Open the original- What it measures
- The Prerequisites list of the community command set's README, which is the set most Talon users install first.

- The README describes what the command set expects, not what each engine costs or how accurate it is. It says Dragon for Mac is discontinued, so Dragon is an option mainly on Windows.
