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. ----- ### "Worst customer service ever\!" — 3.0/5 > **Sue** | *13 May 2023* | Marketing & Advertising | Recommendation rating: 0.0/10 > > **Pros**: I tend to dictate while out walking and use the Dragon to transcribe my recordings. > > **Cons**: The customer service is horrible, consisting of unhelpful, canned responses. > > Used it without issue since 2019, though I cannot train it to a level where I can actually dictate errorfree. Use it mostly for transcribing recordings.A month ago, my laptop suffered a hard drive failure and needed to be replaced. I found out that the download file stops working after two years. Support stuff suggested I re-purchase the product.I eventually located the download file on an old backup and re-installed the product. Only to find that I couldn't activate it because I didn't uninstall the software from my old laptop - which I couldn't\!I've never dealt with any company so unhelpful and predatory. Would not recommend. ----- ### "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
