 End your search for excellence -- you'll find it here., 2006-11-18
I have been using Dragon Naturally Speaking to write articles, reviews, webpages and blogs for about a week now. This will be the first time that I've actually published anything using the program because I wanted the first item that I published to be this review.
If you do any extensive amount of writing, I highly recommend this program to you. It simply works. Right out of the box. Without any special training of the software to recognize my voice. (Of course, training the program will improve its performance.) This program alone makes it worth my while to have a Windows partition on my Mac Intel, and I plan to use it frequently. I have tried Mac-specific dictation programs and have generally been dissatisfied with them. Dragon Naturally Speaking simply blows me away.
If you get this program be sure to take the tutorials. They are easy to understand, quick to complete and make the program easy to use. The program itself may not need particular special training but the user does need a little.
Also, please note that most people need a little time to become used to dictation. It is really quite different from simply speaking to another person, and becoming good at dictation is an art. It has been a while since I have done extensive dictation and I'm finding that I have to relearn the process in order to be effective. And using a dictation program is different from using tape or digital recorders. Be patient. After you get the hang of it, you will be able to speed right along. And remember, although using dictation is much faster and more efficient than typing, you still have to proof-read your work.
(p.s. In some versions, you can record to a digital recorder and simply play back to the computer later. So you can dictate anywhere, any time!)

Dragon Naturally speaking, 2006-11-13
The product works as advestized and I enjoy using it. Would be nice if it had a cheat sheet on commands.

Look Mom No Hands!, 2006-11-10
This is a great product for those that need to type or write but are not able to. My son has Tourette Syndrome and is hindered from writing with all of his tics. My wife and I were writing all of his assignments for school and now he is able to dictate directly to the computer what he wants to say and also he can correct any errors he may make. This product is working well for us on Word and e-mail. If you have trouble writing or typing or just hate the task, then this is a real help and worth every penny!

 Dragon NaturallySpeaking 9 Standard, 2006-11-09
I'm a disabled Vet & my sister is a Quad, BOTH of us have trouble keying a PC. This approach, which was invented by Dr. Kurzwell & refined by Nuance, is very, very servicible & should help the so-called able-bodied & we Disabled speed up asks.

 Horrible! Don't buy!, 2006-11-09
I ignored the reviews, figuring it would work fine for me. Big mistake! It takes a lot longer to write correctly using this thing than to type by hand, because it makes mistakes with almost every word you say. Now it doesn't work at all anymore. I only used it successfully a few times, and both times I gave up after a couple hours because it took so long and was so bad at recognizing the things I was saying s l o w l y. It is a waste of your money. Don't buy this!!!!!!!!!!
