What our customer's say!

"Dragon Naturally Speaking 10", I was excited to recieve the product however, even though it stated that it works with Windows Vista it does not if your computer is a 64 bit computer. If the program works it works very well but you may sometimes have to reset the speaking mode. It is though a program worth having once you work out all the bugs.

"Do not buy this!!!! It will not install on Vista and you must pay for technical support.", I had used Dragon 6.0 and liked it. My computer died and I had to get a new one. Unfortunatly, they only come with Microsoft Vista now. So I had to buy a new version of Dragon for my new computer. I could not install it because if gave me Error 1330. I looked up the solution to error 1330, which is Tech Note 6042 and followed both solutions, but they did not work. It seemed to work until I tried to use the program and it had me install a vocabulary file when I created a user profile, but the vocabulary file never installed and again I got error 1330. I tried to contact technical support, but I would have to pay $20 per incident. They do give you one free technical support call, but I didn't feel like using that up just to install the program. I looked at many technical support discussion websites about error 1330 and there are lots of angry people out there who have gotten this very same error and have Vista. It seems like Nuance, the makers of Dragon, do not stand behind their product and have made one heck of a lemon with version 10. I recommend looking else where for voice to text program, unless you still have Windows XP or lower. I tried out the speach recognition program that comes with Microsoft Vista and it works fine, I am sticking with that, it is already installed and its free. Just go to "start" "settings" "control panel" "speech recognition" open it, take the tutorial and train it once or twice and your off. Don't bother with Dragon NS.

"Thanks for the Warnings", Thanks to everyone here who has given us feedback about Nuance and its products. I was very interested in buying the program but after hearing the horror-stories, I'll be avoiding it.

It seems like the company has a death-wish by releasing a crippled application, not providing adequate on-line support and making themselves nearly untouchable by the customer. I, for one, will never pay for tech support again from ANY company. That's a shame because it gives the impression (at least to me) that they do not value the customer OR the product they are trying to sell. It's not just bad customer service, it's bad business and they will fail eventually. I'd rather not be a part of that dysfunction. Again, thanks for the reviews.

"Love it", Product is excellent, works right out of the box with minimim training. Much improved from previous products. Magic!

"I don't own one, but...", P.S. I accidentally hit three stars and the review form would not let me change it to two stars.

Last year I bought Dragon Naturally Speaking 9 Preferred for my son. He had no trouble installing it, did mention that the program was "scary smart," and now says it makes his job easier and he uses it constantly. For many months I have been toying with the idea of getting one for myself as it is getting difficult for me to type because of pain in my hands; however, I have been using computers for about 20 years now so am very familiar with the ups and downs of software support - who provides it and how good it is. I always check a product's support pages before purchasing their product(s) - sometimes I DO learn from experience.

And that is the one thing that scares me about Nuance. I have been on their site several times trying to find answers to simple questions like, will it work with Open Office. No answer on their site, no easy way to contact them. I have written several emails to what I thought might be the sales office over the last eight months, no replies. They send me coupons and half-price deals and call me to offer great deals, but no answers to my questions.

So, apparently the software works maybe a majority of the time and that is good. But when something doesn't work AND you can't get any help from the people who made it, what good is it really? Only good until that first call to support.

I'll wait - maybe after the economy sinks for awhile and they find out they actually need customers, they'll decide to do something about their very bad web site and virtually nonexistent customer support.

Read this reviews before You buy...

"Dragon 10 Natrally Speaking", My life on the computer just got more productive and fun. Changing Talk to type makes my time on the computer less about my lack of typing skills and more about getting my work done! My 12 yr old son has a Lerning Dissability and he can use his own file to talk his assignments, reports into the computer, he says it is just like telling his friends a story now-not like writing a story for homework.

"Review for Dragon Naturally Speaking Preferred 10", I am very satisfied. This is a good product for someone like me with average typing skills and speed. The accuracy rate is not as high initially, as mentioned in the product box, but it gradually improves with time. This has definitely reduced the time that I have spent in the recent past in typing medical progress notes. I have also used Dragon for other transciption work including writing letters and case reviews in MS Word, and writing e-mails. The only problem that I have encountered is the optimal position of the microphone. I hope there are regular updates available to optimize the efficiency of the software.

"Wouldn't load", I should have listened to the other reviews. I couldn't get it to load. It kept stopping and said it needed something for the C++ (whatever that is). At that point it wants you to restart the computer. Just before it restarts, it runs an uninstall program. This removes all of what is already installed. When it restarts it does the same thing all over again. Amazon.com did let me return it. I just got this PC. It has VISTA Home Premium on it.

"Dragon Naturally Speaking review", Couldn't install. Windows XP; met all memory requirements. Got error message repeatedly: "A serious problem occurred while trying to initialize the speech engine. Please try reinstalling..." Complied four times to no avail. 'Catch 22' situation. Gave up in frustration.

"it has some bugs wait for them to release a service pack.", I have been using this product since it was first released. It was extremely hard for me to install on my desktop but I did not have an issue with the install on my work related laptop. It does not interface well with Microsoft Outlook 2003 exchange server.The natural language commands really take over the program and I have tried to turn them off in the options menu and even with them unchecked they still take over the program. I would buy version 9.5 for the time being it was less buggy and I actually think it was a little more accurate.
