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.
sad March 16, 2010 Groucho Twain (VA USA) 0 out of 1 found this review helpful
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
Dragon is nice! March 12, 2010 J. Thomas (Grayslake, IL USA) 0 out of 1 found this review helpful
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.
Dragon 10 tech support is almost non-existent March 9, 2010 Jeff Rudin 0 out of 1 found this review helpful
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.
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.
