Speech recognition software products like Dragon use the human voice as the main interface between the user and the computer. Millions of users turn to Dragon each day to make PC interaction easier, faster and more fun. Users can dictate and edit in virtually any Windows application, including Microsoft Word, Internet Explorer, Mozilla Firefox and AOL. This revolutionary and easy-to-use product gives users everything they need to get started, including a high-quality headset.

Turn Talk Into Text

Accurate Speech Recognition for PC Applications
Dragon NaturallySpeaking 10 Standard offers unprecedented speech recognition with unrivaled accuracy levels: it's up to 20% more accurate than Version 9, with up to 50% more accurate results than the product delivered just five years ago. Users gain the added benefit of avoiding spelling errors and typing mistakes. In fact, the product actually learns from corrections over time.

Works With the Applications Users Already Have
Dictate directly into Microsoft Word and most other Microsoft Office applications running on Microsoft Windows XP, Windows 2000, and Windows Vista. Dragon also supports popular programs such as Corel WordPerfect, Microsoft Internet Explorer, Mozilla Firefox, and AOL. Navigate the desktop by voice: launch or switch applications, save or print documents, and more--even control menus and dialog boxes.

Create and Edit Documents and Messages
Dragon NaturallySpeaking 10 introduces new graphical icons to enhance the DragonBar user interface, making the product even easier to use.

Users can quickly add custom words, such as proper names, to the system's vocabulary.

Quick Voice Formatting commands allow users to issue a single voice command, such as "Bold Quick Voice Formatting" to make deleting and formatting text faster than ever. In addition, unique Natural Language Commands mean users don't have to memorize complex instructions. In Word, for example, a user can say, "make that bigger," and the font size increases instantly.

With the automatic punctuation option, users can omit spoken periods and commas during dictation--Dragon NaturallySpeaking enters them automatically.

Send Email, Instant Messages and Surf the Web--All by Voice
Users can browse the Internet with ease: search the Web, access information and navigate Web pages, simply by speaking URLs and links.

User Benefits

Faster than Typing
Most people speak more than 120 per minute but type less than 40 words a minute. That means users can create documents and email messages more than three times faster using Dragon NaturallySpeaking 10 Standard. The software never makes a spelling mistake, and it actually gets smarter the more it's used.

Fun and Easy to Use--Get Started Right Away
Dragon NaturallySpeaking installs quickly and requires no special script reading. New on-screen help and tutorials help users become experts in no time. Users can dictate letters and emails instantly! A comfortable, high-quality headset is included.

Avoid Repetitive Strain Injuries
By using voice to control the PC and create documents, users reduce their risk of developing repetitive strain injuries, such as carpal tunnel syndrome.

4 out of 5 stars must have for paperwork   March 17, 2010
Cynthia Shields (AMESBURY, MA, US)
This is a great tool. Well worth the $$$. Even if you have to pay yourself (I had to) Makes the mountain of papers that is required as my "professional obligation" outside of the work day more managable. Definate stress reduction tool.
Individual plans which take 4 hours w/o this, now take 1.5. Don't let the boss know, I am sure she will find a new way to fill that other 2.5 hours in "data recording" items. After all in the humanities, it is now all about the data not the person.

Since one must have internet connectivity to get this to function why bother putting it on a CD? Should be sold as a download (would at least be "greener"). The machine I use is never connected to the internet and other machines I have access to do not allow one to have administrator privileges so the downloads they requre cannot be performed. I missed all of this stuff when considering the purchase, ya got me, my fault, "buyer beware". On the plus side I bought it as a gold box deal so I'm only out about 35$ (Thanks Amazon, on the other hand maybe that should have told me something). There is at least one thing worse than the way they have decided to sell this. Try their help site. HA HA

I absolutely love Dragon, I am using it to type this review. I'm still getting used to it but it is fast and fairly accurate. I would recommend it to anyone.


1 out of 5 stars Dragon 10 tech support is almost non-existent   March 9, 2010

I do not know how to type. I have to type this by "hunt and peck" because this product, Dragon 10, does not run on my Dell Netbook. Tech support acts like they have the solution, but their suggestions do not work. I am sorry I upgraded from the Dragon 8 that ran on my old laptop.


5 out of 5 stars Blows Windows Speech Recognition Away   March 9, 2010
Last-Minute Mark (Hamilton, NJ, USA)
1 out of 1 found this review helpful

Hi, I'm no computer expert, which is why I was amazed by the diference between Windows Speech Recognition (installed with my Vista Home Premium 32-bit OS) And Dragons Ver. 10. I have tried to work with the Windows Version, and it was fustrating, in-accurate, and a waste of time. I then bought Dragon Version 10, and my faith was restored in software of this type. It is easy to use, and it works. In every program and application I have tried so far, it has worked extremely well. As I said before, I'm no computer whiz. I was thrilled when I spoke into the headset, and saw what I was saying appear before my eyes. Take the time to read through the training, and learn the commands. Try it for yourself, believe me, it is worth $50.
