The new Dragon NaturallySpeaking 9 speech engine is up to 20% more accurate than version 8
Dragon NaturallySpeaking 9 is up to 99% accurate, and often more accurate than typing. Dragon NaturallySpeaking never makes a spelling mistake, and it actually gets smarter the more you use it
Most people speak over 120 words per minute, but type less than 40 words a minute. Dragon NaturallySpeaking lets you create letters and e-mails about three times faster than typing by hand.
You'll be dictating letters, e-mails and surfing the web by voice right away! No script reading required to get started. Includes a full set of on-screen tutorials, and a Nuance approved free noise-canceling microphone.
Use your voice to dictate, edit and control applications like Microsoft Word, Microsoft Excel, Microsoft Internet Explorer, and Corel WordPerfect. Mac users take note: Dragon Naturally Speaking is now fully compatible with VMware Fusion.

Summary: POOR support
Comment: The product has some glitches and is difficult to get up and running. Support is all but nonexistant even if you are willing to pay them what is demanded to correct problem in their software. I have however nothing but praise for the support I recieved from Amazon with my issues.

Summary: Doesn't work on 64 bit system
Comment: I bought DNS Preferred 9. Got it, found out my computer memory was a little tight to use it, so I put it aside and figured at least it wasn't wasted money, since I would be getting a new computer in a few months and would use it then. Well, got my new computer yesterday, and went to install DNS. Right away I got an error message saying it could not be installed because it was not supported on a 64 bit system. What a waste of a lot of money!

Summary: No Dragon Fan!
Comment: I REALLY tried to make this program work because I type lengthy narrative documents. Just couldn't, no matter what I did I continued to have multiple multiple errors. Quicker to type than use the program. Received NO support from Nuance and to make matters worse, returned the program for a refund in August 08 but am still WAITING for my refund. Their website was down when I received an email instructing me to go to the site for address etc so I called customer support. The address I was given was wrong. Thank goodness I shipped it back via UPS BUT even though I have a date/time and the name of the person that signed for the product, and a written email from October that a check is being issued, my refund check still has not shown up. Would never make another purchase from that company nor would I ever recommend them to anyone I know!!!

Summary: Dragon NaturallySpeaking 9 preferred
Comment: Product shipped quickly to the UK, but Microidea hadn't made any arrangements for paying VAT, so I was hit with a bill for £25 covering VAT and a special courier charge as well. To their credit, though, when I wrote to complain, they refunded me the £25.
Then, when I tried to install the product, one of the files was corrupted, although that was (presumably) the fault of Dragon, not Microidea, and Dragon sorted it out quickly enough.

I CALLED nuance just to ask about their tech support options and was appalled at the lack of human contact! I write this after having purchased returned version 10, and thinking that possibly version #9 would work! Thank God I took the time to see what I would be getting into!
AS WAS SAID BY DEAN ESTUS OF GEORGE MICHAEL FAME: OH WHAT A WASTE OF TIME, WHAT A WASTE, HEAVEN HELP ME!!!
