Review by LA

I am very fast on the computer, both in terms of maneuvering in and out of programs and typing. This is not a product I need, but I did give it to my partner who struggles with typing.

Set up took a long time. I began to lose my patience, especially when I finally started using the product and discovered it was nowhere near 99% accurate.

Also, the headset arrived damaged. The headset feels and looks cheap. I did a minor repair on it but then discovered that my more expensive headset worked more efficiently. Since dictation is so important to Dragon you’d think Nuance would provide a better headset.

My partner enjoyed working with the program more than I did. She thinks it may benefit her especially in typing e-mails.

I am intrigued by the ability to use voice commands to control the computer. I like the idea of a voice activated PC and will continue to experiment with that.

Overall, however, I was disappointed in Dragon’s accuracy.
