A C/NET Editor's Choice for February 2006, and a PC World 100 best products of 2006, Dragon NaturallySpeaking 9 is up to 99 percent accurate, and often more accurate than typing. Dragon NaturallySpeaking never makes a spelling mistake, and it's actually programmed to get "smarter" the more your use it. And because most people speak over 120 words per minute, but type less than 40 words a minute, NaturallySpeaking lets you create letters and e-mails about three times faster than typing by hand.
Dragon NaturallySpeaking 9 is extremely easy to use and require no training. A full set of new on-screen tutorials simplify the training process, so you can be an expert Dragon NaturallySpeaking user right away. An included approved free noise-canceling microphone helps you get started immediately. And you can use your voice to dictate, edit and control just about any Windows-based application, which gives you unprecedented flexibility as you work. It even supports Mozilla Firefox and Thunderbird. Just talk, and you can surf the web, open and close applications, even control your mouse and the entire desktop. You can also dictate, edit, and navigate more easily in Microsoft Word, Outlook Express, and Corel WordPerfect than in previous versions. For Web browsing, Dragon NaturallySpeaking 9 lets you search the Web, access information, and navigate web pages by speaking URLs and links.
 The DragonBar includes a "Select and Say" indicator that turns green when you are in an application or window where all of NaturallySpeaking's functionality is supported. |
We all add unnecessary "ums" and "ahs" when we speak, and the last thing you want is to spend your time editing all those extraneous insertions from your documents. Thanks to its built-in Nothing But Speech (NBS) technology, Dragon NaturallySpeaking 9 filters out inadvertent fillers and sounds between words, keeping your document clean. The program's "natural punctuation" feature means that when you dictate casual writing styles, you no longer have to say "period" and "comma."
So why type your emails, or fiddle with your mouse to surf the Web when you can more easily and quickly use your voice?

- Addition Improved
- This is an improvement over the previous edition. Its speech recognition is much improved.
However I did use it to type this opinion and it first typed addition rather than edition. But maybe I just need another cup of morning coffee.… More reviews
- What a great product
- I am so impressed with the dragon software. Right out of the box, after a short time of going thru some examples I was able to use your product.

- NaturallySpeaking does more than expected
- Alison, my wife, purchased this product for me from Amazon. Since I'm the person using it she asked me to write the review. She purchased the standard edition version 9.5 because we were not sure how well it would work. We were simply looking for something that would do voice to print, while my hands were recovering from injury. After the… More reviews
