Millions of users turn to Dragon each day to make PC interaction easier, faster and more fun.

This revolutionary and easy-to-use product gives users everything they need to get started, including a high-quality headset.

Turn Talk Into Text

Accurate Speech Recognition for PC Applications
Dragon NaturallySpeaking 10 Standard offers unprecedented speech recognition with unrivaled accuracy levels: it's up to 20% more accurate than Version 9, with up to 50% more accurate results than the product delivered just five years ago. 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. Dragon also supports popular programs such as Corel WordPerfect, Microsoft Internet Explorer, Mozilla Firefox, and AOL. Navigate the desktop by voice: launch or switch applications, save or print documents, and more--even control menus and dialog boxes.

Create and Edit Documents and Messages
Dragon NaturallySpeaking 10 introduces new graphical icons to enhance the DragonBar user interface, making the product even easier to use.

Users can quickly add custom words, such as proper names, to the system's vocabulary.

Quick Voice Formatting commands allow users to issue a single voice command, such as "Bold Quick Voice Formatting" to make deleting and formatting text faster than ever. 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.

Send Email, Instant Messages and Surf the Web--All by Voice
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. That means users can create documents and email messages more than three times faster using Dragon NaturallySpeaking 10 Standard. The software never makes a spelling mistake, and it actually gets smarter the more it's used.

Fun and Easy to Use--Get Started Right Away
Dragon NaturallySpeaking installs quickly and requires no special script reading. New on-screen help and tutorials help users become experts in no time. Users can dictate letters and emails instantly! A comfortable, high-quality headset is included.

Avoid Repetitive Strain Injuries
By using voice to control the PC and create documents, users reduce their risk of developing repetitive strain injuries, such as carpal tunnel syndrome.

4 out of 5 stars Well worth the price   November 23, 2009
Shannon Godwin
I have had Dragon NaturallySpeaking version 10 for about a week now, and I must confess, I am pretty amazed by its ability. I do agree with other reviews in that you have to know the specifications of your computer prior to purchasing, but if you are certain that you have all of the requirements that are listed on the box, you should be fine to use the software. I should also note that I did not use the included headphones, rather I bought a Logitech premium notebook headset, and have used it successfully since I began. Everything seems to work well with Dragon NaturallySpeaking 10, I've taken a couple of the training exercises so it can better recognize my voice, and other than being time consuming, they are well worth the time invested. I would highly recommend this program to anyone who does not like typing, or who has struggled typing because of a physical inability. I have used the software to write this review, and I have made most corrections and modifications to this message without using the keyboard. I think it is also worth noting, that I have a relatively strong southern accent, but Dragon NaturallySpeaking seems to work around my accent relatively well (I think it's the training). All in all, I think that this is a good buy, if you can find it for less than $60.


4 out of 5 stars Dragon NS10   November 22, 2009
Mark Critchfield (Missouri)
I have been reluctant to get into voice recognition, but a friend pushed me into trying this software. I must say the Dragon is very accurate and easy to use. It's much faster than a keyboard. 2-thumbs up!


5 out of 5 stars Thanks   November 16, 2009
Sally Conway
Thanks for shipping this product right out. We needed it for a student that we have in the school district. It is a great help. Thanks again


1 out of 5 stars They will bombard you with telemarketing   November 16, 2009
July (Roanoke, Virginia United States)
Since buying this product over a year ago Nuance has bombarded me with telemarketing calls. They do not leave a message. I ask them to take me off the list but they don't.
Google - Nuance telemarketing - to see all the complaints. They show up on caller id as "new once"



5 out of 5 stars Will Help Improve the Flow of Your Letters.   November 14, 2009
G. Mitchell (Denver, CO)
Something is so often "lost" when I type a letter. I have a bad habit of stopping in the middle of a paragraph and going back to read the previous 2 or 3 sentences so I can figure out exactly what to type next. Plus there is the "mind-to-keyboard" bridge that is a further nuisance to me, and sentences don't always "connect" as they should.

After the program's short voice-training period, I spoke 3 full paragraphs on my Windows XP system (with a good "Creative X-Fi Extreme" sound card), and there was only one wrong word. I was very impressed with its speed & accuracy (which does have a slider bar adjustment if needed). If you want to see it in action, there are a bunch of good video demo's on YouTube.

It's hard to explain, but this program added a "warmness", and "natural flow" to my letters, just as if I were sitting there talking directly to the person I was writing. The reason is that because with this program, all you have to do is just sit there and talk naturally, (with no delays, distractions, or "over thinking" the next sentence), and the software does the rest.
