Dragon Speech Recognition Software Reviews & Product Details

It helps with making notes more complete and improves efficiency. Without Dragon I would be typing up notes way longer and probably get a work-hour violation without it. It is truly a game-changer. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

I don't like that it doesn't recognize certain words and doesn't you to spell out names or words when it is unable to recognize the word. I also wish we were given the handheld dragon speakers for home too. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

Easy to use, Dictation to typing is very good Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

It is too expensive. There is little or no support. Dragon 13, did not work and I could not get any support Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

I have been using Dragon for the past two years. It has helped me to become more productive at work. With the Dragon software, I transcribe more audio hours per week compared to typing on a qwerty keyboard. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

As someone with a Caribbean accent, I had to train the Dragon software to recognise my pronunciation of many words. Training the software took a little time; however, it was worth it. Dragon now recognises my pronunciation perfectly, and this has resulted in greater accuracy. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

I am a slow typist, and this software is really fast. I can dictate into emails, I am dictating into this program right now, I do all my letters (and I do a lot of them) and it saves me time and money. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

Not much. It sometimes makes mistakes, and there are some mistakes that it repeats, and I find this annoying. Thankfully they are not common. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

The simplicity and intuitive aspect of Dragon Speech Recognition Software. It is very easy to learn. For a period of time, I didn't need to use the software and when I started using it again, it was like "riding a bike" i.e., you don't forget! Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

Not really a "dislike" but rather, Google now offers "Google Voice" which essentially does what Dragon Speech Recognition Software does. However, I've found that Google Voice does not have as many voice commands as Dragon and it is less reliable than Dragon. So I would say - given Google Voice is free - the downside of Dragon is that you have to pay for it. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

I could not live my professional life without Dragon Dictate. I use it every day. In every way. The fact that I've used every version since about version 3.0 tells you something. I love how I can be creative, and correct things with my voice only. When I first started I used to make an outline of a notepad and then dictate to it. Now I often use the DragonPad for the First Draft then I transpose it into the app or software that I'm using. That way I get to review what I write, and make sense.

There are only two things that I don't like about Dragon:

1. I annoy people when I talk to myself in an open plan office.

2. It does not read my mind. Imagine if I didn't have to speak and it typed! Amazing. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

You can't use it on macs so although it's ok it's not something I'll continue with Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

Not Mac friendly. The dragon anywhere for phones is ok but not practical Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

Ability to edit text and have basic interaction with elements on the screen Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

Dragon has not been updated for modern applications. It does not work smoothly or navigate well. That being said, I have yet to find something better. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

the accuracy keeps getting better with each version Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

I find that it's hard to do formatting with the commands, which I forget all the time Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

Nothing it just crashes and never works. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

This software has never worked right from day one. You can’t update it or figure out a reasonable fix. Also their support is horrible you go to their website and they are hiding a good way to call them. There ticketing system is a joke and it’s almost like once you purchase the software they don’t even care. This software has never worked right from day one.
