How is the Speech Recognition Software? How does it compare to a full version of Dragon Naturally Speaking?

The Acer Aspire R7 comes with Dragon Assistant which I have used on other computers and it is fairly accurate and makes things a lot easier. You can learn more about it here: http://www.nuance.com/dragon/dragon-assistant/index.htm

Dragon Assistant is more accurate and fun than than the native Win 8.1 speech recognition software but the version I was using when I uninstalled it would only take about one sentence at a time and had to be restarted after every sentence so it was only usable for texting. The native Win 8.1 Speech recognition software is in my opinion still a bare bones Beta product, so I will be purchasing Dragon 12.5. I hope Nuance finally delivers on the promise, this'll be the third or fourth purchase of a dragon product. Anybody want a free copy of Dragon 10 that was never satisfactory?

I have no experience with Dragon or voice recognition software, sorry I can't help you there. I'll try testing it though.

I just found your post while asking this same question. I've also found an answer. There's a computer program called Dragon Naturally Speaking that will do this. The basic software, Dragon 9 or 10, is about $60 on Amazon.com. B. Lueders

Don't know. Works well on phone but have been unable to get it to work with Dragon Naturally speaking.

$49.99 is the Home version and doesn't provide some features compared to the Premium: 1.Application Support:Spreadsheets 2. Application Support:Presentations 3. Advanced Correction/Editing : Ability to playback your speech in documents 4. Ability to create multiple audio sources (more than one type of audio input device) sharing a vocabulary within the same profile 5. Ability to import/export custom word lists and user profiles 6. Easily create commands to insert frequently used text and/or graphics by voice You may look up the difference at the url: http://www.nuance.com/ucmprod/groups/dragon/@web-enus/documents/collateral/nc_025214.pdf Hope this is helpful.

Hello Carlos, This program is used by my wife for her interpretation business, so I do not use it personally. I can tell you that you can set up two profiles within it, one Spanish and one English, and use the program either way. Once you have trained the program to your voice and way of speaking, it is very accurate. About the only thing that will make the program lose accuracy is when there are other noises in the room. If you have a good microphone and a quiet environment, the program is almost perfect, and making corrections is easy too. Be sure that you have enough memory in RAM, and that you have enough hard disc space available too. These files can get pretty big, and if you are running low on either memory, the program will begin to do strange things. I upgraded my wife's computer so that she wouldn't have to worry about this for a while, and she hasn't had any issues with the program. I highly recommend it!

I have recently purchased Dragon Naturally Speaking Premium 12, latest version. I am testing it at this time, so cannot give you a yes or no. It might depend on your version of Dragon and if for a Mac or PC. Mine is for PC. If you search Google for Dragon and what recorders are compatible you will find a list. I believe this recorder was on the list. I will post again soon once I test it further.

It won't Don, the Mac versions "Dragon Dictate" & "MacSpeech" are what you would need and they cost considerably more than the PC Dragon Home. $150.00 to $200.00 new. Maybe you may find a deal on a used version for Mac at Amazon. I bought mine used for about half the price of the new software simply because the box seal was broken. I sure am happy with my Dragon though. Once you get used to it you sure save a lot of time.

I can only say that it works well with the DRAGON Naturally Speaking (11.5) I use at home.

No, it does not. I'm not aware of any voice recorder that comes bundled with Dragon Naturally Speaking. Be aware that this is a standalone voice recorder, not something you add to a computer.

Its been a while since I purchased this great mic but I don't remember any additional software coming with the unit. I discovered that when I used this microphone I could make speech recognition software like 'Dragon Naturally Speaking' function as advertised. Previously I gave up trying to use the app because it just didn't function properly and was very frustrating. I use 'Gold Wave' for all my sound editing work; I'm pretty sure there's a freeware version, stripped own of course, but I paid the $50 for the license to use the 'full boat' version. Its extremely versatile and doesn't really have much of a learning curve for its basic functions.

I can't answer this one because a message showed up saying "Processor speed is inadequate for the Dragon Naturally Speaking" when I tried to download the appropriate software.

You should, provided the connections are right. The microphone can be positioned directly in front of one's mouth, so clarity can be assured. Keep in mind that with almost any speech recognition system there will be a learning period both on your part and the machine's part. Since it works with my Dragon(r) speech-ware, it should work with Win 8 just fine.

I use it with the dragon dictation program. I listen to an audio recording through the headset and speak simultaneously. I believe that is similar to what you do with Rosetta Stone.

Yes. It is a great little recorder and very compatible with Dragon Naturally Speaking. I record meetings and then it translates to text.

My wife uses it to call me on Google talk so I'd say yes. Dragon is a Speech Recognition software. It does have 2 - 3.5 mm jacks, one for the mic, one for the headset. Hope this helps.

Yes. I just bought it for exactly that purpose because Nuance's website has this rated as one of their best performing digital recorders with Dragon Naturally Speaking. Google "Nuance hardware compatibility list" and you can read their recommendations. I tested the DVT1000 last night with Dragon Naturally Speaking Premium 12 (Academic Version) and after doing the required setup, I was amazed at how well it performed. Super accurate. I recommend it.

I can't answer because I have no clue. My sister gave me Dragon Naturally Speaking for Christmas several years ago, but it won't install. A notice saying "Processor speed is inadequate for Dragon Naturally Speaking 10.1" so I returned it to her.
