Rating:  - Better than expected.
I purchased this software for a friend that has MS. She is wheelchair bound and has no movement except from her neck up. I purchased the computer system for her and this program. It was a learning experience for both of us. It took a couple hours a day, for a few days, but the training was enjoyable and very productive. It's as if she has a new life now. She's online every afternoon and says the time goes too fast. Before this, she was stuck in front of her TV every day, all day.

Rating: - Been using this for years - now I know some key secrets to accurate recognition
When I first got this program yeas ago, I wasn't even close to 90% accuracy. Plus, the results were inconsistent. I do a lot of writing and seminars and I can't type anywhere near as quickly as ideas come to my mind. I still have my old, slow computer - Windows 2000, 866Mhz, and I think 300+MB of RAM but I'm now getting consistent accurate results: 94% - 98% on long dictations. 96%-100% on shorter ones. The biggest difference? THE MICROPHONE!

Rating:  - Not able to use this product--most women voices won't work
I was never able to calibrate this product to my voice--I do not have an overly high pitched voice, but the volume was not enough to calibrate and make the product ready to use.

It was a waste of money --other men I know used it with absolutely no problem, or deeper voiced women. again, poor ... Read More
Rating:  - Mediocre.
Mediocre at best. The first time I used this software was a few versions back - and it was positively worthless. But when I saw that at least three upgrades had been made, I figured the improvement would be huge. In reality, the improvement was noticible, but just barely.
My biggest complaint: after lengthy additional time spent training it to recognize your voice, it doesn't seem to get any better at it. If there was any improvement at all following the additional voice training, it ... Read More
Rating: - ScanSoft Dragon (Old Version)
The program has worked really well for my son. He is in medical school, and he uses it just about everyday. He records his class, and that way he can set and really listen instead of trying to get notes. Then when he gets home he prints off the notes. I only wish we could have gotten the newer version, but I was told I had to have the first before I could add
the second program.
