A C/NET Editor's Choice for February 2006, and a PC World 100 best products of 2006, Dragon NaturallySpeaking 9 is up to 99 percent accurate, and often more accurate than typing. Dragon NaturallySpeaking never makes a spelling mistake, and it's actually programmed to get "smarter" the more your use it. And because most people speak over 120 words per minute, but type less than 40 words a minute, NaturallySpeaking lets you create letters and e-mails about three times faster than typing by hand. Dragon NaturallySpeaking 9 is extremely easy to use and require no training. A full set of new on-screen tutorials simplify the training process, so you can be an expert Dragon NaturallySpeaking user right away. An included approved free noise-canceling microphone helps you get started immediately. And you can use your voice to dictate, edit and control just about any Windows-based application, which gives you unprecedented flexibility as you work. It even supports Mozilla Firefox and Thunderbird. Just talk, and you can surf the web, open and close applications, even control your mouse and the entire desktop. You can also dictate, edit, and navigate more easily in Microsoft Word, Outlook Express, and Corel WordPerfect than in previous versions. For Web browsing, Dragon NaturallySpeaking 9 lets you search the Web, access information, and navigate web pages by speaking URLs and links.
The DragonBar includes a "Select and Say" indicator that turns green when you are in an application or window where all of NaturallySpeaking's functionality is supported. | Seamless Editing Functionality
We all add unnecessary "ums" and "ahs" when we speak, and the last thing you want is to spend your time editing all those extraneous insertions from your documents. Thanks to its built-in Nothing But Speech (NBS) technology, Dragon NaturallySpeaking 9 filters out inadvertent fillers and sounds between words, keeping your document clean. The program's "natural punctuation" feature means that when you dictate casual writing styles, you no longer have to say "period" and "comma." So why type your emails, or fiddle with your mouse to surf the Web when you can more easily and quickly use your voice? Customer Reviews: Rating:

quick to start using
I have been using this software for couple of weeks now, and I only use it occasionally. I have found that it is very easy to set up and start using and seems to recognize most all words. The software is far superior to other voice recognition software that I've used in the past. If you're not used to dictating it does take some getting used to. This software works best when you speak in sentences rather than word by word. I think after using this software for a little longer it will recognize all the words that I say. And I will be used to working with it to. I am using it right now to dictate this review directly into the Amazon website. I found it will work everywhere that you can type into a page. The only reason I am giving this product. Four stars instead of five is because the earphone piece on the mic headset. I find very uncomfortable and I have not found a comfortable way to use it.

Very good for carpal tunnel patients
I got this product for my wife to use at work until she has her carpal tunnel surgery. She reports it is relatively easy to learn to use, and a great saver of hand action, but it IS slower than typing. Nonetheless, it has enabled her to continue to work productively without pain, and she gives it four stars. (She isn't writing this because it is on her work computer, and this is from home!)

Pretty darn natural
A mature product that does very well what it is supposed to. The more I use it, the better both it and I learn, and the better it gets. Goodbye to the threat of carpal tunnel syndrome! Rating:

I want nobody to be cheated from this seller
I bought standard edition from this seller.
When it is delivered, the box was already opened, and the seal for the first CD was also broken.
At first, I thought that somebody returned this, and this seller try to sell this again without sealing it.
But, when I tried to install it, I found that something is wrong because CD-KEY was invalid.
I realized that I was cheated when I take out the CD from my CD-ROM.
The first CD was prefered edition whereas the second CD was standard edition.
Of course anything else including CD-KEY is standard edition. I cannot even try to use it.
I don't care if this is a mistake of seller.
I am totally disappointed I am on the returning progress, now. Rating:

Pretty good so far
I have only been using it for one day so I can't speak to much other than it was easy to install, easy to train, fairly easy to use, and had a surprising amount of preinstalled names. I am looking forward to getting used to it to make corrections as it doesn't always hear me correctly but so far so good. I have never used another product like this so I am unfamiliar with anything else to make a comparison but I am sure it is far superior to previous versions. |
