Turn Talk Into Text



Accurate Speech Recognition for PC Applications
Dragon NaturallySpeaking 10 Standard offers unprecedented speech recognition with unrivaled accuracy levels: it's up to 20% more accurate than Version 9, with up to 50% more accurate results than the product delivered just five years ago. Users gain the added benefit of avoiding spelling errors and typing mistakes. In fact, the product actually learns from corrections over time.

Works With the Applications Users Already Have
Dictate directly into Microsoft Word and most other Microsoft Office applications running on Microsoft Windows XP, Windows 2000, and Windows Vista. Dragon also supports popular programs such as Corel WordPerfect, Microsoft Internet Explorer, Mozilla Firefox, and AOL. Navigate the desktop by voice: launch or switch applications, save or print documents, and more--even control menus and dialog boxes.

Create and Edit Documents and Messages
Dragon NaturallySpeaking 10 introduces new graphical icons to enhance the DragonBar user interface, making the product even easier to use.

Users can quickly add custom words, such as proper names, to the system's vocabulary.

Quick Voice Formatting commands allow users to issue a single voice command, such as "Bold Quick Voice Formatting" to make deleting and formatting text faster than ever. In addition, unique Natural Language Commands mean users don't have to memorize complex instructions. In Word, for example, a user can say, "make that bigger," and the font size increases instantly.

With the automatic punctuation option, users can omit spoken periods and commas during dictation--Dragon NaturallySpeaking enters them automatically.

Send Email, Instant Messages and Surf the Web--All by Voice
Users can browse the Internet with ease: search the Web, access information and navigate Web pages, simply by speaking URLs and links.

User Benefits



Faster than Typing
Most people speak more than 120 per minute but type less than 40 words a minute. That means users can create documents and email messages more than three times faster using Dragon NaturallySpeaking 10 Standard. The software never makes a spelling mistake, and it actually gets smarter the more it's used.

Fun and Easy to Use--Get Started Right Away
Dragon NaturallySpeaking installs quickly and requires no special script reading. New on-screen help and tutorials help users become experts in no time. Users can dictate letters and emails instantly! A comfortable, high-quality headset is included.

Avoid Repetitive Strain Injuries
By using voice to control the PC and create documents, users reduce their risk of developing repetitive strain injuries, such as carpal tunnel syndrome.

Customer Reviews
Average Rating:  out of 5 stars

Rating: 4 out of 5 stars - It works
I have mixed feelings on any voice recognition software. If I knew how to type properly instead of the hunt and peck method I use I wouldn't have any need for this product. I don't use it all that often but when I do it comes in incredibly handy. For example I am using this now to dictate this review. I've had to stop twice now to correct a mistake. Some of that could be caused by the fact I have the Moody blues running in the background on my stereo.

Rating: 3 out of 5 stars - Will not run on Vista 64 bit
I am sure it is a great product as it has been around for years. But it will not run on Vista 64 bit at all. It won't even install. The voice recognition in Vista is free and much better than it used to be. Give it a try.



Rating: 1 out of 5 stars - wont work on a 64bit PC!
Make sure you know if your computer is 64bit because this will not work on it if so. i wasted $70 on this and it is useless until the company decides to fix this. from the message boards i've found it doesn't look like they will soon.
:(



Rating: 1 out of 5 stars - Dragon Naturally speaking 10 standard
This purchase was a disappointment!!!!!
I purchase it for My Student Grandson and He was unable to use it on His new Dell Laptop . Because this product only operate on a 32 bit processor and My Grandson new Laptop operate on 64 bit processor. Why would a product be on the market without a patch/update to be used on computers of the present generation?My Grandson contacted the manufacture (Dragon) and they were unable to help Him at this time.what a big DISAPPOINTMENT.

Rating: 1 out of 5 stars - Can't Use It
This is not for the product, which I can't install, but for the lousy support--I'll never by another nuance/scansoft product again! I can't install the program because I want to put it on a computer that does not have an internet hook up. Hey, you guys at Nuance/Scansoft, Not Every Computer Has an Internet Hook-up! Once you own the product and go to the support site to activate it (on a different computer), THEN you see that you need the hook-up, but the product does not mention this little fact anywhere ...
