Excellent product
Product purchased was Dragon NaturallySpeaking 13 Premium, not the student/teacher edition. With a high quality microphone, recognition accuracy out of the box is remarkable. However, with training, earlier versions (I also have Version 9) achieve almost equal accuracy, and are more suitable for use with software such as Scrivener. One useful feature of both versions is the ability to transcribe dictation from approved digital recorders. I would definitely recommend this product.

great idea, follow thru not so much...
Got this software for my wife for school (finishing her degree)... asked for verification of her student status. She sent in from her student email.... they didn't accept, had to send in student ID. Still didn't work! Called customer service, got verification process approved....Still couldn't get software downloaded (another department has to verify student status on their own before they approve code to download via web). Once downloaded, works great. Just getting to part to use it is difficult part!

Good product, helps with writing
My son has always had difficulty putting his thoughts to paper, even though he can describe what he should write in great detail. This product helps him immensely with putting the words to paper, since all he has to do is talk and the words appear in the word processing program. The reason this product did not get 5 stars is that I could not install it on the computer I had intended it for. Instead, I had to install it on a different computer, one my son does not use for school, and I had to change compatibility settings to get it to install. Both of the computers use the Windows 10 operating system.

The paid Dragon is much better than the free
The paid dragon dictation is much better than the free. The Student teacher edition can ONLY BE USED BY TEACHERS and STUDENTS! They verify you before you can install the program! I didn't know this when I bought it, but luckily am a student. So, it is not like Windows student edition- which is less expensive and has fewer features...but anybody can buy and use it.
