KnowBrainer. I have learned a lot about dictation and transcription from you, and even though EMR turns me into a transcriptionist and file clerk, this is a huge help in making it work for me.

I am about to buy one of the Andrea sound cards to use with the FlexyMike -- you said that for close-mike applications it will work as well as the SpeechMatic Multi-adapter.
