    Better Than Expected
  

*by L***S on Reviewed in the United States on December 7, 2012*

I really thought I'd have to talk slowly, distinctly, and that I would have to "teach" the software to know my voice, but right out of the box, it was doing everything it advertised and keeping up with my chatter-box mouth. I'm an author who needs to exercise and write at the same time. Using the included portable, voice recorder, now I can. I have no excuses now. Everything from cleaning the house to walking the treadmill can get done without my novels suffering. I'm thrilled!

    This is really speeding up my writing!
  

*by Z***T on Reviewed in the United States on August 12, 2013*

I got this to use as I wrote my first novel. I wasn't sure how well I would like it, but I had liked the much simpler dictation program that came on my ipad. It wasn't quite good enough and so I decided to try this. I'm glad I did, as I've discovered that I go a good bit faster. The thing that surprised me was that I am thinking way faster than I can type--and I'm not a slow typist!I wondered if it would take me a lot of time to correct my errors, and it does take some but the net gain is worth it.As for the added digital voice recorder, I had this romantic notion that I would go for long walks while dictating. Hasn't happened yet, but still could. I do like seeing my dictation on the screen as I speak, though, so the recorder may not get used.

    Dragon Rocks!
  

*by B***B on Reviewed in the United States on March 19, 2014*

Dragon exceeded my expectations!  Takes minutes to set up. I had to develop a long presentation and Dragon saved me tons of time not having to type. I was able to spend more time focusing on the content of the presentation. I wrote this review using Dragon. My only suggestion would be to buy a better headset. The headset included is ok but an upgrade is much more comfortable. I bought a Logitech for about $30 that works great.
