Extremely disappointed when I opened the package and found out it was not only bet all up but the CD was all marked up. I am a full time college student and was hoping this would help with my studies, then not only that. I’m now out 300$+ for something I can’t use. Very disappointed

I bought this product for my wife and based on other reviews I went ahead and purchased it.
All I can say is that my wife is very happy with the product and has met all her expectations so far.
One thing to note is that the program is only available as a download. The seller contacted me to inform me of that and ask me if that was fine.
Afterward, I received the link and code key via email.

Excellent product that just improves as it gets to know your speech idiosyncrasies and you become comfortable with the shortcuts. Also, as I attempted to put the program on a second computer I had hardware issues. Not Nuances fault nor their job to fix, but the tech support team did a fantastic job of identifying my problem and helping me to resolve the issue.

This is the 3rd version of Dragon NaturallySpeaking that I have used in the last 6 years or so, and I have to say that it works very well, which actually surprises me. The only reason I bought the program is that there are no real competitors. The so-called dictation options in Windows and Google were a joke when I last tried each of them about 8 or 9 months ago.
I find this version of Dragon Naturally Speaking makes fewer mistakes than the other versions I had, and is significantly better in that it does not interpret my breathing into the microphone as words of some sort.
Having said the above, I still think that the software is overpriced. I am glad, though, that I bought this from Amazon, because my 2 previous experiences of dealing with Nuance, the makers of Dragon Naturally Speaking, were annoying, as has been the case for many people other than myself.
A couple of things to watch out for:
1. I ordered the CD version of Dragon Naturally Speaking version 15, and – because my system went down at one point (nothing to do with Dragon) – I ended up installing it twice over the course of a month or so. The installation went fine, but at one point (both times that I installed it) the installation looked like it had stopped or stalled.
This was not the case, but the absence of a status bar of any sort, made me press cancel at one point, and I then got a message to the effect that the installation was still taking place. It probably took about 10 minutes or more on my 2.6GHz i5 Acer laptop (it is not supposed to work on Acers, I think, so this would have been an expensive experiment if it had failed to install or if it had not worked properly).
2. There is a point during the install process at which Dragon asks you whether the program can analyse documents in order to make it work better for you, and in order to do that, it will communicate the content of those documents to Nuance. I always click ‘No’ to this, but in The 2 previous versions of Dragon that I used, there was an automated reporting of data to Nuance within the program, and I had to go in and turn that function off once the programme had installed.
3. A great resource for troubleshooting, having your questions about Dragon answered, is the Dragon forum at Knowbrainer dot com ( I think if I write the full web address here using the ‘at’ sign, this review will be rejected, so just substitute an ‘at’ sign for the word ‘dot’ , above).

Because I am disabled I have only use of my right hand when I type I type very slowly and it is fatiguing Dragon Naturally Speaking has increased the speed by a lot it is not as accurate due to my slurred speech but I think over time it will get better so far it is amazing

Due to an accident which resulted in the inability to use my dominant hand, I needed to figure out a way to continue working as much of my work is completed on a computer. We found this software and it works exactly as described. I had it loaded and was using the product within 10 minutes. This has been a lifesaver as I’ve been able to continue working while I recuperate. I will also continue using this after my arm is better as it is a very efficient way to work on a computer and complete documents. As a side note, I have completed this feedback using Dragon.
