Top Customer Reviews: Dragon Professional ...
Am writing this description that Dragon of uses professional Character 15.0 and the Plantronics M 50 Bluetooth headset that has has bought years partorisca my mobile phone.
Ossia My first time that uses the software of recognition of the voice of the dragon and could not be impressed more (5/5). Out of a box, a software is more than 90 attentive same partorisca my parents, those who use some Indians accented English profile.
Has given this product to 2/5 indication like the result of a headset this comes with a container, which is the piece of rubbish (0/5). In one was of easy of easy direct connections among devices, because the nuance chooses the headset that force his clients covers he-in the USB dongle to sustain the connection among a headset and the software? My old years Plantronics M 50 Bluetooth headset (available on Amazon for less than 20 bucks) does not require a dongle and works so only well.
Saves $ 100 and the plot of headache and buy Dragon 15.0 Professional (which is simply fabulous) without a Bluetooth headset container (which is simply rubbishes).
In general touch the súper the produced and I would recommend it to any the one who is considering using transcription of voice enmedio professional.

Has touched sooner of Dragon NaturallySpeaking has done well, but an accuracy was so only a lot a lot enough for me to use them every day. This in spite of, have taken used to dictate frames of punctuation together with text. With this program of recognition of the tongue, the cadence Is Everything . If you are hesitant, or provisional, will not like you your results. For chances, a capitalisation in a leading sentence has been dictated as follows: 'Camp-cadence, Camp-is, Camp-everything.' A calm program also leave to select words or sentences enough with accuracy and easily, and to modify or modify a selection.
A computer am using is five years, is running Windows 2000 in the Pentium 4 processor clocking 600 MHz. It was the bit has concerned that it would be the small to retard to treat until my expectations. This in spite of, looks to be doing so only well. I am dictating this to the window of word, to minimise some the harmful effects of the mandate have comprised bad. Although this program of the recognition of the tongue can have the habit to control your computer, are not gutsy enough to try this. A the mandate has comprised badly critical could potentially feeble immense havoc. But perhaps they are fooling I -- while it has dictated this description, I accidentally shot of the backup that has had to kill manually with a mouse. Ossia potent Material; some concentration and the attention is required.
This in spite of, a new version of Dragon NaturallySpeaking is a lot quite that expects to do to plot less writing in a future. A neighbour up was to the fastest plot that leading versions, and has has had to that so only read for the pocolos small. A forward reviewer recommended that leaves a program to examine your documents and adapt your way; ossia the really good idea . In mine portable, some looks to program to run a computer out of resources, and has had to Restart my computer the pair of time. Also, once a battery is resulted down, was a kiss of death -- I has had to run, any Iraq, to a next plus outlet. But these are minor inconveniences when you consider a power and accuracy of a new software. A tutorials is excellent; highly it recommends that calm take them. So much habladuría to your computer, but dictate arriesgadamente, confidently, and quickly. Calm will not go back never to write.
Has the worry that like the program takes more attentive, could has to that spend to plot to time proofreading for errors very obvious occasional in a text. ( It is annoying when the word in the document is obviously wrong -- the always looks a writer was careless or ignorant.) I think that Dragon NaturallySpeaking will produce more than his action of these errors, but the only time will say.
Like this far, am very impressed, and am pleased that has bought a program.
With which I a formation, then some updates of computers some files. Once this is to be do has tried out of a program and he have done wonderfully. It does deceptions, but has found is had to mostly to me mumbling or not pronouncing a word clearly. If memories to speak like you would be to read more than the converstation with the partner, goes much smoother. This program hopefully help of the jumps and bounds with my writing.
Commentaries:
1) there is GB of RAM, roughly 6 paragraphs of dictation calms a memory. I have looked for to use he with 256 MB of RAM and immediately upgraded.
2) Be patient. A software improves to recognise your voice. I have found with which roughly 6 paragraphs of dictation does not recognise my voice also.
Another while, is truely astounding. If calm asked, at present am writing the east was. It has written the paper and killed a memory with Dragon. I will restart and maintain working... It enjoys.
Top Customer Reviews: Dragon ...
On done the month, has received an order promptly of Amazon and anxiously installed the, or tried. It could not solve some questions for my account, as I have called Emphasize 'the first called is free'. After jumping by means of the number of hoops, was to arrive and that careers ... For awhile. When I have tried tip has been, has done in an application, then another, then ... It leaves on everything. Another time, has begun to do again, then leave.
When it has DONE, was the delight , almost like magic. I have bought an after staging headset locally, and while it has not been like this attentive, has done and aimed a question was a headset.
Has contacted Amazon for the turn (prime minister of mine to them), and has to that say, was a smoother turn, easier has not done never for an internet or catalog compraventa. To the amazon has paid to ship both ways and has sent a new a forward of an old one has been received. Absolutely enormous service.
Like this far, like this well with a new headset. In chance of questions, has decided to maintain an additional a, although I prefer a a resupplied, while work.
Like an additional element of information has related, a web of place of Nuance resupplies the cast of compatible hardware. After studying that it loans and doing investigation further, has purchased the Sony UX80 recorder laptop directly of Sony, of then has not been available of Amazon. That can do is record to a Sony, load to your computer, and have turn of Dragon he to a word impresa.
Was the addition adds : 1.7 oz., 1 AAA Battery, whose life alleges is a estupefaciente 34 hours. 24 hours that time records in general qualities, 590 hours in the lowest quality. Formed of Mp3, propiciado by USB built in and a quality is surprising. In $ 160, it has to has mate to a Dragon.
A PROS:
1.) The in fact done dragon the very good work to recognise dictation. Calm he precise spends 15 minutes that coaches it, and yes can sees will take some time to result the user to be able to fluid with everything of some mandates and customise your personal vocabulary.
2.) Beginner Very a lot of tutorials to take you going hardly is installed.
A GILIPOLLAS:
1.) Arrogant company, difficult to treat.
2.) You same load for support of email - can calm to believe it?!
3.) Hard to imagine out of next steps to learn more than material of beginner. Yes it has the section of help, but is class of stray with the technology complicated (and does not dare technology of call. Support). Like six unsure that/yes will improve over time, or owe calm so only do the fast decision to return a product.
4.) He disorders with your memory of computer and some shady things (I a lot of opinions 'Finals now...' Messages when I closure a computer now.
SURROUND LIKE THIS FAR:
has had any competition to speak of the dragon would be in question big. But there is not a lot, like masters the recognition of calm tongue takes it or calm leave it.
In fact done the very good work of recognition of tongue. Period. I can speak like this quickly like this possible and he the work adds (commentaries that I upgraded my memory to 2 Gb still XP Pro, and has added the paper of his to do sure that my system was until sado). Yes, you have to practise saying each word clearly, but my Mamma said that 30 years ago in all the chance.
A quality of his has to that be glass and the big quality clears for him to do in transcribing way.
Was unable to take the simple and that has thought was the clear digital voice that the records transcribed with this software -- and ossia that has bought partorisca!
Has thinks that was to save the time that transcribes has registered glimpsed and conferences, but has finalised to expect now or more for computers to transcribe two sentences and then freeze my computer also.
Laws well quite calm once the take dipped ready your voice for dictation but am not sold at all in a transcription, still. I will try service of client and support of technology, but if he no with which go to return this to a company.
Has had a lot of pocolos to disappoint me. Some headphones that is coming with a product was far too small, in that give me the headache when I spent them takes very long (I has the quite small boss also). I have finalised to twist a microphone the bit and so only spending it headset around the mine with the, which so only well. An only another negative is that these produced is not available for Macintosh users.
In general, is extremely state pleased with this program and highly would recommend it to any but Mac users.
Have the quite pronounced 'twang' emphasis, like this perhaps are the little more patient with this software that another reviewers has been. Everything knows is that while I seat and show for another only that effective this program is (I use he Plantronic 3-in-1 headset when dictating), the people tend to be quite blown went by.
Does not have any idea like effective DNS version 10 is reason have decided to buy version 9 after spending to plot to time to research some two produced and reading some descriptions. This compraventa has a lot of fact well for me and I anticipate to use DNS for a rest of my career. For a way, I type 70 words by minute this in spite of finds this software there is dramatically has augmented my productivity.
Good regime.
Are writing this without touching my computer. I am seating behind in my chair that listens to the music and that pause to the microphone. And like this far, a computer has not done the alone deception. Dragon Of course that Pause dictation the software surprised when I used it in brief the few years done and, as one could expect, has improved dramatically of then. I have coached he for only 20 or 30 minutes after the install this morning and is already at least 95 attentive. And an accuracy will continue to improve every time use it.
Perhaps one the majority of addition of mine of entity setup, this in spite of, is a microphone am using. It is TheBoom the noise that annuls microphone (I calls it my magic microphone). Using it, can seat in the tent of people of caffè full that speaks, music blaring, and calls directed of conference of entity without any in another end of a line having any idea that am not seating in my office. A microphone chooses especially says, although I am muttering, but does not choose on any of a background noise.
This lack of noise is critically of entity when using software of recognition of the voice. A less noise has, a Dragon a fast plus can imagine out of that is saying and some less deceptions will do. When I have used Dragon before I have had to that be enmedio quite calm for him to do. With Dragon and theBoom mic, can seat in my office with music blaring or the tent of caffè noisy and dictate documents, email, IM -- anything. In fact it looks for tents of the caffè noisier reason then can dictate without any overhearing which follows to say.
Calms to plot to write every day, the dragon could save both times and ache. I have begun to feel ache in my hands and of the lowest arms the years of pair does and has known that has has had to that something. I have improved my place, has augmented a frequency of my pauses of a computer, and has added recently he Wacom compressed to a mix. But any of these has done almost a difference that mark of software of recognition of voice. In this a lot of the moment am sustaining behind in my chair with my behind the hands of mine @to extend of boss like said. I can literally book of the exercises to the equal that write!
Has the new technologies that exited every day and, while many to touch very orderly, pocolos of for real surprise me anymore. It is refreshing and exciting to discover new technologies and new applications to exist technologies that has such the massive impact, positive in mine every day life.
A product was easy to install and easy to learn. Janet Uses all a time and say me has wished has had this does the year. A software writes like this quickly like this of course tongue.
Like the software has learnt his voice, less and fewer words were bad. Today it can dictate or read pages of information with practically any errors of word. Perhaps one or two errors for page of measure of full paper.

Top Customer Reviews: IBM ViaVoice Pro ...
ViaVoice Version 10 has been this in spite of the nightmare. Still I have not been able of the install in the Win2K-SP4 computer. They are the quite anticipated computer person/of systems of the programmer with 20+ years of experience.
The support is virtually non-existent of Scansoft. Mina 30 days of free support of IBM where has purchased a product has not been honored. All the support has to that come from Scansoft.
The characteristic is, if I can access him. Seriously I am thinking of demanding my money behind. State of Washington there is a bit a lot of consumer friendly laws regarding "Fitness for Purpose", a reason of plus am appreciated to live in a Noreste.
I, unfortunately, tried to use Browser of Internet, and a support was less than stellar. A mandate of voice esurf a web' has launched the and one 'house', 'behind', and 'before' the mandates have done well to do an obvious. But a undocumented the mandates am resulted tones the navigation. The tab of a field or link to a prójimo, says 'next field'. 'Leading field' is like the turn-tab to go behind. 'Next line' and 'leading line' look to be equivalent to a down and on arrows.
A microphone has comprised with this container is Andrea NC-61 joint with a pod of USB of Andrea, which is the half of the paper of his (side of only microphone) this connects by means of your port of USB. I have found a quality of a pod to be excellent. Andrea announces a NC-61 headset so that using the noise that annuls technology, but has found this microphone to not even be directional, and quite useless in any half in that any more has spoken, this in spite of softly, in a same room. I have purchased for separate Andrea ANC-750 microphone and a noise that annuls in this microphone was quite good. (Note: there is some white noise in a background ossia audible he uses a ANC-750 to do the register, but this would have to that be ignored, how is part of a noise that annuls system.)
A better action was when I has used the microphone of studio of big quality enmedio calm to create my profile of voice to read his text. An accuracy of recognition has surprised. I have used a AKG C-3000 (precise phantom has beaten), but has listened that he Sennheiser MD431 II is another excellent microphone, and has noise annulling held also. A better action has taken of mine ANC-750 headset was when I have used a profile of the voice created with a C-3000.
Gives a part of recognition of the voice of a software he 5, a navigational qualified the 2, and a microphone has comprised the 2, for this my indication of 3 in general.
Update: 5/5/2004: I have contacted ScanSoft to discover yes is doing patches it to do it compatable with Word 2003. His regular response are ' is doing on that.' If you go to his web of place will find that they still have not dipped in the plea of authorship that no with all the editions of Word. So only it say that you read with Word. I ask those that reembolsas are giving was the paralizaciones dud that announce? It is it has surprised also that some magazines of PC OF THE ENTITY does not have on elected is.
And sometimes opens and sometimes he no. Mainly no.
Then finds Google..
Question:
after launching Dragon or ViaVoice and clicking link he in an of some papers, some locks of system up or freezings. Other symptoms comprise Dragon NaturallySpeaking is to Select-and-Say or ViaVoice dictation and the lacking mandates in Office of Microsoft XP applications, likes Word and Perspective of Microsoft.
Cause:
Office of Microsoft XP "Alternating Entrance of User" it installs the background process called which can interfere with Dragon or ViaVoice. A following information has been taken of a web of place of Microsoft:
"... Monitors some active windows and resupplies support of service of entrance of text for recognition of tongue, recognition of paper, keyboard, translation, and other technologies of entrance of alternative user...."
And can take NO, repeats, NO, help of ScanSoft.
No SHABBY!

Was able to maintain up with my class during some six weeks was in the mould. My arm is still in the mainstay and still am using a software in the daily base. In fact I am using a software to write this description. Highly it recommends this software to any concealed precise to write papers of the investigation or this does the plot of the computer that writes in the daily base.
Are such the strong believer in a software that knows will continue to use the same when my starts of mainstay.
Has found a very compatible and easy software to use included to answer my emails quickly and efficiently.
This could be a perfect software to take for any university student. To be able to look in of the books of investigation and habladuría to a computer to the equal that are looking on material of the reference is for real advantageous. It was also very easy to take software of Dragon when you have required to to take the pause thinks that that that has required to write afterwards. All have required to say was 'go to sleep' and a microphone in bylines was until calm the awake was.
The sum he everything on a software was very easy to use and easy to dip up. I recommend it highly.
