NaturallySpeaking 9 translates your voice dictations into Microsoft Word and Excel, Corel WordPerfect, and virtually all Windows-based applications. View larger. | 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?

 No, I am not dictating this review! November 19, 2008
I did the training. I did a lot of training. This thing turns itself off whenever it feels like it. The "Help" feature is the worst ever. Sometimes the dictation, -- iof I can get it to work at all - comes out pretty good, but sometimes complete and utter gibberish appears. Solmetimes it gets the last part of a sentence only. I hate this crappy software!!!
Good Product Lousy Company November 11, 2008
I had Dragon's Naturally 7 and I thought it was a pretty good product. When I got a new computer I upgraded to 9 - and what a mess its been. I'm going to do a bad thing and write a review before I've even used the product. I accept that it will basically do what its supposed to do - its getting it to start that is the problem. The program is activated but the microphone will not turn on - so the product is useless at the moment.
Their support system is atrocious; since I bought it several months ago I'm out of my 'free call' period. Not only will it cost me $20 to talk to someone about it it'll cost me $10 just to e-mail. There's absolutely nothing on their FAQ's about the program being unwilling to even turn on. An attempt to join their community forum failed.
My take; Nuance is just another tech company that doesn't a hoot about customer support; if I had another choice I'd be with them in second.

I'M SURE DRAGON SPEAK WORKS FINE, BUT IT GOT LOST IN THE MAIL...SO, I HAVEN'T USED IT YET
 Addition Improved August 29, 2008
This is an improvement over the previous edition. Its speech recognition is much improved.
However I did use it to type this opinion and it first typed addition rather than edition. But maybe I just need another cup of morning coffee.
 What a great product August 19, 2008
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.
