Fantastic value package deal
I can only comment on the Berlitz language title so far, but it appears to be the full package and is probably the best I've tried to date. That was the program I really wanted and to get so many other free programs with it really sweetened the deal. It utilises flash cards and then reinforces your memory of the scenario or word.
Since the program is in multiple common languages with English as the base, it can save the user quite a lot of money by having so much incorporated all in the one bundle.

Dragon software is so convenient and I would highly recommend it
1 of 1 found this helpful This is a wonderful product. I'm not a touch typist and get some soreness in finger joints so it is especially good for me.
My enunciation is only average yet Dragon 12 still picks up what is said 95% of the time and I haven't finished training it yet. It takes effort but is worthwhile.
Something that should be noted however:
Dragon asked if I would like it to review all my emails and documents so it could better learn how I communicate and had an attached "privacy policy". I tried clicking on both the international and American policy link and neither worked. This is obviously just a bug but for something so important you would think they would ensure that it is functional.
To the question whether I wanted to have emails and documents scanned I selected "no" ......
That being said, Dragon seems to be learning my speech very quickly and is becoming more accurate with each session.
Something else I should highlight; I purchased the "Andrea NC181VM USB" headset from elsewhere as an extra simply because it is far more accurate than the standard headset supplied. It is definitely worth the extra cost. This is a single ear headpiece and I think much better than the Andrea twin headset version (NC185) because you can hear what you say more clearly.
I have no experience with Logitec headsets and Dragon combination, however the general consensus seems to be they are not very well suited. Get the Andrea headset, it will save you a great deal of frustration.
This purchase was for installation on only one computer however there are twin or five user versions available.
If you're in the medical or legal field there are also specific versions for that. They cost more of course but I would certainly recommend you obtain the right Dragon for your needs otherwise you will spend an inordinate amount of time training it up on many particular words relevant to your profession.
Many people would prefer to use a wireless headset and I can understand why, however keep in mind that they will not be as accurate as the Andrea NC181 USB headset and will require you to train your Dragon for longer. If you do decide that wireless is either more convenient or imperative to your needs then I recommend you purchase a quality headset. A very basic Bluetooth headset will most certainly be more frustrating than it is worth.
Something obvious but essential to remember is turn your microphone on before you start any session. Saying "Mic off" does work but "Mic on" does not work when the microphone is turned off (either via software or physical disconnection). It would be horrible to chatter on for a ½ hour, especially when you are inspired, only to find nothing was recorded :(
Sounds silly right, but I bet that has happened to thousands of Dragon users worldwide.
I see Dragon 13 will be available soon and all it costs is $99US to upgrade (price is only that low via pre-order), but it's currently a month or two away. It's supposedly 15% more accurate off the bat than version 12 / 12.5 but by then my software should be fully trained up, so it would want to be pretty damn good and have a lot more features to warrant the extra expense.
Using a mobile voice recorder seems like a great idea, however there are associated problems. It seems the "professional version Dragon" is better suited to transcribing from recorder. It can be achieved with "premium Dragon" however you may experience difficulty.

Car Fridge
It's lightweight, efficient and all fridge, which is what I particularly wanted.
