Spotlight customer reviews: Customer Rating: Summary: they should pay me for training the product Comment: This product reminds me that purchase price is not always important. The time I spent on that product cost me 100 times the purchase price.... Customer Rating: Summary: Why a rate it a 3 Comment: While the product works sufficiently, the rebate is not applicable to this version. Very irritating to be told you bought a full product with an upgrade serial number. It does work fine with Vista and the box made no mention of being an older version. Who is at fault? I do not know. I do know I am out $50.00 Be prepared to have your rebate denied. Customer Rating: Summary: A headache Comment: I hate this product. I spend more time training the program than actually writing the documents. By the time I finish correcting all of the mistyped words, I have lost my motivation to write. I'm sorry, but I am much more productive when I am NOT using this software! Customer Rating: Summary: This thing is awesome! Comment: I have carpal tunnel syndrome in both of my wrists and I wouldn't be able to work if it weren't for this thing! The dragon is easy to train and learns quickly. I especially like that the dragon has the capability to read your sent e-mail to become familiar with names and phrases that you use often. I typed this review with the dragon. What do you think? Customer Rating: Summary: testing testing Comment: The review here reading of Dragon's NaturallySpeaking 9.01 is made using a product I am speaking using my normal voice after having adjusted the program and gone to the training and I'm simply going to post a review on Amazon knocks the correcting errors just so you can get an idea of what the program will do again I'm speaking at my normal speed here this program has received a lot of praise but to tell the truth I really don't think that it's ready for prime time as the saying goes if you are reasonably fast type SAE 80 to 90 words per minute you'll you're simply better off typing yourself and forgoing the use of this program I can only imagine that this program be useful for people who only type 10 to 20 words per minute or perhaps not at all out also like to say to this program has a lot of bugs related to its interface with Windows even if you have all the latest patches and updates so for example where interfacing with the Internet Explorer or Mozilla or even Microsoft office documents and there is always a some command or something us can go a little funny Wendy on dictating programs on they also say that you need of a great deal of computing power to operate this program and I would agree you have to have a lot of RAM and a very fast processor apparently because otherwise the thing will get held up and the results will be less than ideal I think you can tell by reading this is that there is a huge problem you actually have to go back through each paragraph and edit your errors the problem is that this can take them probably longer than simply just writing the paragraphs normally the product is certainly promising but as it stands I really don't see any cause for amazement More Reviews
