Three Times Faster than Typing
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?

Product Features

* Extended support for new applications
* Support for Non-standard Edit Controls such as Select-And-Say
* Work in Microsoft Word and Corel WordPerfect
* When dictating casual writing, you don't have to say period and comma
* Windows XP or 2000 (sp4)

I was anxious to use this product and got it loaded right away.
However, it takes quite some time to "train" the program to understand
your speaking style. I'm still working with it. It is superior to
the older products. I find I must speak more slowly than normal. I would
recommend if you have time to work with the product for 8-10 hours to
train it. I just haven't found all that time yet.

I will definitely NOT buy this product. I refuse to be RIPPED OFF $10 for EACH AND EVERY time you e-maill or call customer service. This is totally ludicrous, and the support service should be included with the purchase of the product. Apparent Nuance Dragon Naturally Speaking is trying to squeeze every nickle and dime out of their customers. I refuse to by any product by a company that will do that to their customers. I think this is about the ONLY company that charges for their support. Try to find an alternative voice recognition software company who will support their product free of charge. SHAME ON YOU, NUANCE DRAGON NATURALLY SPEAKING.

When I've tried speech recognition products in the past they were cumbersome and any time savings was lost in correcting errors. With Natuarally Speaking there is still a learning process of how to use the tool and its many capabilites (like editing), but it is definitely a powerful, time-saving tool. It also has helped me see where my spoke word is unclear, so that I can start reworking how I communicate. Thus it has also become a speech coach.

I bought this for my 14 year old grandson. He uses it to do reports for school and thinks it is really cool. Instead of proofreading his work for spelling errors, this program does it for him. He has a tendency to mumble and the program won't work unless you speak clearly, so this was an unexpected plus and will hopefully carry over into everyday speech. Finally, because he enjoys using it, his reports are more detailed and thorough. He truly likes speaking "Dragon".

Impressive speech recognition but still makes unacceptable number of mistakes. Editing them, takes away any speed advantage. I am a South Asian physician with electronic medical records. I am still trying to achieve the ultimate goal of being able to get the computer to transcribe. However, still no real joy!Good fun though.
