I honestly cant say, the packaging said it was compatible with MAC, however it is not......

Extremely well. I tape committee meetings and it is surprising how well it captures most of the conversations.

Dragon works well in Windows but is not compatible with Mac. I'm not sure if the version has been updated since I purchased it. The latest version is much better at distinguishing regional dialects / accents.

Other than some initial installation issues, I have had no problems. I have written several papers for school using Dragon with no problem.

I have the Daagon Touch. If that is the one you mean. And yes it says it will. Haven't tried. I do not recommend the Dragon Touch at all. I had problems from before I had it a month. The place it comes from is hard to reach. My play store with everything else quit working. They said they would replace it because the tablet has that problem. But I was unable to send mine to them because I couldn't send it like they wanted. I factory set it several times and downloaded what I think it came with. Camera wont work, battery dead in 45 minutes tops. Just some of the problems. Sorry

A plug, stylus and cradle I believe. Had mine for 2 yrs and use it for a laptop and tablet. Dragon naturally speaking and a good headset are a nice plus. Cloud storage that you can selectively sync with the tablet is a good idea, I prefer Dropbox.

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.

This works with Dragon Naturally Speaking PREMIUM. That's why I bought the PREMIUM. You can record on this and then feed it to Dragon. But in addtion, this recorder has proved to be invaluable in taping conference call meetings. I bought a mic for it that you put in your ear (and plug into the recorder) and then put your headset over it. It works beautifully if you get the phone call mic (about $16). It has helped so much in preparing minutes after an hour call with 16 different people giving information on numerous topics. I love this recorder. It can't understand the voice of others, so I just use it for phone calls to listen back myself. But for Dragon Premium it works great in picking up your voice. So you can record things on the go, and plug into your computer later.

No problem. The device works very well, actually. My wife uses it a lot more than me. But, I bought it for her after all.

Yes it works great. Only problem I have is no speech on characters but everything else seems to work fine.

The best microphone I've used with Dragon is the Sennheiser ME3 (or ME-3). This headset has amazing noise cancellation capabilities, and is fairly comfortable when worn for a long time (you really need good noise cancellation to avoid confusing Dragon). The only issue is that the ME-3 is rather pricey -- about $135 on Amazon. A good alternative to the ME-3 is the Radio Shack 33-3012 "Headset Microphone with Gooseneck Boom", which is less than $25 but performs nearly as well as the Sennheiser (this microphone is a virtual clone of the Sennheiser). In fact, I routinely use my Radio Shack and leave my expensive Sennheiser in the box the 33-3012 came in! The Radio Shack microphone includes a long cord extension with an on/off switch, something that is missing from the Sennheiser. Any microphone is going to work best with a "USB sound pod" device. A sound pod is an "active" device that accepts the 1/8" male plug on most headset style microphones and plugs into any USB port on your computer. It works as an amplifier (I guess) and provides a much, much better signal than any consumer-quality microphone. I use a VXI "Translator" pod I got from emicrophones.com, but the Andrea units are also reputed to be good. Plan to spend about $40 to $60 for a pod, but it makes a world of difference in the quality of Dragon Naturally Speaking dictation. (Without a pod, you're relying on your computer's sound card to provide amplification. Generally speaking, sound cards in most desktops and laptops are very poor at handling microphone input, and are much better at playing music and game sounds.) BTW: Microphone positioning is everything when it comes to speech recognition. The mouthpiece must be moved away from your mouth -- I position it about 2 to 3 inches to the right of my mouth to avoid breath sounds and noises that confuse Dragon.

The bluetooth connection from Plantronics to my laptop is flawless. It works as expected most all the time. I find that if I have to move around or the bluetooth is rubbing on my face (if not shaven recently) it can jumble a few words. The most important thing to do is train Dragon with the bluetooth and not just a headset...hope that helps.

It works very well as a headset. As for dragon naturally speaking v10, its not the greatest with win 7. Best of luck.

I've never used Dragon, but the sound quality is excellent. The headphones are absurdly uncomfortable though.

I've never used Dragon, so I really can't say. I looked through the manual, but nothing is mentioned on that subject. You can check their website at www.philips.com/welcome.

Very nice device, I use it for dictation with Dragon Naturally Speaking, USP connector.

My experience dictates : ) success when using Plantronics DSP-V3. I have used two others with varying success however it may also depend on your voice, diction, inflection, accent, and training the program to understand YOU. Quite honestly I find the Apple voice recognition software included with Mountain Lion and I presume Mavericks to work equally as well as Dragon Dictate. Apple provides far superior customer service. Dragon virtually none! Save a couple hundred bucks with less frustration.

I have used it quite successfully with Dragon Naturally Speaking Preferred 12.5. I broke mine and bought the next step up, the WH100B, as the replacement; it did not work with the same Dragon product. Nuance has a chart ranking the units that work work with Dragon Naturally Speaking 12 on their web site. I would recommend checking it before purchasing anything.I hope this help you out. Have a nice day.
