Description
Dragon Naturally Speaking 10 Preferred gives small business and advanced PC users the power to create documents, reports, and emails, three times faster than most people type, and with up to 99% accuracy. Surf the Web by voice, or dictate and edit in Microsoft Word and Excel, Corel WordPerfect, and most other Windows-based applications. New Dragon Voice Shortcuts collapse common tasks into simple voice commands. Create custom commands to insert blocks of texts or images such as your name, title, and signature with a single voice command. Format and delete text faster than ever with Quick Voice Formatting. You can even dictate into a handheld device when you're away from your PC, or use a Bluetooth microphone. Most people speak over 120 words per minute, but type less than 40 words a minute. That means you can create documents and emails about three times faster with Dragon Naturally Speaking. Dragon Naturally Speaking never makes a spelling mistake, and it actually gets smarter the more you use it. Dragon Naturally Speaking installs quickly and requires no special script reading to train the system. On-screen help and tutorials will make you an expert user in no time. Use your voice to dictate, edit and control applications like Microsoft Word, Microsoft Outlook Express, Internet Explorer, Mozilla Firefox and AOL. Quickly search for information on the Web or on your own computer. Just say "Search the Web for global warming articles," "Search Wikipedia for George Washington Carver," or "Search eBay for Batman comic books." Searching the Web or your computer has never been faster - or easier. Dictate into any Nuance-certified handheld device for automatic transcription when you synch with your PC.
Customer reviews for 'Dragon NaturallySpeaking 10 Preferred'
«Dragon Naturally Speaking 10»
I was excited to recieve the product however, even though it stated that it works with Windows Vista it does not if your computer is a 64 bit computer. If the program works it works very well but you may sometimes have to reset the speaking mode. It is though a program worth having once you work out all the bugs.

«Do not buy this!!!! It will not install on Vista and you must pay for technical support.»
I had used Dragon 6.0 and liked it. My computer died and I had to get a new one. Unfortunatly, they only come with Microsoft Vista now. So I had to buy a new version of Dragon for my new computer. I could not install it because if gave me Error 1330. I looked up the solution to error 1330, which is Tech Note 6042 and followed both solutions, but they did not work. It seemed to work until I tried to use the program and it had me install a vocabulary file when I created a user profile, but the vocabulary file never installed and again I got error 1330. I tried to contact technical support, but I would have to pay $20 per incident. They do give you one free technical support call, but I didn't feel like using that up just to install the program. I looked at many technical support discussion websites about error 1330 and there are lots of angry people out there who have gotten this very same error and have Vista. It seems like Nuance, the makers of Dragon, do not stand behind their product and have made one heck of a lemon with version 10. I recommend looking else where for voice to text program, unless you still have Windows XP or lower. I tried out the speach recognition program that comes with Microsoft Vista and it works fine, I am sticking with that, it is already installed and its free. Just go to "start" "settings" "control panel" "speech recognition" open it, take the tutorial and train it once or twice and your off. Don't bother with Dragon NS.

«Thanks for the Warnings»
Thanks to everyone here who has given us feedback about Nuance and its products. I was very interested in buying the program but after hearing the horror-stories, I'll be avoiding it.
It seems like the company has a death-wish by releasing a crippled application, not providing adequate on-line support and making themselves nearly untouchable by the customer. I, for one, will never pay for tech support again from ANY company. That's a shame because it gives the impression (at least to me) that they do not value the customer OR the product they are trying to sell. It's not just bad customer service, it's bad business and they will fail eventually. I'd rather not be a part of that dysfunction. Again, thanks for the reviews.
