Users gain the added benefit of avoiding spelling errors and typing mistakes. In fact, the product actually learns from corrections over time. Works With the Applications Users Already Have
Dictate directly into Microsoft Word and most other Microsoft Office applications running on Microsoft Windows XP, Windows 2000, and Windows Vista.

In addition, unique Natural Language Commands mean users don't have to memorize complex instructions. In Word, for example, a user can say, "make that bigger," and the font size increases instantly. With the automatic punctuation option, users can omit spoken periods and commas during dictation--Dragon NaturallySpeaking enters them automatically.

Users can browse the Internet with ease: search the Web, access information and navigate Web pages, simply by speaking URLs and links. User Benefits Faster than Typing
Most people speak more than 120 per minute but type less than 40 words a minute.

 great when it works November 18, 2008
Michael A. Johnson (San Jose, California)
I had to get Dragon Naturally Speaking Standard 10 since my newer Vista Laptop doesn't accept my old Dragon version 7, and the built in Vista word recognition is so cruddy, refusing to even work on the Microsoft Word Processor, insisting on only working on the Word, which you must pay extra for. On the one hand, it does work slightly better than 7 even after years of training 7. No need of long training sessions before it even starts to recognize your voice correctly. Right out of the box it works better than 7 in almost every way. However, it does have 2 problems. One, when you say period, at odd intervals, it not only puts in the period, but a random capitol letter and erases any empty space between the random letter and the next word, even if it has to erase two or three empty lines to do it. The second is more frustrating. On random days about two to three weeks apart, it refuses to start. As I say, I have a laptop. Even though it worked perfectly adequately every day for a month, it suddenly refused to turn on because it could not find a multimedia card on my computer. (No laptop has one, as they all use a multimedia chip.) After three or four attempts I gave up. But the next morning it was back to running normally. Until two weeks later. When I tried to turn it on I got the same panic stricken notice that the multimedia card from my computer was missing or broken, and that it was impossible for Dragon to work on my computer until I installed a new card. Next day it ran normally, apparently never noticing the card wasn`t there.
Good Software... Headphones suck. November 10, 2008
Joe (Pittsburgh, PA)
I bought this for my boss and he hasn't had any problems and his only complaint was the headphones leave a lot to be desired. Punctuation, unless spoken, does not show up, but he has only been using it for a month so I don't know if that changes as the program learns.
