To: Eric Dickman,

CEO of SuperSpeedSoftware, Inc.

Eric:

Thank you for your excellent product, SuperSpeed. The system enhancement software has accelerated my Dragon 7 voice recognition program significantly. I have lost no accuracy, have experienced no conflicts with other programs and have found this to be an extremely stable product. I have been able to reduce the time spent on my medical encounter patient notes, on a per patient basis, by 50 percent. This program has already paid for itself and is, in my opinion, nothing short of revolutionary.

Thank you,

Daniel Delp, M.D.
