Dragon Naturally Speaking 10 Professional

By (cnet.com)

Dragon NaturallySpeaking 10 adds support for regional accents ; new Voice Shortcuts for Vista and the Web, including YouTube and Wikipedia ; hands-free browser commands ; no new system requirements ; custom-built Bluetooth headset option

The pricey license of Dragon NaturallySpeaking 10 serves only one user ; rocky installation on Windows Vista ; no Mac option ; poor audio quality on included headset led to poor results

Dragon NaturallySpeaking 10 isn't perfect, but it's the best dictation software available. We don't find this upgrade necessary for the most basic dictation, although new features may benefit heavily accented English speakers and those who rely ...

But we've found it difficult for Dragon versions 8, 9, and 10 to distinguish...

Hear Be Dragons: a review of Dragon NaturallySpeaking 10

By Nate Anderson (arstechnica.com)

Dragon NaturallySpeaking 10 is simply the best voice recognition we've ever used, but it's Windows-only and may not be worth an upgrade for current users.

Nuance Communications Dragon NaturallySpeaking 10 Professional

By (pcworld.com)

Hands off the keyboard (mostly): Dragon lets you send e-mail, dictate reports, and move around the Web and your desktop--all by voice.

Impressive accuracy out of the box ; Voice commands are more natural than in the past

Pricey ; Correction mechanism can become tedious

The Professional version costs a whopping $900. If you can do without the natural commands in Microsoft Outlook and the network administration tools, however, consider one of its less expensive siblings: NaturallySpeaking Standard for $100 or the ...

"BEWARE of NUANCE"S Support Polices they are NONEXISTENT"

By DexhuFL (cnet.com)

The product is very helpful if your a bad typ... 

I basically write this review to WARN about NUANCE'S lack of a appropriate SUPPORT Polices! The product does save a lot typing and has some very good features! I have been using DNS 9 for several years and it's been helpful!

NUANCE has a CAVALIER attitude about NOT SUPPORTING it's Products! This is my reason for giving DNS a low rating! I also think it is OVERPRICED! Also for only allowing one use of the product for each household!

Probably the best speech recognition program available

Tech support is DISGRACEFUL!

Manufacturer's Description

They are back again with a new edition - NaturallySpeaking Preferred Edition for your Windows 95- and NT-based PC. The Preferred Edition features air-tight integration with Microsoft Word 97 and allows you to dictate directly into almost any application. Now, instead of dictating, cutting, and pasting, just open Word and...
