I have also read through that thread. If you also read what Chucker mentions
as a stockholder, he seems to think it highly unlikely that Microsoft would
be able to take it over.
Here is a snippet of Chucker's post.
Third, Microsoft couldn't take it over because the SEC wouldn't approve it.
Microsoft is still under antitrust scrutiny and taking over Nuance would not
be a good move because it would simply eliminate all the competition. In
addition, Nuance has recently acquired Voxforge and eCopy. Apple & Google
might be interested, but my suspicion is that any takeover would be hostile.
Besides, the current going stock price for Nuance is still two dollars lower
than the stock price was two months ago. There is no reason why Nuance
would go willingly. At this point I think it's just a lot of horse pucky.
It could very well be that the rumor was started purely for the purpose of
raising stock prices. Nevertheless, I agree that it will be interesting to
see how this pans out. The only problem is that whatever happens doesn't
bode well for Dragon for a lot of reasons, primarily mass Exodus of some of
the best speech recognition developers in the business. That's what
happened when L&H acquired Dragon Systems, and again when ScanSoft acquired
the L&H assets.
If by some strange chance Microsoft do take it over, think of the endless
possibilities with what they could do to WSR ;-).
You would probably then find somewhere else to complain about because of the
type of Troll you are.

"Lies"? Notice he puts the 'plural' on lies so as to try and deflect the
rest of all the OTHER LIES away. If that ONE ASPECT is a lie (which I doubt)
What about the other 34 which I have proved Mr lying cheating fraudulent
Troll?
Everybody knows you just copy and paste everything and then say you
dictating it with 100% accuracy. This is just to ease your
self-consciousness and inferiority complex and the need to feel important
when in reality, you are quite sad :-(

Yep, I have definitely hit a nerve there because of his persistent harping
on about not being a salesman of Nuance. Anyone and everyone and as any
aspiring psychologist would say: I can see a clear pattern here ;-).
1. I dictated the test document in the typing/dictation speed test. (He
actually copied and pasted it several times over)
2. It is conceivable that Dragon would be able to interpret somebody
properly, speaking at 600 wpm.
3. It is conceivable that Dragon would be able to interpret somebody
properly, speaking at 600 wpm AND be a 100% accurate.
4. I can dictate 836 wpm
5. I can dictate 836 wpm with 100% accuracy
6. I reckon I could dictate 320 wpm
7. I reckon I could dictate 320 wpm with 100% accuracy using Dragon
8. I can dictate 307.2 wpm
9. I can dictate 307.2 wpm with 100% accuracy using Dragon
10. I can dictate 260 wpm
11. I can dictate 260 wpm with 100% accuracy using Dragon
12. I can dictate 200 wpm
13. I can dictate 200 wpm with 100% accuracy using Dragon
14. I can dictate 150 wpm with 100% accuracy every time using Dragon.
15. I do not copy and paste my sample test documents that I put in this
newsgroup for all the WWW to see.
16. A typist speed test cannot be compared or measured to dictation speed in
wpm.
17. I know how the WSR toolkit would perform when used in conjunction with
WSR, even though I do not own a copy of the software.
18. The WSR toolkit has to have a reviewer in it to enhance accuracy. All of
the other features within it will not perform this function.
19. WSR is crap.
20. I am not a liar.
21. I am not a cheat.
22. I am not a bullshitter.
23. I am not a fraudulent troll
24. I am an expert in the field of speech recognition.
25. I know what a homonym is.
26. I know what a homophone is.
27. Spelling correctly is not important.
28. I am not a salesman promoting Dragon in this news group
29. Tutu is a homonym of to, too and two.
30. Tutu is a homophone of to, too and two.
31. The words to, too and two do not come out spelt correctly when used in
context dictating with Dragon and WSR.
32. I was only trying to ridicule Andy regarding the 836 wpm speed dictation
test scenario
33. I do not make up my own rules regarding speech dictation speed and
accuracy.
34. I do not backpedal.
35. The new 'Show Numbers' software for Dragon is better than the WSR
version.
