This is very valuable for social scientists doing a lot of interviews. Instead of spending time, which is usually a very long time, to transcribe the data, it is easier to use the application to type the data for you. It has good voice recognition quality so your data will likely maintain its form, around 80-90% accuracy. > > **Cons**: It requires a lot of memory. It would run fine and smooth at first but the longer you work with it, the more memory it will consume until it crashes. ----- ### "Accurate speech recognition" — 5.0/5 > **Amit** | *17 June 2020* | Photography | Recommendation rating: 8.0/10 > > **Pros**: Been using Dragon software since the 90s and every version gets better. Not only does a great job when dictation, but works well at controlling computer > > **Cons**: The number of license options and versions over the years have become confusing and I wish this was simplified. Wish one liencce could run on my multiple computers. Better mac support would be great > > It's more accurate and faster than google and works really well offline. Works well with accents and learns how you speak over time. Gets better the more you use it. ----- ### "Dragon NaturallySpeaking Review" — 1.0/5 > **Jon** | *26 March 2019* | Law Practice | Recommendation rating: 0.0/10 > > **Pros**: I can read and not take at the same time- when it decides to work. > > **Cons**: It is very inaccurate, I often have to type what I dictated and go back over the reading again. This is the only speech recognition that works with sonnocent except that it doesn't work with that program, it dictates hi, him, and ummm was a complete waste of money especially the premium price for dragon professional, there are cheaper programs that work better, it is a bummer that Dragon has an exclusive license with sonnocet, because I have to listen to and dictate 28 hours of recordings every week, since this hot garbage of a program does not work for the purpose I purchased it for. Some smartalic will say well you need to run the accuracy tuner, or let the program improve accuracy, well I am not a moron and I have done this and GUESS WHAT? IT GETS WORSE, YOU CANNOT DEFEND THIS GARBAGE\!\!\!\! > > I wish I could say that this solved a business problem or for me rather an academic accommodation issue. I spend more time making corrections after this program dictates then I do if I just type it myself. The entire purpose of me purchasing this crap for a second time was to make life easier and leave me time to focus on more important things, but I could never be so lucky instead I wasted hundreds of dollars on a program that has done nothing but cause me to get creative with my use of obscenities. ----- ### "facility" — 5.0/5 > **ayse** | *11 June 2020* | Translation & Localization | Recommendation rating: 10.0/10 > > **Pros**: it's really an indispensable tool. How quickly I gained by simply dictating what needed to be typed. Translating takes time already, but typing takes time too. It's a big help to have to use this software. > > **Cons**: it's true it's an expensive purchase. It is true that it is profitable afterwards, but the cost is substantial. It's not something that everyone can afford. > > Since I sometimes use CAT, I use it less, but it's so much fun to just dictate. You dictate, the job is done, just little checks of connections here and there. ----- ### "Best speech recognition software but the technology still has a long way to go" — 5.0/5 > **Tohibullah** | *9 September 2018* | Information Services | Recommendation rating: 10.0/10 > > **Pros**: Using this for our transcription needs and very much satisfied. There is an advantage using this software over others as they are the market leader in the speech recognition space and truly discern speech better than all other alternatives to date as per my experience. > > **Cons**: The technology still has a long way to go before making it efficient for someone with not English as mother tongue and not fluent in English make use of this software. ----- Page: 1 / 11\ Next: [Next page](https://www.getapp.com.au/software/2056778/dragon-professional-individual-1?page=2) ## Links - [View on GetApp](https://www.getapp.com.au/software/2056778/dragon-professional-individual-1) ## This page is available in the following languages | Locale | URL | | en | | | en-AE | | | en-AU | | | en-CA | | | en-GB | | | en-IE | | | en-NZ | | | en-SG | | | en-ZA | | ----- ## Structured Data
