NaturallySpeaking 9 translates your voice dictations into Microsoft Word and Excel, Corel WordPerfect, and virtually all Windows-based applications. View larger. | Three Times Faster than Typing
A C/NET Editor's Choice for February 2006, and a PC World 100 best products of 2006, Dragon NaturallySpeaking 9 is up to 99 percent accurate, and often more accurate than typing. Dragon NaturallySpeaking never makes a spelling mistake, and it's actually programmed to get "smarter" the more your use it. And because most people speak over 120 words per minute, but type less than 40 words a minute, NaturallySpeaking lets you create letters and e-mails about three times faster than typing by hand. Dragon NaturallySpeaking 9 is extremely easy to use and require no training. A full set of new on-screen tutorials simplify the training process, so you can be an expert Dragon NaturallySpeaking user right away. An included approved free noise-canceling microphone helps you get started immediately. And you can use your voice to dictate, edit and control just about any Windows-based application, which gives you unprecedented flexibility as you work. It even supports Mozilla Firefox and Thunderbird. Just talk, and you can surf the web, open and close applications, even control your mouse and the entire desktop. You can also dictate, edit, and navigate more easily in Microsoft Word, Outlook Express, and Corel WordPerfect than in previous versions. For Web browsing, Dragon NaturallySpeaking 9 lets you search the Web, access information, and navigate web pages by speaking URLs and links.
The DragonBar includes a "Select and Say" indicator that turns green when you are in an application or window where all of NaturallySpeaking's functionality is supported. | Seamless Editing Functionality
We all add unnecessary "ums" and "ahs" when we speak, and the last thing you want is to spend your time editing all those extraneous insertions from your documents. Thanks to its built-in Nothing But Speech (NBS) technology, Dragon NaturallySpeaking 9 filters out inadvertent fillers and sounds between words, keeping your document clean. The program's "natural punctuation" feature means that when you dictate casual writing styles, you no longer have to say "period" and "comma." So why type your emails, or fiddle with your mouse to surf the Web when you can more easily and quickly use your voice?

 10.1 is a great product, but terrible customer service May 27, 2010

I bought the Naturally Speaking 10.1 Preferred in Spanish. I love this product and am amazed at its accuracy. I was so impressed, in fact, that the same day that I installed the software I called Nuance and after two conversations (one phone, one chat) with one sales representative, I bought the English version with express shipping. The shipping took less than 24 hours, but to my surprise, the English software did not install properly and after repeated tries, I called technical support at Nuance, the company that sells the Dragon software. It turns out that the Spanish version ALREADY HAS ENGLISH on it. The sales rep must have counseled me to buy a useless second product because she didn't know that the Spanish version already had what I needed (?). At any rate, it took almost an hour on the phone for me to realize the problem and then attempt to navigate the technical support and customer service circuits. Finally, I was told by an incredibly irritating customer service manager named Hans that the problem was my responsibility and that I needed to ship the product back at my expense. So...please learn a lesson from my wasted morning. If you buy the Spanish software, call it a day. In sum: fabulous product, infuriating sales team behind the product.
 GET THE FREE UPGRADE TO 10.1 from Nuance !!! February 5, 2010
Kenneth T. Weaver
You can buy Nuance Dragon 10 "Essentials" version for exactly $40.00 - They did not carry the upgraded "prefered" version. So if you have or haven't bought Dragon 10 yet, I would recommend downloading the FREE UPGRADE to 10.1. provide by Nuance.
1.)If you buy OR have the Nuance Dragon 9, There is a SERVICE PACK 1 update that ALL Nuance to has created for ALL version of this program, to make it even more effective. It has a upgrade for Vista users and also versions 8,9,and 10 - The FREE UPGRADE TO 10.1
For some reason it is almost impossible to get this direct download from there main website (even though they show it) - My best friend (Google) helped me find the correct URL to download their "Service Pack 1" to upgrade all the versions to 10.1 - After you install and register your product, Click copy and past the link below, so you can update your current version to: 10.1
[...]
Hope this helps you out! and as far as my personal review, 5 stars all the way! This program is awesome and almost to good to be true. I can't believe how fast it started to recognize my voice. A must have in my opinion..

Don't be fooled. Dragon Naturally Speaking 10.1 Legal will not perform even remotely closely enough to what is advertised to make it worth your while trying to make it work for you (let alone the dollars you burn in buying it and the Bluetooth headset you most likely will want). Is it a marvel when it's working properly? Yes. But there are so many functionality issues and so much time wasted in correcting its errors that you will repeatedly conclude that you would have been better off just typing it yourself the "old fashioned" way. Read the other reviews. Don't be seduced by the praise -- most I've read are still in the infatuation stage and are just mesmerized at seeing their spoken words appearing on the monitor before their eyes. Read the criticisms, because they are real and it WILL happen to you. That is where the real value of these reviews is found. Don't be fooled by the sales pitch. You won't come close to "99% accuracy" in actual, day-to-day practice. I have been trying to use this program for a month. It sucked when I started, it sucks now. There has been no improvement in recognition. Simple, ordinary words clearly enunciated then are still being misunderstood by the program, sometimes getting nothing more than "<>" as a response. (And you'll see that a lot.) The point of voice-recognition software is to save time. Well, this won't. Don't be suckered by all the hype -- yes, it is amazing; incredible technology. But you don't want to see a magic show, you want results. You want a useful, time-saving (i.e., income-enhancing) device. This isn't it. Unless you have very poor typing skills (I don't mean kind of, I mean "very poor"), or you routinely draft very long, formal documents or letters, for which this product may have some value -- but I'm only guessing there) this product will cost you more time than it saves.

The program itself is okay but I think the headset needs to be improved. I speak well enough into it and the voice recognition does not work well. However, when I used a different headset it was better. If you buy this you may also want to look into a good headset with a good microphone.
