    Three Times Faster than Typing
    A C/NET Editor's Choice for February 2006, and a PC World 100 best products of 2006, Dragon NaturallySpeaking 9 is up to 99 percent accurate, and often more accurate than typing. Dragon NaturallySpeaking never makes a spelling mistake, and it's actually programmed to get "smarter" the more your use it. And because most people speak over 120 words per minute, but type less than 40 words a minute, NaturallySpeaking lets you create letters and e-mails about three times faster than typing by hand.

    Dragon NaturallySpeaking 9 is extremely easy to use and require no training. A full set of new on-screen tutorials simplify the training process, so you can be an expert Dragon NaturallySpeaking user right away. An included approved free noise-canceling microphone helps you get started immediately. And you can use your voice to dictate, edit and control just about any Windows-based application, which gives you unprecedented flexibility as you work. It even supports Mozilla Firefox and Thunderbird. Just talk, and you can surf the web, open and close applications, even control your mouse and the entire desktop. You can also dictate, edit, and navigate more easily in Microsoft Word, Outlook Express, and Corel WordPerfect than in previous versions. For Web browsing, Dragon NaturallySpeaking 9 lets you search the Web, access information, and navigate web pages by speaking URLs and links.

    The DragonBar includes a "Select and Say" indicator that turns green when you are in an application or window where all of NaturallySpeaking's functionality is supported.
    Seamless Editing Functionality
    We all add unnecessary "ums" and "ahs" when we speak, and the last thing you want is to spend your time editing all those extraneous insertions from your documents. Thanks to its built-in Nothing But Speech (NBS) technology, Dragon NaturallySpeaking 9 filters out inadvertent fillers and sounds between words, keeping your document clean. The program's "natural punctuation" feature means that when you dictate casual writing styles, you no longer have to say "period" and "comma."

    So why type your emails, or fiddle with your mouse to surf the Web when you can more easily and quickly use your voice?

    Rating: 5 out of 5 stars - What a great product
    I am so impressed with the dragon software. Right out of the box, after a short time of going thru some examples I was able to use your product. I have had two throat operations and my voice is very deep and hoarse. Not an easy task to recognize my voice. Thank you for making such a wonderful product. I can write my book alot quicker now, The bonus is being able to dictate replies to my e-mail friends. It does not get any easier then this.



    Rating: 5 out of 5 stars - Its like cheating at work
    Don't think twice about purchasing this item. Just do it! I use it at work. It is like cheating, it is so easy. I am totally addicted. Even for writing this review I am using it. Setting it up is a no-brainer and using it is as natural as speaking. Now I'm driving everybody crazy with all my long e-mails :-). You can even command it to make a smiley face. Enjoy!



    Rating: 5 out of 5 stars - NaturallySpeaking does more than expected
    Alison, my wife, purchased this product for me from Amazon. Since I'm the person using it she asked me to write the review. She purchased the standard edition version 9.5 because we were not sure how well it would work. We were simply looking for something that would do voice to print, while my hands were recovering from injury. After the initial tutorial and voice check, which took about 15 minutes, I was able to fill in an e-mail, plus work in Word. After gaining confidence with that, I started studying the other lessons and realized that the software was very handy for working the desktop, ... Read More



    Rating: 5 out of 5 stars - dragon naturally speaking
    I am very happy with this product. It takes some time to train it to one's voice, but it performs very well once the learning curve is over.



    Rating: 3 out of 5 stars - Needs Training
    I bought the "Standard" version twice from Amazon and both times could not load the program because it had an "Invalid" product key. I finally went to Fry's and purchased the "Preferred" version. What I find is that the program does not recognize a significant number of words and commands, even though I did a lot of "training" and speak clearly. It could be that my microphone and/or sound care is deficient, but I find myself having to "train" the program to recognize many words and commands. Once it's trained it's okay, but one must be prepaed to have a lot of patience with this program. Other ... Read More
