Dragon Naturallly Speaking difficult to train [Posted on 2008-06-27] 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 work
hardware sensitive? [Posted on 2008-07-11] 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 rating
Very Nice [Posted on 2008-07-12] 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.
So far worth the investment [Posted on 2008-07-13] 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)
very good product overall! But does have some bugs. [Posted on 2008-07-22] this is by far the most accurate Dragon NaturallySpeaking version so far. However, if you are using a Bluetooth microphone sometimes the program can be a little sluggish. I'm not sure if that is due to limitations from the program or Bluetooth devices themselves. However it can be a little frustrating at times. Also, the program sometimes doesn't like to integrate easily at first with Microsoft Office 2007 or at least I had trouble with it so be careful at first. I have been a user of the series for almost 15 years and this is definitely worth the investment.
