A competent screen reader user can use Dragon Naturally Speaking without
J-Say for dictation purposes, but it takes effort, and you won't be able to
access JAWS commands via dictation.  Remember that windows 7 and windows
Vista have built-in speech recognition that is good as well and is free.

Most people who use speech input, and who are blind use JAWS and 
Dragon Naturally Speaking with an add-on called JSAY.  This program 
acts as a bridge between the two, it can be difficult to use speech 
input and speech output together.  JSAY isn't cheap, and unless you 
have problems typing, it probably isn't worth the effort and expense.
