Pros: Frustrating tool
Cons: Many
Summary: I had the pleasure of standing next to the Dragon Naturally Speaking booth one day at a trade show. It was amazing to watch the reps work their magic. They made the system respond so naturally to their voice diction. Then again, they were paid ... read more

Pros: It does record speech, somewhat accurately

Pros: Types while you talk.
Cons: Makes too many mistakes and is hard to use.
Summary: ***PRODUCT ANALYSIS***
This product is supposedly the turning point of the typing world, well I think not. The manufacturers promise that it is as simple to use as it is to speak. I found out for a fact that it is harder to use than to type ... read more

Pros: About as accurate as voice recognition gets, much easier to use than ViaVoice.
Cons: Often has trouble distinguishing between commands and regular dictation.
Summary: I did a review on IBM’s ViaVoice awhile back. At the time, I thought my experience with ViaVoice was pretty typical of all voice recognition programs. No matter how much time I invested in trying to train ViaVoice, I ended up with a document that was ... read more

Pros: Recognition works(most of the time)
Cons: Takes up a lot of resources, Recognition is sometimes difficult for some words.
Summary: I bought the CD at a great price on Ebay, I looked here on Epinions before I decided to buy (I do that for everthing...) and I decided what the heck, its only $30.
When the CD finally arrived I popped it in and was on my way. I took ... read more

Pros: Easy to train, easy to use, several settings, included headset is comfortable!
Cons: Corrections can take time
Summary: I must admit. I bought this program as a new “Toy” for myself. I really enjoy new and creative things to throw on my computer and I’ll buy just about anything on a whim, just cause I can. I know, not good buying habits, but it’s one area I splurge for ... read more

Pros: Great technology that works as advertised
Cons: It didn't come out sooner
Summary: This is a review of NaturallySpeaking 5.0 I'm just learning how to use it, it's really gee whiz technology. How Does It Do with That? How in the hack can it understand me. Just ten years ago this was almost unheard of. So I would say this technology ... read more

Pros: Becomes more accurate the longer you use it.
Great for transcribing dictation.
Cons: Needs more computer power than listed on the box to run with other programs
Summary: I started with Dragon Naturally Speaking Version 1 and now use version 3.52 which is a vast improvement over the first one. Training it was a cinch. I would estimate that its accuracy is 99%. Yes, you still have to proofread but all the spelling is ... read more

Cons: Takes lots of time and patience to achieve good results
