Software Reviews of Dragon NaturallySpeaking 9 Preferred [OLD VERSION]
Customer Review: So far worth the investment
Summary: 5 Stars
I just bought this product today from target for $30. And I learned how to use it within about 15-20 minutes. It was easy to install and set up. I read through the negative reviews and if people don't know how to set this program up then they must be computer illiterate. It types a lot faster than I can, and I type almost 90 words per minute. By the time I finish my statement, 1-2 seconds later, the sentence is typed. I am using it right now to write this review. I have only had to make one correction. It is very accurate. And will make my life a lot easier, since I have to have so many typed reports. As stated, it's worth it!
(and it's pretty cool)
Customer Review: Very Nice
Summary: 5 Stars
I love this product. A nice surprise was the text to speech feature. I would recommend this product to anyone. The price on Amazon was the best also.Customer Review: hardware sensitive?
Summary: 3 Stars
Please add to your reviews, the amount of memory (RAM) your system has, processor speed, and operating system. If unsure then include the year of purchase. There is usually a correlation between quality and hardware when using software of this type (resource hog). Will write/ dictate a review in a few days. Ignore the ratingCustomer Review: Dragon Naturallly Speaking difficult to train
Summary: 3 Stars
I purchased the program for use dictating common conversational information into my new electronic medical record (I am an Internist). I have been going through the tutorials repeatedly and, though I feel like I am being consistant, will sometimes get the commands to work and sometimes get them typed into my note. It does get most of my dictation correctly the first pass but the editing functions need workCustomer Review: You Will Need to Buy New Headphones
Summary: 4 Stars
First, let me say that I've only had this product for 10 hours. So far, it's fairly accurate and I expect that it will increase in its accuracy as it learns and I learn. While the headphone works, I find it uncomfortable. I think I have an average-size head :-), but the headphone seems as if it'd be very comfortable on a ten year-old's head. As an adult, I find that it squeezes. I would imagine that this is a complaint that many will have; thus, my recommendation would be that you be prepared to buy new headphones. Now, I'll probably be spending hours at a time using Dragon; but if I were only going to use a total of an hour or two per week (and no more than 30 minutes at a time), I could survive w/out new headphones. Anyway, the good thing is that you won't need to purchase any new headphones before deciding how you feel about the one included in the product.
