I loved the Home Edition and am now experimenting with the Premium edition which is supposed to work with a digital voice recorder. It types as you talk into a headset with a microphone. It works 3x as fast as regular typing. I love it.
There is a “learning curve”. You must say “period” for it to type a period, etc. The software also trains itself to your voice, so, at first, you must make corrections to what it types. The more you stick with it, the less mistakes it makes. It made me laugh when I first saw it type while I talked. I wanted to show everyone in the house!
Some people don’t want to stick through this learning process, and it bothers them. Me, I think it’s wonderful and worth it--even when I make some corrections. I am glad to have Dragon Natrually Speaking 11- Premium Edition. I’m excited to see how it works with a digital voice recorder.
