“Firstly, I did my research. The Nuance website has plenty of graphs on the best voice recorders for their software. I eventually went with the Philips Black Digital Voice Tracer 0660 - an inexpensive model (due to its lack of bells and whistles that I didn’t need) that records with crystal clarity, has one of the best ratings on the Nuance site, and is *optionally bundled with this version of the software*. I want to emphasize that point - I own the recommended digital voice recorder that Nuance bundles with this device (for an extra $100, of course). “

I think this was her problem. The recorder that comes bundled with some packages of Dragon is almost completely worthless and Nuance doesn’t actually test the recorders on their recommended-recorders list. I got all that information from Knowbrainer.com (I’m not affiliated with them, just a customer—one of the guys who works there used to work for Nuance and the Knowbrainer team really know their stuff when it comes to voice recognition).

Voice recognition is one of those areas where the quality of your hardware is really critical.
