 won't install October 14, 2008
C. D. Hardison (Athens, TN USA)
I used Dragon 8 Preferred and loved it. Just bought a new Toshiba notebook with dual core fastest Intel CPU and huge hard drive. HAve spent the last 6 hours trying to install Dragon 10 PReferred. It gets to the "installing, this may take a few minutes" and then locks up. The CPU shows 50% use, but the hard drive is idle -- have no idea what the CPU is doing. I've uninstalled, reinstalled, used system restore, tried again -- same lock up. Tried the Nuance website, which tells me nothing in their FAQ section, but offers to help me for $9.95 per incident. No support for a $200 program? You gotta be kidding me. Look at some of the evals on other listings for this product -- lock-up and no-install are reporterd as common problems!!
 Works great! October 13, 2008
Arly (Delaware)
I didn't have high hopes for this software, because people always tell me that voice recognition software is not very accurate. But, the Dragon software has always been far above all the others in the ratings, so I decided to give it a shot. I probably wouldn't have tried it had it not had a 30 day money back guarantee, but since it did, I didn't have anything to lose.
The program comes with a dozen or more "training" sessions. You don't have to do the trainings, but I've found that each one I do increases the accuracy quite a bit. Although, the out-of-the-box accuracy was pretty darned good.
The biggest problem I have is trying to think in whole thought. We tend to not do that whey typing emails. The accuracy is close to 100% if I can speak as though I'm having a conversation and not thinking about each word I type. I tried telling a story using MS Word, and the accuracy was excellent. That's how I know that it works better when you can speak in whole thoughts. But, even speaking in a choppy way produces very good results.
I highly recommend this product for anyone who has the need for voice recognition software.
Great voice recognition October 12, 2008
J. Ng (Flushing, NY United States)
This is an excellent product. The voice recognition looks through the documents that are already on your computer and then integrates those words into your program. I do alot of medical writing and after a couple of minutes, I was able to use medical terminology and the program would pick it up rather well. The only caveat is that the program works much better at recognition on my desktop than it does on my laptop, both which are relatively new. I can only imagine that this may be because of the sound card?
 Faster than typing, though not perfect October 11, 2008
Victor Krulikowski
I've had it for about two months. I do have to spend some time going back and proofreading and editing documents because it isn't perfect. But, even with that it is faster than trying to type it all out where I still have to go back and proofread anyway. For me this was definitely worth the money. The included headset isn't very comfortable but is ok if you aren't using it for long periods of time.
Dragon Naturally Speech Recognition System October 10, 2008

Dragon NaturallySpeaking 10 Standard
The latest version of Dragon's speech recognition system at first glance is not that different from version 9. The biggest immediate visual difference is the new headset which features a single earphone with attached microphone. The sound is clearer both as input and output. The software does load more easily and it automatically recognizes the software loaded on your hard drive that Dragon can work with. But, like it's older brother, versions 10 requires training, training and more training. As with all such systems the real trick is for the speaker to train his or her speaking voice. Slow and steady wins the race. Patience will pay big dividends. By the way, the faster the CPU and the greater the system memory, the better Dragon seems to work. At least 1 gig is minimum; two is better, three to four is magic. You don't want the software to go to the hard drive any more than absolutely necessary.
