Rating: - I can't believe how well this product works!
wow I have only had this product for a day and a half. And I am very very impressed with it. The installation of the product(dragon) only took about 10 minutes to install. The voice recognition took about another 10 to fully understand my voice patterns. Actually it started understanding my voice within the first 1 to 2 seconds. I already sent out a ton of e-mails to friends and family. Telling them about this product. All of them are super impressed that for the most part I never even have to touch ... Read More
Rating: - great when it works
I had to get Dragon Naturally Speaking Standard 10 since my newer Vista Laptop doesn't accept my old Dragon version 7, and the built in Vista word recognition is so cruddy, refusing to even work on the Microsoft Word Processor, insisting on only working on the Word, which you must pay extra for. On the one hand, it does work slightly better than 7 even after years of training 7. No need of long training sessions before it even starts to recognize your voice correctly. Right out of the box it works ... Read More
Rating: - Watch out -- this only works on computers 2006 or later
What started out as excitement turned into a four hour nightmare of installation -- and we are NOT computer idiots. Nowhere on the box does it note that you must have an SSE2 chip in your computer (usually found in 2006 or later models). It simply indicates that it works with various OS, including our XP. (However, if you look at the 5 pt. print on the bottom right corner, it gives you a website to "check for compatibility" -- gosh, that's helpful, while you're standing in the store. *sarcasm here*) ...

Rating: - Good Software... Headphones suck.
I bought this for my boss and he hasn't had any problems and his only complaint was the headphones leave a lot to be desired. Punctuation, unless spoken, does not show up, but he has only been using it for a month so I don't know if that changes as the program learns.
Rating: - Not many options for voice speech engines, but this one works well enough
Right out of the box, this software was helping me help my wife transcribe some tapes for her. My only criticisms have to do with editing commands.
For instance, when you open the MyCommands editor, you will have to manually change the font from MS Sans Serif 7, unless that font works for you. This, too me, is pathetic.
Also, I'm somewhat surprised that it doesn't automatically capitalize after a colon, or using the word, "Mr." or "Mrs."
