I'm a disabled Vet & my sister is a Quad, BOTH of us have trouble keying a PC. This approach, which was invented by Dr. Kurzwell & refined by Nuance, is very, very servicible & should help the so-called able-bodied & we Disabled speed up asks.

I ignored the reviews, figuring it would work fine for me. Big mistake! It takes a lot longer to write correctly using this thing than to type by hand, because it makes mistakes with almost every word you say. Now it doesn't work at all anymore. I only used it successfully a few times, and both times I gave up after a couple hours because it took so long and was so bad at recognizing the things I was saying s l o w l y. It is a waste of your money. Don't buy this!!!!!!!!!!
Good Product, Bad Customer Relations November 6, 2006

I really enjoy using Dragon NaturallySpeaking and it is a big help in my work. I just sit back and talk about my topic and the software converts it to text. I have very little trouble dictatng Word documents, but some e-mail programs are sensitive to corrections, occasionally introducing new errors.
I brought the product with a $[...] mail-in rebate in August. The company's rebate processor is denying the rebate. I will now try to get satisfaction direct from Nuance (November), but I'm feeling disappointed.
 Poor Customer Service November 6, 2006

Nuance has the worst customer service in the industry. Even before purchasing one of their products and their advertising customer support, they simply don't reply to any e-mail inquiries.
 Works great and saves a bunch of time. Well worth the purchase price! November 6, 2006

I rarely write these reviews but since I was very impressed I thought I'd share my thoughts on this Standard edition of Naturally Speaking Version 9
The product does what it says and is generally pretty accurate. I took the time to do the exercises so the system would improve its recognition of my speaking and writing patterns. I'd certainly recommend you do this.
I'm writing a book, so I know the program will be a big time saver. I knocked out 4 pages in the time it would have taken me to manually write one page in the past.
One challenge with talking out text rather than typing is that it needs heavier editing (we all tend to go off on tangents when speaking, which needs to be cleaned up for easier reading). The voice recognition system is pretty accurate. I wouldn't say it's 99% but perhaps 90%+ for general speaking (I talk fast). 95% plus if I'm going at a slower pace.
One thing I do note, is that having read other reviews, you need to have a relatively fast computer for using the program. I just bought a new Compaq with the Intel Pentium D two core processor (2.80 gHz, 960 MB Ram). I doubt this program would have worked on my year-old lap-top which is significantly slower. So, if you have an old or slow computer, you should consider upgrading b/4 this program based on other reviews i've seen in the past.
Anyway, that's my two cents. Again, the program works very well. I'm impressed.
