I think it would be great for teachers to speak to a microphone and Dragon NatuallySpeaking 9 can do speech-to-text for me because with hearing aids that may not help 100% of the time (like not recognizing teacher's words, for example), I may have to ask a teacher to repeat what the teacher are saying, even if I tell the teacher to slow down if the teacher are talking a bit too fast.

This will help make me stay productive, make it easier for to learn what the teacher're saying, and learn quickly from text rather than speech. But for that I'd have to have a laptop with me to class but no big deal. :) I have a laptop which is an HP zv6130us with AMD Athlon64 3200+ with 512MB of RAM.

Well, good luck with that route. A friend of mine actually tried this in technical school, in a computer class no less, and the software simply didn't work. Granted this was a couple of years ago. Maybe version 9 or whatever latest version could be a little bit better, but I doubt it.
 
Well I bought this thread up because I've read PCWorld's article about Dragon NatuallySpeaking 9, saying that you don't need training, but if you're not getting any good results with NatuallySpeaking, you can retrain NatuallySpeaking and let NatuallySpeaking learn your voice when you're using your computer via voice normally.
