    I believe that this is the best program yet that they have produced. I have a very flat sounding voice, yet it has done an amazing job. I have owned all their programs from about 4 on... this by far is the best. Hats off to them.

    It takes a while to get the words right on the screen, but not bad for rambling and writing. Haven't used all features yet? Suitable for what I wanted it to do.

    Used it to transcribe some handwritten material into printed form. Did the job satisfactorily. I have not used it enough to know the in's and outs of the program.

    As a writer, this is the best productivity enhancement I could have hoped for. Yes it has to train itself to your voice patterns, and yes you have to learn some commands for it to respond to your voice - words vs punctuation for example. Yet it is easy to install and get working - and is best for 1st drafts of formal communication and direct use for informal communications.

    As an author I need to be able to have a program to transcribe dictation. This does the trick. Only issues I had was that a new version is out and it doesn't auto update which is frustrating.

    It is not worth having to learn all the special code words and sayings when you could have just typed it already. could be useful for some people with their hands full but for me i would rather just type what I want then sit in front of the computer talking to myself telling the computer to do things like i'm crazy. I only got it for the speech recognition technology to be able to type out dialogue from audio recordings but it doesn't work or does the same exact thing as whatever speech recognition already comes with your computer. can i still return it? also slows down your computer and responds slowly as well.

    No, I would not recommend this to a friend

    Installed and used it after reading a small paragraph the program used to learn my speech. Easy to use and set up. I have no idea why I was typing everything when I could have been talking and having this type for me. It also types the correct spelling so I don't have to stop and spell check.

    I've used Dragon for a while now. The only reason I went to this version was because it was Windows 10 compatible. It does a pretty good job. However, word training mode is not as responsive as prior versions that I've used. For instance, one has to train the same word several times and it still gets it wrong at times. Other times, it capitalizes the words for no reason even if you train it specifying lowercase options.

    I have been pleased to discover that the functionality has dramatically improved. After disappointing efforts in 4 previous editions, I had left the program for over six years. But nothing else worked as well. Now with I7 desktop and laptop I easily estimate 90% accuracy. Still, careful reviews are necessary to catch insertion of nonsense phrases or entirely leaving out a phrase (which has happened even in a quiet noise background environment.
