A DNS group buy was under discussion in mid-December:
http://www.proz.com/topic/91091

Did anything come of this? Has there been a group buy and I missed it? Or is it still in the pipeline?

Group buy Feb 19, 2008

We did indeed schedule a group buy with a distributor in Europe. The link is at http://www.proz.com/tgb/128 however the European product is different than that of the US distributor and the US distributor is able to provide a lower price point - hwoever that product is English only.

I did not launch the group buy as I did not want a US resident and user of proz.com site to see the buy and think we were promoting a price that was actually higher than most in the US can buy for on their own.

Feel free to sign up if you are outside the US and looking for DNS 9 in languages other than English and I will make sure you are able to buy at the stipulated prices.

that link doesn't work, Drew Feb 19, 2008

Anyway, as I want GB (not US) English do I take it that I'd be better off going it alone anyway?
Thanks for your reply.

also still interested Mar 6, 2008

Hi,

I'm interested in German, and I am still watching the thread. I also tried the link, and it didn't work for me, either. Maybe I was too slow, and it's all over?

There seems to be a general lack of interest in answering our questions, unfortunately (or to be more charitable, given that the usual service I've had wih Proz has been excellent, staff have not had the time to address them yet). I am going to go it alone, I think.

Sorry to all of you that have been waiting - the link is now LIVE at http://www.proz.com/tgb/128

Pleasse note that this group buy is only visible to those outside US and Canada (when logged in). This is because US purchasers can find English only versions for substantially lower prices online on their own.

Sorry to all of you that have been waiting - the link is now LIVE at http://www.proz.com/tgb/128

Pleasse note that this group buy is only visible to those outside US and Canada (when logged in). This is because US purchasers can find English only versions for substantially lower prices online on their own.

The group buy bundle includes Dragon Naturally Speaking 9 Software in either Italian, Dutch, French, Spanish, German or English as well as a table top microphone performance rated 5 dragons by Nuance. Translators may find a table top mic is much better when dictating/translating for many hours a day. This bundle also includes online live support as well.

If you have any questions please email [email protected] directly. Thank you - and good luck with DNS 9

Hi you guys out there,

isn't anybody else interested? Seems I'm still the only one in the group buy. Did anything go wrong?
