Dragon NaturallySpeaking Premium 11 Student Edition [Old Version]

This software has saved my life!!! I love it...I am a fulltime student and I work partime. And I have to write papers all the time but I dont type. So it took me extra long..this program helps with that trmendously. Now all I do is write it out then speak it .....what took me hours takes me less than one hour..... Some things to consider, the headset that comes with it SUCKS your accuracy will be way off if you stick with it. I had to buy another one of better quality-- I now get 99% accuracy I had no problem getting my log in since I bought the student version and when i had a problem customer service@ Dragon was helpfull and walked me through the set up process without a hassle. Overall the program is great!!!! saves you alot of time.

This program has made writing papers for grad school so much better! I absolutely love not having to type every word. So far, its been accurate and very easy to use. I havent tried it with anything other than Microsoft Word, but so far love having it.

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.

I was very disappointed in the software. I purchased this product under the assumption I would be able to use this for my graduate classes. My plan was to record the lectures and then the software would transcribe the lectures for notes. Did not happen. You would have to make a profile for each voice to be transcribed, and even then I am not sure it would have worked for this. I have not reviewed the product description again to make sure, but I thought it said it was for lectures, so this was not correct. I tried getting help from the software company, but they never clearly gave instructions or help in solving this issue. So I have returned the product, hoping for a full refund. Bummed to say the least.

Working just great

Works really well!

Its very convenient to just talk and it types... like having an assistant write your dictation... Software takes a while to learn your voice and pronunciation so dont expect perfection at first... Overall, it is a welcomed tool on my computer, convenient, and time-saving...

Hi, This is the first review Ive ever written but wanted to tell you what a great product this is. I purchased this product because I have health issues that make it difficult to type and almost didnt purchase this because of all the negative reviews. Many other reviewers noted that there was great difficulty geting the serial number needed to install the product. Well, I have a .edu email address. I received the program, went to the verification website, answered the questions, and was immediately verified. I waited about 30 minutes to check my email and there was the serial number. I installed the program, did the tutorial and training sections and was up and running. The first thing I did was to dictate class notes. The terminology was very technical and specific to this graduate class subject. Dragon got all the words, as long as I pronounced them right :), and I cant tell you what a relief it has been for me to be able to do course work without experiencing pain in my arms.

I heard a lot of complaints about activation of the education edition. I didnt have any of those problems. I like this software because once it learns your field and how you talk it abbreviates where it is supposed to (like CPU, OS, DDR3) other speech software would spell it out (like see pee you, instead of CPU).

I have started using this product in the last half-hour and Im already using it to write the review. This software has quickly started recognizing my dictation. Activation was real simple provided you had a student e-mail account ending with a .edu. In my experience, it took me less than 5 min. to jump through the activation hoops. Others may have experienced problems because they did not have a EDU e-mail account. To my mind, this is a basic requirement that should be met. If someone does not have an EDU account it is very difficult to believe that he is a student. Student software then becomes a joke. The premium version of this software has been well reviewed by others on this site. I therefore do not have much to add to the review. Im enjoying using the software and I will report any problems if I should encounter any.
