5.0 out of 5 stars Amazingly Good Software, 29 Oct 2006
By Tellboy (Manchester) - See all my reviews
(TOP 100 REVIEWER)    (VINE VOICE)   
Although it seemed initially expensive I had read so many good reviews that I decided to buy it even though I had been very disappointed with the earlier versions which I abandoned.
I followed the brief (about 15 minutes) voice recognition training after setup and after about 2 weeks of use where some words needed extra correction through the microphone to adjust to my slurred speech it is now amazingly almost 100% accurate at ten times faster than I type.
The only two problems I encountered are:-
1 The microphone actually turns off when I first open the program needing the XP control panel, sound to be reset to microphone. Mldly annoying but probably my sound card setup.
2 When dictating into Outlook Express all is well until you try to add a picture to your email. Outlook Express just shuts down and you have lost your dictated text. The solution is to use the Dragon Pad and copy this across after you have done an email attachment
Overall a very good purchase, I am sure you will enjoy it.

5.0 out of 5 stars This is brilliant software!, 21 Sep 2006
By A. F. Green (Scotland) - See all my reviews
(REAL NAME)   
I have used the earlier version of this software for many years in my business, it has always being good but required a great deal of correction.
This latest version is absolutely brilliant! It learns very quickly and makes very few mistakes. There is no comparison with the earlier version and its glitches.

I would recommend this to anyone who like myself has great volumes of text to get through in their work. It takes very little training initially, learns very quickly as it goes on and is very user-friendly.
I am totally delighted with it and would thoroughly recommend it!

4.0 out of 5 stars Brilliant, but beware, 11 July 2007
By Anthony Stamp (Colchester, England) - See all my reviews
(REAL NAME)   
I have used this product both personally and training students, many of whom have disabilities. Generally it is brilliant and works just as it should. But beware of a couple of points. Most of the students who have had difficulties and found it inaccurate are female; it seems to have more difficulties recognising the higher pitched voices. But do not give up - with patience it can work very well for women too.
The other thing to beware of is that many laptops do not have adequate sound 'cards' to work with the supplied headset - the generic multi-media chips are simply not up to the job. The solution is simple - get a USB headset. Plantronics make excellent ones at around £35. Most desktop sound cards work fine.
