Dragon NaturallySpeaking Premium 11 Student Edition [Old Version]

As other reviewers have said, it is impossible to verify the software for the student edition. Had to return it to amazon after many failed emails and calls to try get it verified. Worthless if I cant use it!

I tried a version of this product 16 years ago and did not like it. This version and that version differ like night and day. I love it. I plan to buy additional copies for all of my computers and several of my children who are in school. The accuracy is astonishing and the ease of use is incredible. If you try it, you will not regret it.

I bought this only to transcribe taped interviews for a class project. I trained the program with my voice at least 3 times. The transcripts that resulted were just absolute nonsense, they were not even remotely similar to the actual conversations. I expected some confusion, maybe confusing There for Thier and stuff like that, but the sentences were just gobbletigook. If thats what youre planning on using this for, dont do it, its a waste of your money.

Okay everybody, I am not one to write a review, but after seeing everything that has been written about this product, I decided I must write a review. A lot of people, have been bad mouthing the fact, that you have to verify your student status to receive the serial number from Nuance. I can tell you now, for all of you who have a .edu address, this will not be a challenge whatsoever. I received my Dragon NaturallySpeaking, from UPS about an hour ago. Within that time, I did the online verification of my student status, received my serial number, install the program, and I am now writing this review I using my headset and my Dragon NaturallySpeaking. One recommendation I would strongly make, is that you invest in a better headset. I invested in the Koss CS 100 headset is thus far everything is working very clearly. I spent about 20 min. reading some of the documentation that they give you to learn your voice. In that short period of time, you see the results. As a graduate student, who is often writing anywhere between 20 and 60 pages a week of text this is going to be a lifesaver. I hope many of you will be able to make the same investment.

Unfortunately, all posted links to the education validation on the Nuance site are broken. What IS this mysterious process anyway? Are part-time graduate students eligible for the Premium 11 Student version? Thanks.

New Dragon software arrived today but the headset included does not work!! I cant even call the Nuance technical support because they do not have Saturday service!! Its terrible right now.

overall is that some people dont have @xxx.edu email addresses. If you have one, then you get your access code within 15 minutes. Right out of the box, it as excellent functionality (and Im using the crappy headphones that come with it). My field in graduate school is kind of esoteric and Im in health care already so there are a ton of terms that I thought this product would trip up on but it does very well. Especially after you do the training and let it scan over your word documents. Its really increased my productivity. Also, I thought the lag time between when you finish talking and when it appears on the screen would be a problem when I was watching the youtube videos of it in action, but its really not that bad of a lag. And even more, you could go on for like a good 20-30 seconds without stopping and after the lag, itll still show up very accurate.

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

i have a question about this, my son is a student at highschool in nj, and i am a principal at a school in nj. my question is can we get the student teacher discounted price.

Company did not able to activate the software using student email address. Required additional IDs. Tried for week and finally returned back to Amazon. NO problems at return.
