Review by Lawrence Anastasi

I wanted to try the Dragon Standard because when I type my mind wanders and I start loosing my train of thought or get off subject. It works good for me, I don’t use all the punctuations and the other aids that you can set up in this program, I just use the basic dictation then punctuate as I proof read and make minor adjustments. This program fits the bill.

When I read through the installation and set up I got worried that it would be complicated. It was not. I used the quick install, I read through the short voice recognition exercises ( which is critical for successful results) and that was it, simple and clean. I am not a computer wiz but it installed easily and worked great.

The important part is making sure your mic is set up in front of your mouth properly. To use the program just open the program, turn on the mic, open up a microsoft page, put the headset that came with the program on, I set up the mic into position then begin a few short test sentences. I move the mic up and down after each sentence until I find the right position whereby it catches all my words accurately, then I am good to go.

To start a new paragraph I just hit enter, I keep it simple and it works just fine.

For the price , simplicity and convenience it worth buying.
