Dragon NaturallySpeaking Premium 11 Student Edition [Old Version]

This is the worst, It doesnt recognize anything I say to it. It was a waste of money and time!

Awesome experience with this product!!! It was everything I expected when I purchased it. I very pleased with this purchased.

The Dragon software is great. The process for verifying that you are purchasing the software for a student is terrible. I bought Dragon NaturallySpeaking Premium 11 Student Edition on January 9, it was delivered on January 11, and I installed it that evening. They have a process for verifying that the product is for a student which is inconvenient, but understandable. They want a copy of the students report card, which I gave them. For weeks, I received no response, and so was forced to pay for an alternative solution. Today, I got an email from identit-e Customer Service [[email protected]], that says Your request for eligibility has been placed on hold pending receipt of proof of eligibility. The program rules indicate that we must receive the required eligibility information within 15 days or this request will be rejected. I found the eligibility verification process onerous, poorly designed, non responsive, inconvenient, and in the end, non-functional. I found myself wishing that the product description warned about this process so I could have spend a few extra dollars and avoided the hassle. Thats why Im writing this so try to save someone else from this trap. Im sending the software back today.

HAVE NOT BEEN ABLE TO TOTALLY EVALUATE IT YET, BUT THE DRAGON NATURALLY PROGRAM IS WORKING AS EXPECTED WITH A FEW GLITCHES WITH WINDOWS WORD 2010 BUT MANAGEABLE

Its OK for general use but I has a specific use for it. I wanted to read numerical grades and have it in numbers in Excel. It is a bit slow, and certain numbers dont seem to come out. Even after repeating it several times it still does not appear. As for general text wtiting it seems OK. Any suggestions?

Buyer beware! Have you paid for this software, you cannot download it unless you get a code from an itinerary organisation, and if you are not someone from the big time school or university they will deny you the code in your money has been wasted! Do you not buy this

I was hoping for a painless process getting my serial no. based on one or two favorable student reviews. You have to go to there site and download some form of school ID. before you can get serial no.. This sounds simple but can be complicated because you have to wait for Nuance to get back to you which they say could take up to 30 days. I read that and said to myself no way, I will send this back Pronto. I finally got through to someone on the phone after there meeting at 10 a.m. (no one answers the phone from 9-10 ) who gave me little hope except to try live chat, which was my solution. They viewed a form of school ID I downloaded them ( not a student ID ) and was approved and had my serial no. emailed to my school edu. address in less than 10 minutes. There approval process to me seemed antiquated at best and painstakingly frustrating at least. Now if I can get Amazon to give me my training Video that appears to be part of promo purchase I will be ecstatic. I then loaded Dragon with version 11.5 sweeeeeet! Included headset did not work well at all. I have a pair of Turtle Beach gaming headphones ( x11 ) that worked real well with Dragon which kind of surprised me because they did not work very well with Microsoft Voice Recognition ( I guess that is why I purchased Dragon, Duh ). Well I hope that helps some of you who truly do want to slay the typing Dragon with ground breaking speeds.

I have owned Dragon NaturallySpeaking since version 3, and have always appreciated the excellent improvements. My experience with Version 11 is that it is a significant downgrade from the quality I have been used to. The software crashes frequently and I have to exit and reload to continue. Ive tried reinstalling, but that does not help. In addition, simple things are quite annoying like if I place my cursor at the beginning of a sentence, it does not capitalize automatically. It also does not add spaces automatically. Dragon NaturallySpeaking never used to do this with the previous Version 9 and 10 that Ive owned. On the more positive side, the accuracy is excellent, and Ive experienced that with previous versions. In my view, definitely not worth upgrading unless theres other applications or improvements that suit ones needs, of which Im unaware.

Just to write a quick review about this product in general. Im not sure why people were saying that they were having problems with the registration process. I literally filled out the form in about 30 seconds and instantly received an email with the product key. The product works great, just like other NaturallySpeaking software Ive used in the past

Works really well!
