Dragon Pro, voice recognition software. Awful UI, known bugs that never get fixed, incompatible with critical applications like web browsers. Why? It's my understanding that they have no real competition. If you need to "drive" your computer with your voice, Dragon is all there is. In fact, it is pretty limited without the addition of Voice Computer, which allows you to command Windows to do certain things, like switch programs, etc.

Dragon is so important to my workflow, while so shitty a program, that I would pay three or four times its cost for a competing product that actually worked well.
