    I was unable to learn the activation key number, Because I was not buying it for a school or university. I intended to use it with seniors who are writing memoirs. Supposedly the item was discounted for teachers. so I had to return the item. I didn't find out what it cost without the discount. After two days communicating with a technician to be told no, I was done.

    I bought the product for my autistic son who loves to write stories, but slow to type. I was extremely disappointed purchasing this product. The advertisement was very misleading making it very appealing to use. I didn't realize until I purchase the product how much requirement it has just to upload. I wasn't aware the Premium Edition was intended for students, appears that way, and I'm stuck with it since the product was already open. I will never recommend this product to anyone.

  • Pros mentioned:
    Ease of use, Speech recognition

    Rated 5 out of 5 stars

    Speak Right, Type Right!

    Make sure your computer meets the specified requirements to download this software! This Product is excellent! It gets to know the way you speak each time you use it, therefore it is progressive! The product gets better the more you use it! Type anything through speech recognition software. It is best that you study the aids provided so that you learn how to punctuate, start new sentences, make corrections, etc. a headset microphone is included in the box. Free yourself repetitive stress injuries from too much typing! Let your mouth do it for you!

    I like the product as I am able to write so much by just speaking. Helps me alot in big assignments too. Only problem (which happened sometimes) was its writing words on its own. It did not write what I was saying. However I like this product a lot as it saves times.

    Great software, unacceptable privacy violations

    Somehow I think they're letting their php guys make their business decisions; when I went to install it they asked too many personal questions and I got the feeling they were going to know everything I was doing. Too bad because it's great software, first in the field , and I spent a small fortune on something I couldn't use.
