Because this software came with its own hardware, it’s a complete package. I did not realize my headphones weren’t working with my computer. Because the dragon headphones have a USB plug included, along with the splitter, they should fit about any computer. My computer is about six years old but needed to have the USB functionality for the headphones. Now I can talk to type to my hearts content!

The problem with Dragon NaturallySpeaking is this, if you're like me you cannot use a keyboard you have to rely on Dragon NaturallySpeaking. The two problems are this one if you put in a password using Dragon this usually will not work because you did not use the keyboard. Number two, also Dragon will mess up your browser when you use it. When you're trying to look up something on who and you use Dragon. A lot of times Dragon will open other Windows in your browser and your browser will freeze up. There are a lot of other issues you need to overcome when using Dragon. Dragon will not allow you to use windows of information like this one, a lot of times you have to use what's called a dictation pad transfer which does not always work is very time-consuming. In my case I had no other way to communicate. Now after I get through typing this with Dragon I will have to push keys on the keyboard in order for me to submit this because the review does not recognize Dragon.Read full review

I have been using Dragon for quite a few years now and have upgraded from Dragon eight, to Dragon 12. I talked to the representative from Nuance asking what the difference between Dragon 12 and Dragon 13 is, and there just wasn't enough difference between them to warrant the cost. Although I really love using Dragon, and use it every day for a lot of different kinds of communication, there is one part that I'm very disappointed about. After having some trouble using it on Yahoo, and a couple of other applications, their tech support people told me that there was some sort of problem using Dragon on my Yahoo email, and even on some Facebook applications. Their solution was that I change to another different email application. I just wish they had told me that up front before I bought Dragon 12. They also told me that Dragon 13 also has the same problem. So in summation, I love Dragon and recommend it to people, although I still believe they have some bugs to work out.Read full review
I recv'd the 12.5 version. What a great deal and the program is awesome!!! Wish I had made this purchase months sooner. The key to this program is to create your user profile to allow the program to adapt to your way of speaking. This program is WORTH EVERY PENNY! I hate typing, but I LOVE talking. The more you use it, it saves your speech profiles to constantly improve how it picks up every thing you say....even jargon! If you buy this program, take the time to create a user profile so that you can get the most accurate dictation. Don't just buy it, skip the training and then complain it doesn't work. This is one of the best programs for people who want to make money online, write term papers, create study notes, blog, whatever...but hate typing like I do. I will no longer wait until the last minute to type a paper, because "I" don't have to type!!! Two thumbs up for Dragon 12.5!!!Read full review
A wonderful tool that requires both you and it to learn so that text matches your talk. Greatly improved from earlier additions. Microphone is sensitive and easy to use. So far, a marriage in progress.

I have been trying to use Dragon to put file words in alphabetical order in a list using excel. Not much luck, it causes word groups to disappear. I am not good with excel, but it's certainly not my first endeavor either. Dragon is not perfect by any standard, but is does do fairly good at getting words correct. This even though I know I do miss pronounce some words. Yet Dragon does manage to usually get them right. Dragon also gets the spelling correct, I am sure I can not say the same about me. I cud butt that wood gust bee tab.

I purchased Dragon NaturallySpeaking for two reasons. First, my typing is excruciatingly slow, and second, I have had difficulty with spelling my entire life. I am using Dragon NaturallySpeaking to write this review. The software has unchained me for my keyboard, and it is one of the best tools I have purchased in recent years. Now that I've been using it for about three weeks, it types near flawlessly. If you are looking for a tool to assist you in getting your ideas on paper, Dragon NaturallySpeaking is exactly what you're looking for. However, be prepared to spend 30 to 45 minutes in the beginning setting up and training NaturallySpeaking. Although the initial set up is time-consuming, it is well worth every minute of your time. Papers and documents that were taking two hours to complete are now taking approximately 30 to 45 minutes. If you have toyed with the idea of purchasing Dragon NaturallySpeaking, I highly recommend this product.Read full review
Works great. There is a learning curve for making corrections in spelling, punctuation, etc.

I had read that v13 was slow and not as good as 12.5 so I ordered 12 with box stating 12.5 v... Received it quickly and attempted to install on my brand new laptop... WILL NOT WORK WITH WINDOWS 10... ok, so how about an upgrade ??? What do you do if you have 12 and take advantage of the free Win10 upgrade. DRAGON SUPPORT SAID "TOO BAD, NOTHING THEY CAN DO"... SO I AM JUST OUT THE BUCKS... Who knows if v13 will work with Windows 10... and IF NO, PROBABLY NO UPGRADES TO MAKE COMPATIBLE.... JUST OUT- OF-LUCK...

Before installation, I took an online typing test.It was an abysmal 30 WPM, with four mistakes hitting the wrong keys! After installing, I voice-typed 302 words in five minutes. The results were 75 WPM, perfectly spelled and one grammatical error.
