THIS PRODUCT SHIPS IN OEM PACKAGING -
GO GREEN AND SAVE GREEN
Manufacturers sometimes offer discounts when large quantities of products are purchased without fancy, colorful, retail packaging. We take advantage of these opportunities to bring you the same quality, retail product at a lower price. Retail packaging is designed to look good on a store shelf and attract your attention. It frequently includes more paper, plastic and cardboard than needed. OEM packaging is not as visually attractive but is far more economical and because OEM packaging uses less paper, plastic, ink and cardboard it creates less waste and is better for the environment. Although OEM packaged product ships in a plain white or brown box you can be assured it is the same quality product as the retail packaged version. Buying OEM packaged products saves you money and helps save the planet…GO GREEN AND SAVE GREEN. Included accessories, software, documentation, and manufacturer warranties on OEM products may vary from retail versions. Please review our detailed specifications and photo gallery for included accessories and see below for warranty information.

I bought this for my husband as he hates to type, or he will ask me to. Now he can & does most of his own with the help of this product.

I've used older versions of Dragon and this clearly is much better. It still has issues with command execution that require you keep you mouse close by if you want to get everything done.
Voice accuracy is quite good and understanding inflections and variation don't seem to be an issue. A "must" is making certain you have a good quality microphone since I find the provided headset to be uncomfortable if you spend more than 15-20 minutes using it.
Impressive, best version yet.

Not perfect, but best program of its type I have found to date. Proofreading still mandatory, because the program still seems to have difficulty with small words such as a,an & it. Would be nice if it offered choices in cases of uncertainty. For example should it spell a name Kathy or Cathy. Having to train it to handle new words such as unusual last names can be a bit irritating, but understandable. This review was dictated using the product because even with its flaws it is still much more accurate and quicker than typing it by hand.

If I were using the computer with dragon Naturally Speaking 10 installed,I would be dictatint this review instead of laboriously typing it, whuch for me is a real chore.
The product works far better than I expected. Are there mistakes? of course, some because the pprogram misses, often because I am still learning to speak clearly, avoid the use of command words (such as "correct") and hesitating or making false starts. Dictation takes practice.
The initial practice reading of selected texts went very smoothly. I immediately dictated some letters and a newsletter article with remarkably good results.
For me, the cleanup editing of the expected mistakes was far faster and more comfortable that typing the whole bunch (and would have eliminated much rework on this review).
Five stars for the program and two for my dictation skills.
Best price!

Years ago I bought version 5 and it worked pretty well - this is light years ahead of that version.
