Excellent Product [Posted on 2003-03-14]
Excellent product - not perfect. Takes a little time to "train" the software, but it works well. Actually does a number of things that I did not expect. Documentation is excellent which is a major plus compared to some software.
Great Product [Posted on 2003-08-19]
I was extemely pleased with this product. I bought it used off of Amazon.com. I loaded it on my desktop and I was writing a research paper for law school from note cards within an hour. I was extremely pleased with the accuracy of recognition. It was well worth the cost.
Very Good but the new version 7.0 is much better [Posted on 2003-10-25]
The Dragon 5.0 is good but the new 7.0 version is EXCELLENT and is the way to go if you want to optimize your money.Dragon 7.0 is very accurate and has more speech capabilites.
Very buggy; works once you get it going. [Posted on 2003-10-29]
I was very disappointed with the software product. Although the speech recognition capability was excellent, the program is wrought with bugs and is difficult to get started. In less you are using this application to work with Microsoft Word, you may have a difficult time. I was especially disappointed to find out how long it takes to get started once you actually start to software. For example, when you click the mike on, sometimes it would be almost a full minute before the program would start to understand your speech. Sometimes I had to turn the microphone off and on a couple of times. The software fascinates me and does impress me to a certain degree. It is truly amazing technology. However, there is much to be desired in terms of usability. I paid a lot of money for this software, and I expect it to conform to a certain standard. I am going to try IBM ViaVoice.
Typing is faster [Posted on 2004-01-15]
It does a fair job of recognizing simple text, but dictating an article out of, for example, the New York Times, stumps the program. Typing it, unfortunately, is much faster.
