Software Reviews of Dragon NaturallySpeaking 10 Preferred - Medium Box
Customer Review: Still dont have the hang of it.
Summary: 2 Stars
It only works if you speak long sentences. If you try to say a couple of words it never words, it has no idea what your saying, but if once you say 5 or more word wow they get every word right. For the most part, but thats only because I already had typed it on a different word doc. I should stuck with the one that comes with windows it works better.Customer Review: Excellent product!
Summary: 5 Stars
Dragon 10 Naturally Speaking Preferred is one of the best dictation software I have ever come across with. It has got amazing accuracy and it's much better than the Dragon 9 naturally speaking preferred that I had before. Easy to install in five minutes right out of the box. Training takes another five minutes. The beauty of this is the more you train the software, the more user-friendly and accurate it becomes. Dragon 9 used to make more mistakes which I had before and hence I thought of giving Dragon 10 a try. Soon realized that I made the right decision. Now, I have saved a lot of time by dictating rather than typing. Another good feature is that this product has got multiple regional accents for use by people with varied ethinicities.In fact, I'm writing this by dictating. In short, it's a worthwhile try for people who have a terrible typing speed.Customer Review: Great software, but DVD issue made installation difficult

I have been a user of Dragon NaturallySpeaking for years, it is the best speech recognition software I'm aware of. I was finally able to get the version 10 software installed, but I had an installation error that took a good five hours to resolve. Hopefully you will be able to install it faster if you have a similar problem - see below.
When I installed this software, I received the following error message:
"Error 1330. A file that is required cannot be installed because the cabinet file ENUGen~2.cab has an invalid digital signature. This may indicate that the cabinet file is corrupt. Error 24592 was returned by WinVerifyTrust."
I looked up this error in the support section of Nuance's website, and followed their instructions, none of which solved the problem. Their last suggestion was that there may be a problem with Microsoft WinTrust on my system (XP), and that I should contact Microsoft to resolve it. I looked up WinTrust in the support section of Microsoft's website, and found a long series of instructions in "Article ID: 822798 - Revision: 27.7: You cannot install some updates or programs".
After getting through about two thirds of Microsoft's instructions, none of which solved the problem, I finally tried installing from a different DVD drive -- which worked like a charm. The DVD drive that I was able to install from (an internal Dell laptop DVD drive) is older and slower than the newer DVD drive that I was not able to install from (a Memorex external USB DVD drive). I have not had any other problems with the Memorex DVD drive.
So in summary, if you have a similar problem, try installing using a different (perhaps slower) DVD drive, or try burning a copy of the Nuance DVD using a friend's system, and install on your system using the copy. I hope Nuance will consider adding this suggestion to their support article on this problem on their website - it would have saved me a lot of time if I could have read it there first.
Customer Review: An excellent product - user friendly for sure.

This version 10 is really helpful as it is - will my God is missing or get out right out of the box. It is user-friendly, intuitive and it just keeps improving as one uses it. It works well whether I am inserting one word or running off a multiple paragraph thought that is remarkably accurate upon being reread. As one makes it one's own by adding your jargon to its vocabulary it routinely reduces time and stress relating to one's written works.Customer Review: Great product
Summary: 4 Stars
Dragon NaturallySpeaking is a great product. The more you use this software the better the voice-recognition works. I've been using it for work and for college papers. This is a great product for dictating your thoughts. I would recommend it to everyone!
