My primary PC operating system uses the Linux kernel, which provides many powerful features, great flexibility, and strong security. Unfortunately, Nuance's outstanding Dragon NaturallySpeaking software is not currently capable of running on a GNU/Linux operating system.

I will buy a version of Dragon NaturallySpeaking that is compiled to run on the Linux kernel just as soon as it offered, even if I already have a license to a Windows version.

Offering such a version will help people like me finally make their long-sought transition to Linux for desktop computing. It will also allow Nuance to open a brand new market for its products, for just a small fraction of the costs it has incurred to develop and acquire the language modeling and recognition technology that drive them.
