Great program, extremely slow install

Reviewed in the United States on March 28, 2015

Platform For Display: PC DiscEdition: Disc w/ HeadsetVerified Purchase

I am now going to review Dragon Naturally Speaking 13, Home. (Business comes with tools for using Excel and other business programs I don't use that much.) I found the installation process a little interesting as the program progress bar does not seem to move at first. After a while, when I was about ready to give up, it did move and the installation continued. However it was very, very slow. I had turned off my antivirus software as suggested and followed the prompts. Installation process was slow enough that I could have literally gone out, made a meal and then come back and found the installation still in progress. This concerned me a little because I was not sure that my computer was up to the task of running this program as expected.
My computer runs Win 7 Pro, with a 2.66 GHz processor, four gigs of RAM even though Windows 7 can only utilize 3.5 gigs. I am now typing this in Word 2007 and it seems to be working quite well.
When I went through the registration process, I noticed that it one point a window came up and said that it needed the serial number. The serial number was already in the box and was highlighted. When I pressed continue or next, a window popped up and said that the registration was not completed. I went back and took out the highlighted number and then retyped it using the numbers at the top of the keyboard rather than on the keypad, as previous experiences shown that some programs in some instances will not accept the import from the keypad the same way they accept information from the numbers across the top of the keyboard above the letters. DO NOT put n the hyphens, as I believe the program will not register properly if you do. There is a sentence that tells you not to put them in.
Getting used to this is interesting as it seems to recognize all my words and unfortunately my bad grammar and my way of speaking in run-on sentences. However, as I learn the commands, I think that it will be quite helpful in getting my thoughts down at a higher rate of speed. So far the accuracy is very, very good probably more than 99%. It doesn’t like words like very, very good (two of the same word repeated.)
I just tried using Dragon in Final Draft 2.5. I use it for script writing and for movie production. The Dragon box came up and would allow me to paste my text into the program and it seemed to work just fine. This one extra step is probably not a huge issue and will actually allow me to edit my thoughts better than if I type directly into the program. So very pleased with this program so far.
Follow the instructions for installation to the letter. They are there for a reason and you probably won’t have any problems.

Great program--but the "package" deal is not so great.

Reviewed in the United States on September 8, 2014

Platform For Display: PC DiscEdition: Disc w/ HeadsetVerified Purchase

So far so good. I've been using the Windows Speech Recognition program that was built into Windows 7 (my current OS) but comparing Dragon to the Windows program is like comparing a Lexus to a Model T. They both do pretty much the same thing but Dragon does it FAR better. Some of the advantages of Dragon:

It is intuitive, whereas the Windows program doesn't seem to be, at least not nearly as much. For instance, when dictating (for example) "the weather was fair today" Dragon anticipates the meaning based on the context and will print "fair" rather than "fare", a problem that was chronic with the Windows program with many similar-sounding words.

It learns: the more you use it the better it gets. I've had mine for only a few weeks and it is already much better at transcribing what I say.

The commands seem to be designed for speed. For example with the Windows program if you want to capitalize a word or phrase you need to speak the phrase, then go back and highlight the word/words you want capitalized and say "capitalize". With Dragon, just saying "cap" before the word will capitalize the word. Other commands make equal sense. Some of the commands in Dragon are similar to the ones in the Windows program (and can work interchangeably) but with the ones that are different the Dragon versions seem much speedier.

The Text Box. With the Windows program there were applications that wouldn't accept dictation, in which case you'd need to open MS Word, speak your text and after it was written, cut-and-paste it into the document in your other application. With Dragon, it instantly recognizes when it cannot type into an application and will bring up a "text box" that allows you to dictate your text. When finished just use the "transfer" command and Dragon posts it into your document.

Problems? The instructions with the program tend to over-complicate things, but if you've used the windows program there is enough similarity so that once you've loaded Dragon you can use it immediately. However there are enough differences so that unless you really read the instructions and understand Dragon, you won't get nearly the speed out of it that it is capable of delivering. Also, I ordered the package deal with earphones and Dragon for Dummies--but if you do this please note that at least with the package I got, the Dragon for Dummies included was for Version 12, not Version 13 (which was the version of Dragon that I got) and there seemed to be enough differences so that the book, while helpful, is not the resource that it could be if it were based on the current version. Also note that the dragon software itself comes with a set of earphones (which I didn't know), so now I have two sets of earphones for the program, neither of which I use because of the analog connections (I have a USB set that is far superior to either of the two included with my order).

All in all, a very good bang for your buck and light-years ahead of the program I was using. Just be sure what is in the package you
are ordering.

Platform For Display: PC DiscEdition: Disc w/ HeadsetVerified Purchase

After several attempts by me to install the product, I had two lengthy conversations with Nuance Technical Support. Their technician with my permission entered my computer and made several failed attempts to install the product for me. A few days later I made a further telephone request to Nuance Technical Support to launch the product and they seemed to have lost interest and suggested that I get someone locally with a knowledge of computers to start it for me. I have used computers at work and at home for about 30 years and during that time successfully installed issues 7-12 inc) successfully. I found the Nuance Technical Support staff, who spoke to me., to be incompetent and rude'. I made a third telephone request of Nuance Technical Support to start the product, but they seemed to have lost all interest. It appears that I need to give the product a rating before my submission is forwarded to you. My rating for it is zero.

DNS 13 home version (HOME) – – a mature software that performs!

Reviewed in Canada on April 28, 2015

Platform For Display: PC DiscEdition: Disc w/ HeadsetVerified Purchase

I first tried DNS several years ago with the version 7 and found it to work fine, however, the user interface left much to be desired! Later, I had lots of trouble with the reinstalling after my computer crashed (not due to the speech recognition system) and I upgraded my computer and operating system. Recently, due to health reasons, I needed a replacement for my usual typing and tried the built-in speech recognition software in Windows 7. I found this extremely ineffective and so decided to try the Dragon speech recognition system once again.I purchased DNS version 13 home edition from from Amazon Canada. I simply couldn't get the installation going successfully on my Dell laptop and emailed Dragon Systems support. Within 24 hours I received an email from them asking for more details and within hours of that I received an email response for an alternative method of installation.it involved installing from the hard drive rather than the DVD. The instructions were very clear for the most part and worked like a charm!

I found the new version to work a lot smoother than the earlier version 7. The software interface is vastly superior and user-friendly with excellent help files. Once set, without much training the dictation works nearly flawlessly; indeed I am using the software to dictate this! Very few errors, on some difficult words, capitalization at the beginning of sentences particularly when there is a pause in the dictation.overall I'm very happy with the performance of this extremely helpful software.

One problem that I experienced, although it may have nothing to do with Dragon system software was noticed in the Virtual machine (XP) that I use on my XP Pro OS. It Would not shut down normally. I had to figure out with the help of Microsoft online help files, but once done, XP has been working nicely.I suspect that this XP mishap was independent of Dragon software.

HIGHLY recommended!!

Speech software works but beware of broken headset included.

Reviewed in Canada on October 14, 2018

Platform For Display: PC DiscEdition: Disc w/ HeadsetVerified Purchase

The software works and works great! Easy to use and fun. I actually opened the internet with speech! That was dapper. The installation was confusing but that's because I'm not tech savvy. I love the speech recognition it's fantastic and definitely a time saver. I would have loved to give this product a perfect score; however, the default headset that was included with the package was broken. Honestly I didn't expect much from the default headset. Looked crappy even in the pictures before buying. Anyways I had to go out and buy a new headset.
