5+ Stars!
||Posted .This reviewer received promo considerations or sweepstakes entry for writing a review.I don't know how this product could get less than a 5 star rating. As an author, and typing as fast as I think, this product doesn't really slow me down. It takes some getting used to, speaking your thoughts aloud, but the best function for me (as an author) is the Read That function. My writing is smoother because of it, and I hear what my work actually says instead of what I think it says. Priceless! About the dictation, though, it's far better than what came with my computer. I'm so glad I didn't listen to a review that said Dragon was no better than Microsoft's dictation that I tried and find seriously lacking and not worth my time. This is a tax right off for me, and I thought it would be a frivolous purchase, but turns out I'd pay twice as much for Dragon 12! Buy it! You won't regret it!

Does what is says it will do
||Posted .This reviewer received promo considerations or sweepstakes entry for writing a review.The software is a pretty straightforward setup. It takes about 30 minutes to get it setup and initially trained to your voice. I've only been able to use it for a few different reports, but so far I'm pretty happy with it. The main reason I bought the pro version was because I can record my voice on my cell phone when something comes to mind and then use the software to transcribe it later.

good for beginner or someone with experience
||Posted .This reviewer received promo considerations or sweepstakes entry for writing a review.I used Dragon when I worked for a large company, and absolutely loved it, especially for short memos. I would be on the phone a lot and take notes. Afterwards I would transcribe the notes through Dragon. It saved a lot of time and I did not have to use the keyboard all the time. I have been self-employed for over 2 years now, and my wife got me Dragon for a Christmas present. I was surprised, but thrilled. As mentioned above, it is easy to learn. It is also beneficial to do a lot of voice training on the computer, and go back and retrain occasionally.

Easy to learn. Great time saver, creative helper.
||Posted .This reviewer received promo considerations or sweepstakes entry for writing a review.I debated buying Dragon Naturally Speaking 12, and now I wish I bought it sooner. I'm currently working on my masters in marriage and family therapy, and I saw huge results with the first paper I wrote. The ideas were able to just flow out of my head, and I didn't have to concentrate on typing or or keep stopping to make sure I typed the sentences correctly. I have always struggled when trying to put the words in my head to paper (or on the computer), but with Dragon my ideas flow easily and naturally. It has been a time saver, as well as a stress reducer. A huge thank you to the creator(s) of the Dragon programs!

great for entering data in spread sheets & reports
||Posted .This reviewer received promo considerations or sweepstakes entry for writing a review.I use Naturally Speaking to enter client data in spreadsheet and other customer tracking programs and for writing psychological evaluations. I can train it on specific terms used in psychology, I can add words from other reports. No repetitive motion injuries!

The Dragon is great!
||Posted .This reviewer received promo considerations or sweepstakes entry for writing a review.First let me start with the pros. The Dragon is well worth the money, it didn't take long at all to recognize my voice, speech patterns and dialect, and it was extremely easy to install. The con is the ease of use. Having said that, it is not that hard to figure out. It just takes a little time and practice. I just wish the instructions had been slightly more upfront and detailed. I think the Dragon will be a useful tool when I am working on my family ancestry.
