Pros: 5 minutes speaking instead of 40 minutes typing! Cons: Hour of reading to it for high voice accuracy. You also need a GOOD mic.
After reading the majority of the views here on the site, I was pretty reluctant to put the program on my machine. However, I have had a very busy summer businesswise. My business is on the Web, and I get a lot of e-mails asking questions. These ...
Pros: Fun, Useful, Accurate, Fast Cons: Need a decent computer, need
I am a student, and I have purely wanted Dragon Naturally Speaking for my fiction writing purposes. I am an excellent typist (about 80 WMP with very little errors),but I still find that typing can be rather stressful, and I lose concentration, and my ...
Pros: It works as advertised. Cons: Acceptable accuracy does not come automatically (at least not for me).
I have been a Dragon user for approximately six months now, and I feel I can authoritatively say that the program works despite the negative reviews below. I am an attorney and writing is my life. A large portion of my day is spent dictating, so my ...
Pros: The core technology has improved Cons: Disables Internet Explorer, fix is long and buggy tech customer respect is NON EXISTANT.
Several years ago I purchased Naturally Speaking V. 3, loaded it onto my computer, voice trained it, and found it inaccurate and slow. I gave up on it, figuring the technology was just not ready for prime time. Now, I purchase Naturally Speaking Ver. ...

Pros: Pretty Box Cons: Buggy programs, no customer support
Don't expect any help from Scan Soft if you have any problems with this program. This is a huge and buggy program that will conflict with a bunch of different software since it has to integrate itself into any program that accepts text entry. Scan soft limits tech support to one phone call, $19.95 per call after that, even if your issue is ongoing. I was told to uninstall and reinstall (how creative) and on the reinstall found that the CD was corrupt. Replacement CD's are only $25 + $5 S/H. How nice.
Scan Soft will not back up their products, and probably make more money on tech support and replacement for buggy and defective products.
Looks good on the description, but good luck if you are not up and running right out of the box.
