NaturallySpeaking 9 translates your voice dictations into Microsoft Word and Excel, Corel WordPerfect, and virtually all Windows-based applications. View larger. | Three Times Faster than Typing
A C/NET Editor's Choice for February 2006, and a PC World 100 best products of 2006, Dragon NaturallySpeaking 9 is up to 99 percent accurate, and often more accurate than typing. Dragon NaturallySpeaking never makes a spelling mistake, and it's actually programmed to get "smarter" the more your use it. And because most people speak over 120 words per minute, but type less than 40 words a minute, NaturallySpeaking lets you create letters and e-mails about three times faster than typing by hand. Dragon NaturallySpeaking 9 is extremely easy to use and require no training. A full set of new on-screen tutorials simplify the training process, so you can be an expert Dragon NaturallySpeaking user right away. An included approved free noise-canceling microphone helps you get started immediately. And you can use your voice to dictate, edit and control just about any Windows-based application, which gives you unprecedented flexibility as you work. It even supports Mozilla Firefox and Thunderbird. Just talk, and you can surf the web, open and close applications, even control your mouse and the entire desktop. You can also dictate, edit, and navigate more easily in Microsoft Word, Outlook Express, and Corel WordPerfect than in previous versions. For Web browsing, Dragon NaturallySpeaking 9 lets you search the Web, access information, and navigate web pages by speaking URLs and links.
The DragonBar includes a "Select and Say" indicator that turns green when you are in an application or window where all of NaturallySpeaking's functionality is supported. | Seamless Editing Functionality
We all add unnecessary "ums" and "ahs" when we speak, and the last thing you want is to spend your time editing all those extraneous insertions from your documents. Thanks to its built-in Nothing But Speech (NBS) technology, Dragon NaturallySpeaking 9 filters out inadvertent fillers and sounds between words, keeping your document clean. The program's "natural punctuation" feature means that when you dictate casual writing styles, you no longer have to say "period" and "comma." So why type your emails, or fiddle with your mouse to surf the Web when you can more easily and quickly use your voice?

Great software but not supported on 64 bit Vista July 4, 2008
D. Wiseman (New Brunswick, Canada)
The software is great however its claim at being fully supported on the Vista OS can be a little misleading. Just purchased a new laptop and this software to go with it under the assumption that it would work. Only to find out it will not run on the Vista 64 bit operating system.
 Great, once you get the hang of it! October 22, 2007

I've been using this program for months now and it works really well. The only reason I didn't give it 5 stars is because I found it frustrating at first. Even after undergoing all the required training, it wasn't working well for me. But I stuck with it and just kept using it. Over time it became much more accustomed to my voice. I'd definitely recommend it to buy. Just make sure not to get too frustrated at first because it will get better.
 Included media incompatible with windows vista. July 5, 2007

The manufactures website falsely claims that this product works with windows vista. It does not. None of the media in the box installs on vista. They give you a web link on a piece of paper where you can download a special copy of the program that works with some versions of vista (32-bit only). Unfortunately the ad hoc update does not support my 64-bit copy of vista. This misinformation is very unfortunate. You would not expect this kind of deception from such an established software company.
 Wow! So easy to use and very accurate. December 18, 2006

This program is amazing! As promised, no training was necessary and, immediately I was able to dictate into MSN messenger, with no mistakes. This made chatting a breeze! Next, I opened Internet Explorer and surfed the web. I have used previous versions of Dragon Naturally Speaking before but this time the improvements in accuracy are outstanding. I spend a lot of time on my computer daily and now find this a tool that increases my productivity and lessens the stress on my hands. Working in Word and other programs is much more productive now that I'm using Dragon Naturally Speaking Standard 9.
