Summary: No, I am not dictating this review!
Comment: 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!!!

Summary: Good Product Lousy Company
Comment: 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.

Summary: Addition Improved
Comment: This is an improvement over the previous edition. Its speech recognition is much improved.
However I did use it to type this opinion and it first typed addition rather than edition. But maybe I just need another cup of morning coffee.

Summary: What a great product
Comment: I am so impressed with the dragon software. Right out of the box, after a short time of going thru some examples I was able to use your product. I have had two throat operations and my voice is very deep and hoarse. Not an easy task to recognize my voice. Thank you for making such a wonderful product. I can write my book alot quicker now, The bonus is being able to dictate replies to my e-mail friends. It does not get any easier then this.
