Average rating: Stars

Saves my back!

I'm able to sit back in my chair, "talk" my thoughts and correspondence, and the finished document or email is usually dead on with very little correction needed. It also is great with Excel when I'm entering large numbers into cells and then telling it to move to the right, left, up or down and entering another big number from my notes or a document someone else has given me. Training is a breeze.

This software is absolutely unbelievable!

I installed the software this morning and went through the tutorials to learn how to use it, and I'm writing this review with it now (or should say it is writing it for me). I can't believe how accurate it is and how easy it is to use. I've had no problems with it whatsoever, I'll never go back to typing! It's so easy I could sit here and write a review as long as a novel but I won't. All I can say is, this is the most innovative software that I've ever encountered in the last 10 years. I would recommend getting the full package with the manual and quick reference card. The headphones are rather cheap, if you have a decent quality set already I would use those instead. I would not buy the CD only version! I paid $105 for the full version with expedited shipping on June 22 and received it on June 25th.
I highly recommend it, it will completely change the way you interact with your computer.

For $99.99 you cannot go wrong!

I LOVE THIS PRODUCT! It saves me everyday! As a student, at lectures, it is amazing! I use this product to update myself on notes I may have missed in class! With a great recorder, this product will transcribe notes onto my MP3 player in no time what so ever. It takes some time to get use to - don't get me wrong. Some of the notes are a little wonky. For example, "ice cream" instead of "I scream" but if you have any knowledge of the class you are in, this product saves lives. If it wasn't for Dragon I would have been working as tech support my whole life! My internship is at a university teaching economics! I never would have thought this possible if I didn't have Dragon to take me through my workouts, my walks to school, my transit rides, etc. It has truly gotten me through class!
