Does Speech Recognition Software with yWriter

Naturally Speaking" work with yWrite?

yWriter. I'm using Dragon NaturallySpeaking version 9.5 on Windows
Vista
with a Logitech headset microphone. Fortunately yWriter is a fairly
small program so unlike Microsoft Word it doesn't hang when you
dictate.
Best,

Also, when you said it doesn't 'hang', I assume that you mean that it
doesn't lag behind when you dictate, correct? I want to use Dragon to
finish a book, but don't want to invest the time and money on it if it
doesn't work properly with yWriter.

running under Vista Premium. V5 works just perfectly with the speech
recognition built in to Vista. The way I used to use v4 to do the same
was to dictate in to Wordpad or Notepad and copy and paste in at the
end of a session.
(Now if I could only get OpenOffice to accept speech input I would be
well away :) )

I have Dragon Naturally Speaking 8, which I bought some time ago. I tend to dictate into the Wordpad clone which comes with the software, because it has a lot of speech-specific correction options.
I can fire it up and test it with yw4 and 5 though.
(There's nothing to set up - once Dragon is installed it should work with any app with a text window, but as someone else pointed out they couldn't get it working with OO.)
Cheers
