4.0 out of 5 stars Reduces my keyboard use by 80%, 22 May 2007
Perhaps the best way of reviewing this software is by reading a text and not correcting it so that you can see how many errors Dragon naturally speaking makes.
Here is an extract taken from The Reason Why, by Cecil Woodham-Smith:

Before The Light Brigade had advanced 50 yards the Russian guns crashed out, and great clouds of smoke rose at the end of the valley. A moment later an extraordinary and inexplicable incident took place. The advance was proceeding at a steady trot when suddenly Nolan, riding beside his friend Captain Maurice in the first line, urged on his horse and galloped diagonally across the front.
Galloping madly a head and to the right, he crossed in front of Lord Cardigan -- an unprecedented breach of military etiquette -- and, turning in his saddle, shouted and waved his sword as if he would address The Brigade. Had he suddenly realised that his interpretation of the order had been wrong, and that in his impetuosity he had directed the Light Brigade to certain death? No one will ever know, because at that moment a Russian shell pressed on the right of Lord Cardigan, and a fragment tour at its way into Nolan's breast, exposing his heart.

As you can see, there are some errors, but once you have learnt to use the software correction is quite an easy process.I still use the keyboard, but much less than I used to.
I installed Dragon NaturallySpeaking 9 on a Dell laptop with one Gb of RAM. the only technical problem that persists is that the software does not like to hibernate. I suspect that this is because the user files must be saved before shutting down the programme.

5.0 out of 5 stars I love this software!, 17 Oct 2006
By Paul S. Weaver (Brighouse, W Yorks United Kingdom) - See all my reviews
(REAL NAME)   
This product really does do what it says it does and makes typing effortless. As you would expect I am writing this review using Dragon voice recognition software. The accuracy rate is simply stunning. Within 20 minutes of installing the software I was able to dictate the entire front page of the Guardian newspaper with only three corrections required. I have been a fan of Dragon and its various incarnations over the last five years but this version does seem to be as near perfect as I can imagine. My only minor reservation is that I have not been able to successfully get it to work with my nine-year-old daughter's voice. However she gets an excellently with version 8.

As for the previous reviewer who really seems to have struggled with the programme, all I can think of is that the programme is fairly demanding in terms of system resources and needs a minimum of 1 GB of RAM. This would explain the frequent crashes he was experiencing. If like me you are a fairly mediocre typist then this software is completely liberating and a joy to use. So far during this dictation I have only had to make one correction. I have the preferred edition which does claim to offer greater compatibility with other programmes. However even version 8 in its standard form allowed me to dictate into virtually any programme. The only limitation was that in some programmes I could not correct and train mistakes.

All in all I think this is a superb programme that almost makes the dictation process a pleasure.

5.0 out of 5 stars Very pleased indeed, 31 Oct 2007
By Matthew D. Browning - See all my reviews
(REAL NAME)   
Having had an older version of NaturallySpeaking (7) I was aware of the versatility of this software. Unfortunately my old laptop went to the wall and when it my voice recognition software.

I returned to banging away on the keyboard which is frustrating and not very natural for me.

Once installed I was a bit disappointed to have to repeat the same training that I did on my old software, however 10 minutes later and it's all working.

And very impressed with the accuracy of version 9, the older versions required quite a lot of correcting and customising of the dictionary. In the hour since I've been using the new software I have hardly had to correct anything and I know that it is already adjusting itself to the kind of words I use.

Whatever anybody says about this software, it is simply the only voice recognition software (outside NASA) that actually does what it is supposed to do. For anybody who finds general typing a tedious process this programme is likely to enhance your ability and your motivation to put things down on paper.
