Remote MTs using Dragon Medical for typing reportsmote users - Pauline

Hi guys:  I used to a hospital MT with just straight typing.  I was paid by hour, good job, then outsourced to making cents a line.  I had a job for 3 years with company only paying VBC.  I had to have a job with benefits so I took it and lasted with them for 3 years until they lost the account.  

Now I have landed a job with just straight typing, but still VBC.  They line count is very very high and I am struggling to make the lines.  I even had an expander, but still is a struggle.  My line count used to be 10 cents a line and 10.5 for weekends.  This job pays even less but again I needed a job.  

Their program is basically word.  My question is, have any of you purchased Dragon Medical Speech Program for typing your reports and not telling your boss for those of you that work remotely?  I know this would help me meet their requirements and most likely if I do not make it in 90 days that is it for me.  I love this account and good doctors, sooooo thankful for that.  I have had my share of bad dictators.   For any of you that use speech  programs, do you feel it actually does help type the reports faster?  Dragon is so expensive, but I am getting kind of desperate.   Company line requirement is close to 1400 VBC.  I used to have a job that their requirement was only 800 VBC and it was a  struggle even to get that some days.  Any helpful information would be greatly appreciated.   My work looks great, but the line count issue is a whole other story.  I was never a speed demon anymore, but more on the accurate side.   I would hate to purchase that program and it not work.
