I could probably stop you right there "I just said stop the review" but I think as you will see this software is unbelievably poor

The software is buggy, it sometimes works

Software works as advertised.

This is the worst software I've ever purchased.

This is by far the worst software I've ever purchased, and that's saying something

software just plain doesn't work.

No online support on weekends, which is when many small business owners like me do things like installing new software.

This software is perfect for people who have hand problems such as arthritis or carpal tunnel.

The software is very slow, it takes a very long time to catch up

This software is amazingly good at learning your voice and getting all your dictation right

Best results are obtained by continuing to speak and trusting the software, as the speech will drop into a queue and appear a few seconds later

Dragon NaturallySpeaking 13 eats Random Access Memory (RAM), which we must expect for a quality, robust, high performance software

I don't know if this was a software unpacking issue or a USB 2 speed issue.

After all, Bill Gates didn't do too badly creating endless software versions that worked both well and terribly and were almost the only game in town.

I highly recommend this software to all writers who need the creative aspect easier to accomplish.

This software requires patience but while you train and use it you will learn to write

My guess is they have a great speech-text group and a crappy software group

Horrible software.

http://www.kurzweiledu.com/default.htmlClearly, I regard this speech recognition software as a work in progress

I would recommend this software for anyone who spends a lot of time at the computer, composing text.

Is this how good and reliable software is installed

What good is it to customers that the software will be unsupported in the future

This is the worst software ever!

(recommend disable security software prior to install)

You'll save more time typing things out than you will trying to get this terrible software to work.

Software is junk and a complete letdown, as I have used DNS for years

I don't understand how Dragon, an expensive software, can't get its core functionality to work better than Google, who offers a free, simple, web-based solution.

(recommend disable security software prior to install)

, the software just does not work it's quite clear

Added one star, and this update: It turns out that, although not obvious, the behavior of forcing me into the Dictation Box for "unsupported" software is configurable

With each new version of voice recognition software that I use, I have found that over time, The voice files get so huge and complex that they begin to degrade and then the software makes more and more mistakes and becomes becomes less and less useful

Once the user does his/her part, the software is great!!

I do not need more frustrating software in my life.

Very good software

I installed the recommended additional software but it caused my computer to fail to reboot

The real shame here is that their CEO is among the highest paid in the nation and they are probably the main producer of voice to dictate and pdf manipulation software producers in the country.

This software is awesome

Computers were not nearly so powerful then and the software was not nearly as good

My expectation was that it did improved by taking advantage of fast hardware and software

Had an issue with my computer that required factory reset, so lost all my emails and the software

Is the actual software any good?

Great software

Another issue is that when linking to Microsoft Outlook, Outlook will quickly realize the software is slowing it down and disable

I spent more time attempting to train the software and correcting the repeated error...until finally I stopped using this.

The "best" you can hope for in many cases is to fumble through the awkwardness of dictating into a separate window and then transferring unformatted content over to the now-unsupported software, where you will have to format it by hand (not with dictation)

Excellent software.

The software has a reputation for consuming a lot of resources and I've generally confirm this

And excellent software program

Is this software worth it

I see this reported on the Dragon website, with no responses from tech support (other than saying change the resolution of your computer, which I tried, and also tried removing from the docking station, and I still was unable to complete the tutorial).The software is also not very good with technical things, like using UNIX via SSH terminals

This is an example of what garbage this software is

It's a good software and will save you alot of time when You are in College

The software was very inaccurate out of the box.

Perfect software for dictation not quite as good for computer or laptop control

I wish for once people would write solid software that works as advertised instead of spending all of their efforts on developing the next new thing I will make the old things will work properly

We were thrilled that the software worked well with non-standard software packages like his home inspection software.

Your software is buggy and then I get charged to download a product I have already purchased once because it crashed.

I hope that the matter will be eventually resolved and I can go back to using Dragon, but as of right now the software is useless to me

The software has built-in procedures to improve accuracy, so I suspect that the mistakes will become less frequent as I use the software more

Love this software

I would only recommend this software to people who hunt and peck as they call it, i.e. use two fingers to type

I needed this software for work following an arm injury

how well the software works

The software itself works amazingly well

First off, we had some trouble installing the software.

As it turns out trying this software was a real waste of my time

This software blew me away

Do not believe the hype that surrounds Dragon Naturally Speaking software

The software installed smoothly and works exactly as advertised

More wasting time complaining t o the uncaring ear, oh well, this began again at five in the morning:To create this remarkable program required an internal culture with extreme dedication to perfecting the basic engine

Correction: Just as important as

I am very pleased to report that it did work as

I began to try to train the program to my voice but have been confused as to how this works, since I did not have the program before this.

didnt work as we expected

It just might be, many 4 stars and the 5 stars people are new users:Not many satisfied users said they upgraded from D S 11 or 12, so of primary importance is whether or not Dragon 13 is faster and more accurate than Dragon 11 and 12.Now my question is, if I pay the aggravation-price required for Dragon 13 to work, is 13 much faster and more accurate than D S 12.5, as well as, faster and more accurate than my 11.5

I also created several profiles it for outside (winds, aircraft passing) use, as well as for indoors, and this seemed to work well.
