Good Product Lousy Company [Posted on 2008-11-11]
I had Dragon's Naturally 7 and I thought it was a pretty good product. When I got a new computer I upgraded to 9 - and what a mess its been. I'm going to do a bad thing and write a review before I've even used the product. I accept that it will basically do what its supposed to do - its getting it to start that is the problem. The program is activated but the microphone will not turn on - so the product is useless at the moment.

Their support system is atrocious; since I bought it several months ago I'm out of my 'free call' period. Not only will it cost me $20 to talk to someone about it it'll cost me $10 just to e-mail. There's absolutely nothing on their FAQ's about the program being unwilling to even turn on. An attempt to join their community forum failed.

My take; Nuance is just another tech company that doesn't a hoot about customer support; if I had another choice I'd be with them in second.

No, I am not dictating this review! [Posted on 2008-11-19]
I did the training. I did a lot of training. This thing turns itself off whenever it feels like it. The "Help" feature is the worst ever. Sometimes the dictation, -- iof I can get it to work at all - comes out pretty good, but sometimes complete and utter gibberish appears. Solmetimes it gets the last part of a sentence only. I hate this crappy software!!!

Dragon Naturally Speaking 9 [Posted on 2008-12-03]
Good product.

Decent recognition with minimum training.

Speech recognition is not up to Star Trek standards, but we're getting there.

Dragon Speaking Naturally Software [Posted on 2008-12-21]
Order arrived quickly as promised. I have not had time to use it yet.

Great Product [Posted on 2009-01-07]
The Dragon Naturally Speaking software is AWESOME. And the package came in short order, and in good shape. The ONLY issue was that the included microphone headset only worked for one session then died and abrupt death. Other headsets work fine. Not sure if this is a fluke or normal for the product, but again...the software is OUTSTANDING.

Seller was great...no issues.
