Dragon NaturallySpeaking Premium 11 Student Edition [Old Version]

It doesnt quiet pick up my voice. Great condition fast delivery. Thank you.

I have owned Dragon NaturallySpeaking since version 3, and have always appreciated the excellent improvements. My experience with Version 11 is that it is a significant downgrade from the quality I have been used to. The software crashes frequently and I have to exit and reload to continue. Ive tried reinstalling, but that does not help. In addition, simple things are quite annoying like if I place my cursor at the beginning of a sentence, it does not capitalize automatically. It also does not add spaces automatically. Dragon NaturallySpeaking never used to do this with the previous Version 9 and 10 that Ive owned. On the more positive side, the accuracy is excellent, and Ive experienced that with previous versions. In my view, definitely not worth upgrading unless theres other applications or improvements that suit ones needs, of which Im unaware.

Just to write a quick review about this product in general. Im not sure why people were saying that they were having problems with the registration process. I literally filled out the form in about 30 seconds and instantly received an email with the product key. The product works great, just like other NaturallySpeaking software Ive used in the past

The product arrived quickly and in very good packaging. Dragon loaded quickly. This version works much better/fewer errors in voice recognition than older versions. Id recommend buying.

When I purchased this product, it came without all of the information, meaning that I couldnt use the program. Neither Amazon, who sold the program, nor Nuance, who provides general support for the program saw fit to do anything about it. I was exceedingly dissatisfied with my purchase and ended up wasting a lot of money on a corporate wild goose chase.

I ordered this on September 6th, 2010 and received on September 11. The product arrived with out the product serial number that you needed to start the registration and student verification process. Attempted to contact Nuance customer service and was told that it would take up to 2 days to get a response to my email. Got my email response 2 days later and the response seemed like they did not read the email. Finally, got to talk to customer service after having to take off work in order to call them during their service hours and was told that that I would have to send them a copy of the receipt and that they would send me a a response within 2 days after the request. Went to the web site to start the process and decided that it just wasnt worth the hassle. I sent the product bask without ever having a chance to use due to poor quality control and a cumbersome customer service resolution system. Would not recommend buying anything from this company unless you dont mind the hassle if you have a problem. I know several people who use Dragon Naturally Speaking and say it is a very good product but I dont have the time to deal with poor customer service if there is a problem. Buyer Be Ware. jthomas

Have a computer that was new 5 years ago. I loaded Dragon, provided documents, did training and worked through the tutorial. The first document I tired to create was a test document. It hung up so I closed Dragon and opened it again -- I started creating a document again and got a BLUE SCREEN. The recommendation from Microsoft was that I remove the software. So I did. But I am not that disappointed - though I am out my experimental investment. Dragon was so slow in recording that I could say a complete paragraph before it could finish the first sentence. I cant write that way -- as a fiction writer I need to be fluid and I can wait for the computer to catch up with me. The advertisement said Dragon would be 3 times faster - that would be very true if you cannot type. I was hoping for a different mechanism for typing -- I am on the computer all day at work. This was not the answer for me. I also purchased a better headset -- it did not function at all with Dragon.

Very poor service. the product I cannot rate because I could never use it. I bought it, tried to jump through the rediculiuos hoops to get a code and never could. Called customer service which took forever to get a hold of. I finally got somebody with an american sounding name that could hardly speak english. They wanted more money to give me a code. I imediately sent their product back.

Dont Buy until verification process is changed. This is speech recognition software that we buy and want to use not a top secret or covert spy stuff give me a break amd yourself one dont buy until changes are made. I bought product on 01/02/2012 and 1st had to buy more ram. 2nd tried to activate as directed as a charity only to find that only charities in UK can activate (the email We are unable to determine that your charity meets the publishers requirements for this program. Therefore, we are not able to approve your request for serial number(s). Please direct any questions about this policy to Nuance.) Ok I am also a full-time student and tried to use student email as instructed by Nuance only to be told that by the 3rd party my that my code was rejected because of prior use. The program itself may be the best thing since sliced bread but I may never know. Twenty something days later, I now have the serial number, I like the product, it will take awhile for me to learn to use it but it will be a help in my studies.

I bought this only to transcribe taped interviews for a class project. I trained the program with my voice at least 3 times. The transcripts that resulted were just absolute nonsense, they were not even remotely similar to the actual conversations. I expected some confusion, maybe confusing There for Thier and stuff like that, but the sentences were just gobbletigook. If thats what youre planning on using this for, dont do it, its a waste of your money.
