Manufacturer's Description
Millions of users turn to Dragon each day to make PC interaction easier, faster and more fun. Users can dictate and edit in virtually any Windows application, including Microsoft Word, Microsoft Outlook Express, Internet Explorer, Mozilla Firefox and AOL. This revolutionary and easy to use product gives users everything they need to get started, including a high-quality headset.

Most accurate version EVER: Dragon NaturallySpeaking 10 is up to 15% more accurate than the previous version and delivers accuracy rates of up to 99 % right out of the box. Every time an individual uses Dragon and corrects their recognition errors, the software updates their user profile to enable better recognition accuracy over time.

Works With the Applications Users Already Have. Users can dictate directly into most Microsoft Windows XP, Windows 2000, and Windows-Vista-based applications. Dragon supports popular programs such as Microsoft Word, Corel WordPerfect, Microsoft Internet Explorer, Mozilla Firefox, Microsoft Outlook Express and AOL. Users can even control menus and dialog boxes in these applications. Navigate the desktop by voice: launch or switch applications, save or print documents, and more - all by voice.

NEW User Interface. Dragon 10 introduces new graphical icons to enhance the DragonBar user interface, making the product even easier to use.

Add Custom Words. Users can quickly add custom words, such as proper names, to the system's vocabulary.

NEW Quick Voice Formatting commands allow users to issue a single voice command, such as "Bold Quick Voice Formatting" to make editing and formatting text faster than ever. In addition, unique Natural Language Commands mean users don't have to memorize complex instructions. In Word, for example, a user can say, "make that bigger," and the font size increases instantly.

Punctuation. Users may select the "Nothing but Speech" natural punctuation feature so that punctuation is automatically entered into documents and messages.

Browse the Internet with Ease. Users can search the Web, access information and navigate Web pages, simply by speaking URLs and links.

Faster than Typing. Most people speak up to 160 words per minute but type less than 40 words a minute. That means users can create documents and email messages more than three times faster using Dragon NaturallySpeaking 10 Standard. The software never makes a spelling mistake, and it actually gets smarter the more it's used.

Fun and Easy to Use - Get Started Right Away. Dragon NaturallySpeaking installs quickly and requires no special script reading. New on-screen help and tutorials help users become experts in no time. Users can dictate letters and emails instantly! A comfortable, high-quality headset is included.

Avoid Repetitive Strain Injuries. By using voice to control the PC and create documents, users reduce their risk of developing repetitive strain injuries, such as carpal tunnel syndrome.

Customer Reviews

Very impressive product
I was a little sceptical about this product. I first tried speech recognition software about five years ago, it wasn't terribly impressed by the speed or accuracy of the particular product that I used.

However, I've been absolutely blown away by Dragon version 10. I installed the Standard version on my XP machine about one hour ago and, after running through some very simple training exercises, I have been able to dictate entire paragraphs of text with virtually no errors. In fact, I have just been able to dictate this entire review in significantly less time than it would have taken me to type it by hand (and I consider myself a reasonably proficient typist).

Overall, I am delighted with my purchase, and I wholeheartedly recommend Dragon version 10.

Very pleased, it even works within World of Warcraft
I bought this version in helping me with certain issues I have as regards typing and other things as I have disabilities which is the main reason for my purchase, in fact I am writing this review with this software. I also found to my surprise that I can use it while I am playing world of Warcraft as it started a game for me and I was able to use in game chat while playing the game. So in retrospect this version actually does more than what it's capable of &what it specifications says it can do.

So all in all this has been a very good purchase so much it has given me more freedom and flexibility than the previous version did. So even buying the standard version you get more than what you think in what it controls as far as applications, games etc. I don't think, you'll find better software out there that can do as much as this software for the price.

I received this software 12:00 today and as you can see how easily and quickly it is adapted to my voice.

I am amazed, it's absolutely brilliant!!
This product came through today, and here I am typing this review out with, I can't believe it I've suffered with dyslexia all my life and this feels like I have just been released into a whole new world, if like me you've always been afraid to type a review, then fear no more.

Get it, try it and don't worry about the bad reviews, you want be disappointed.
