This was discussed a few months ago on the TidBits forum:<br>

Everyone said Dragon works fine in Parallels, but requires a lot
of<br>
RAM, and Dragon 9 requires more RAM than Dragon 8. The<br>
recommendation for best speed was to assign to the Parallels
virtual<br>
machine 512 MB for Dragon 8 and 1 GB for Dragon 9. Accordingly, if<br>
you want to use Dragon 9, it would be best to have at least 3 GB
of<br>
total RAM on your Mac.<br>
<br>
In Parallels, it appears that Dragon will not dictate text
directly<br>
into a Mac app. Instead, you have to dictate into a Windows app
such<br>
as Windows Notebook. Afterward, you can either open the windows
text<br>
document with a Mac word processor, or else copy and paste the
