I can't stress this enough. People seem to hide from features or think they won't need them etc. When I first got mobile speak installed that was a life changing event. Well worth the $695 for the program and the 600+ for the phone. Now you have this IPhone option for 299 or 399 all inclusive. That's a bargain and honestly you just don't know ahead of time how useful this stuff is, you have to actually use it and get used to it in your life. It really does put you on the same footing as your sited counterparts. In my professional life especially having a good accessible phone was critical especially after I got used to having one. Everything from small note taking, appointment management, texting and the ability to have google everywhere. Texting alone and the ability to have that accessible to you is huge. Everything from monitoring equipment at work and receiving a text when something is down, texting and exchanging numbers with that potential new girl / boy friend depenting on your situation, texting with coworkers and participating fully, quick communication with employees or friends, it's all there. That's just a simple act of texting, add in web browsing, good calendaring, on and on people underestimate the importance.
