I purchased this product to help me write letters on the computer. My right arm and hand have become severely disabled due to breast cancer, lymphedema, neuropathy and "drop wrist." I have a ministry to write to inmates, but because it was getting to be too difficult, I had to cut back. Anyway, I discovered this product and decided to give it a try. It does work! BUT, you have to give yourself enough time to become familiar with all the Commands to make it work seamlessly. I hope to become more proficient with time. Yes, I would recommend Dragon to anyone who is having trouble manually using the computer.

I bought this 'updated' version thinking it would be an improvement over vs.11.5. Boy, was I wrong! First, it was d*mn near impossible to install; I had to work with Nuance's infamous tech [non]support multiple times without success. They finally had to issue me a whole new copy (via download) before I could 'use' it. Using it was a nightmare. Want to dictate 'out of the box' as Dragon advertises? Forget it. Ain't happening. You still have to go through interminable reading despite the fact your voice files from previous versions are there for it to use. Want to dictate emails or surf the Net? You first have to go to Google Play & download the web app. Think you'll be able to dictate directly into Gmail or other email provider? Nope. You have to first dictate into the 'Dragon Pad' then transfer your words to your draft. Here's where it gets REALLY frustrating: if you want to change something - anything - from punctuation to a misspelled word, you have to go back to the DragonPad, make your correction or change, then paste it into your draft. I can type manually over 3x faster without vs.13 than with it! Easy to use? No way, Jose. Their cheat sheet for 'quick' reference is 12 pages long! Keep in mind I've been using various versions of Dragon since they first came out & some versions have worked better than others. I finally uninstalled it & went back to 11.5. At least I could dictate sans the Dragon Pad Dragon Naturally Speak is quite possibly their WORST version to date. If you're smart, you'll put your money to better use.Read full review

I work daily on the computer and the software allows to dictate freely. I would not recommend the software to someone who isn't advanced with the use of a computer, because it take a little bit practice to use it correctly. For professional use the software is great and the price is excellent. I have used other programs and softwares, but the outcome with the nuance software is definitely much greater. I wish it would be multilingual usable, since I am writing in German, English, French, Spanish, Turkish and Gaelic. That would be more than perfect, if they can develop a software for that kind of use. I recommend the product for professional use, not necessarily for private use. You basically have to make the program learn your accent and your way of speech to work correctly with minimal mistakes. Read full review

After 1 month of use I recommend the product. Tip: Reinforce the headset around the narrow sections where it is adjustable. Mine broke simply removing them from my head! Once adjusted to fit your head, even a couple tight wraps of duct tape will help (use black to be fashionable :)) Otherwise everything works.

Too bad the support staff were necessary in the beginning, and my issue wasn't resolved. Dragon, unlike some cellphone apps like Google and SMS texting voice recognition, is like a baby and needs to be treated like one. It takes a very long time to train, and tame, this dragon. All in all, though, a good product and idea if you're willing to invest a lot of time into training and using her.
