Review: I know some of you may be considering the downloaded version but I highly recommend just picking up the physical shipment - To everyone who is considering purchasing Dragon NaturallySpeaking Premium 13.0, I say you should pick it up. Now, this is not coming from somebody who is an expert at the product, as I've only been using it for a couple of hours now. Nevertheless, this is more or less the same experience you may have showed you pick up a copy for yourself. The version that I picked up is the physical shipment. For a total shipping cost of $10, I received my package in two days. I ordered on a Friday night and received it just after 12 PM on Sunday. THAT'S RIDICULOUS!!! I know some of you may be considering the downloaded version but I highly recommend just picking up the physical shipment. It will also come with a headset which you may find useful. The software installed smoothly and works exactly as advertised. My particular system is a Windows 10 64-bit system. I also have 16 Gigs of RAM. The software has a reputation for consuming a lot of resources and I've generally confirm this. However, my laptop which was built in 2013 is more than enough to handle the software. If you're using a system it's only a couple of years old, you probably won't have any trouble running the software either. I am also using a MikTek Pro Cast SST microphone for Dragon to pick up. (I couldn't get the included headset to work with my particular computer however I believe this is something that is isolated to my computer and may not be an issue for you.) There is a tutorial that will help you understand how to use the software once you install it and started. It's a fairly good tutorial, nevertheless I do recommend following some YouTube videos if you need additional information. I'm just learning to use the system myself but overall I find that it's fairly intuitive. It does get a bit annoying to have to verbalize your punctuation such as the word "Period". This is something that I'll have to get used to, which is a matter of time. I also find that it is very tempting to have Dragon NaturallySpeaking do all of the work for you. I find that I tried to utilize Dragon to do all of the editing and to change all of the words. Knowing when I should do the editing and when I should tell Dragon to edit is something that you will have to figure out on your own. I knew this going into the product and I had decided that the best course of action was to be cooperative with the product and take an interactive approach. So far this does seem to be the best approach. I certainly hope that this review makes sense to you. It was entirely conducted with Dragon naturally speaking, except were a couple of corrections were necessary and I found that it was easiest to make them manually. Overall I'm very pleased with the accuracy – – I happen to have a Midwestern accent which is a little bit drier and may be more accurate for the software itself. I highly recommend Dragon NaturallySpeaking 13.0 Premium. I'm looking forward to using this for all of my blogging and product creation needs. I think you'll find that it's an incredible product as well. Thank you for your time.
Review: Respectable with A Few Flaws - I began using speech recognition three years ago because of the volume of research and writing that I do. The reviews for Dragon NaturallySpeaking compared to Windows speech recognition then seemed to concur that WSR was just as good as anything from Nuance. I have always found Windows speech recognition a tad frustrating in the number of errors in recognition results and the poor microphone volume control. The add-on macros are a nice addition to WSR. With the release of Dragon NaturallySpeaking 13, I decided to try it to see if it would perform better than the built in Microsoft option. The installation was painless as well as the initial setup. There is no training required to get started, and the accuracy was surprisingly high without this requirement; however, I have since read one of the training documents because of the amount of text that I have to dictate every day, I wanted to ensure greater accuracy. Since purchasing DNS13 on August 11, 2014 I've dictated just over 6,000 words; out of curiosity I did track corrections that had to be made, and Dragon NaturallySpeaking's accuracy came in at 99.2%. My VXi TalkPro UC2 microphone is working very well with Dragon NaturallySpeaking, much better than it was with Windows speech recognition. The product integrates well with Microsoft Word and Outlook, but all of the default hotkeys must be changed otherwise you cannot create formulas in Excel. It is unfortunate that after all of these years that people have requested integration with Microsoft OneNote, the only thing DNS 13 can manage is the ribbon; text cannot be dictated directly into the program. One thing I do miss about Windows speech recognition is the add-on macros tool where I could build routine formatting commands. I use this extensively in Microsoft OneNote; for example, I would dictate a line and then voice a command that would select the entire line, set the font point size, set tags, and then enter a double line feed. If you try to dictate into some web forms, such as desertcart's search field, the Internet Explorer Full Text Control browser add-on does crash Dragon NaturallySpeaking (according to the DNS and Windows event logs), and corrupt all right-click context menus in Windows 7; a reboot is required to clear up the problem. With Firefox, the browser add-on simply does not work. There is a plethora of commands available in DNS 13 to suit whatever level of keyboard or mouse interaction you would rather use your voice to control. I particularly like being able to search the web when something comes to mind, the "search the web" command is great. Overall, for me, the product is better than Windows speech recognition, and I can continue to work around the browser add-on crashing, missing Microsoft OneNote integration, and lack of custom formatting commands as quality recognition is my number one need. For now, Dragon NaturallySpeaking 13 gets four stars; address the missing OneNote integration and the browser add-on crashing, and I might bump it up to five stars.

## Questions & Answers

**Q: Is it worth it to get v13 over v12? Whats the difference? Also, is there an advantage to gettting premium?**
A: This is a massive difference between v12 & v13. This new version is more stable, quicker, recognizes your words faster and is more accurate. The premium version allows you to use a digital voice recorder and you can than load the files from the recorder into your computer and have it transcribe the files.  Some people who already have v12 already installed may need to go to the Nuance/dragon website and download a special uninstall program to completely remove v12. I purchased v13 the day it was released but this issue may already be fixed on later releases of v13.

**Q: Can I install Dragon 13 Premium in several computers? If so, how many?**
A: When I bought Dragon NaturallySpeaking premium 11 I called them and was told I could install it on as many computers as I used but that I was only one allowed to use it. Also version 11 is much better than version 12.

**Q: I need to write a thesis will Dragon setup reference page and the correct format for the paper**
A: Hmmm...I think there might be some misunderstanding on your part as to what Dragon does.Also it would help if you provided some more information, like what program you will be using to type your thesis.Dragon does not control your page setup, you do, Dragon just let's you speak instead of type.Hope that helps.

**Q: Are they're limitations on what type of headset can be used with this software?  I have a Plantronics Bluetooth headset that I would like to use...**
A: To answer your question, no, there are no limitations on the headset, a good quality Bluetooth headset should work just fine.However, it is important to note that noise levels present in the audio stream will negatively affect the accuracy.If in general, you are using an audio input device that delivers at least "FM" radio level performance, which is 32kHz at 8 or 16 bit, then you can get good performance. Hope that helps.

### ⭐ With my post. 40 haters and 58 lovers. What does that statistic tell you to do? ( 4/5 star people were generous-caution)
*by S***? on February 8, 2015*

If the haters and the lovers become equal-a wish might come true; Dragon or nuance managers will hire talented, quality management; then retire. Wondering if, management is under reacting and then overacting, as well as tinkering. For long-term use, is not comforting to imagine management does not know what they're doing. I came back and read through the very generous folk's that gave this program 4 stars. The four-star people are extremely generous, because after struggling with Dragon until 13 begin to function; they believed and they gave. So it's fair to say there might be 70 or more warning remarks, to the 59-I-do-love-Dragon. Also five-star people have complaints...(I was a little aggravated with Dragon beginning with version (4 ?), however I did "love" Dragon until I had a problem with hooker, and now with 13 not installing). Only obsolete, Adobe products such as Flash, and Shockwave work with Dragon 11.5. Not being able to update is aggravating, and then more aggravation. At the beginning of my "love" for Dragon, I fed Dragon fine microphones. During earlier years some were good, satisfying,and inexpensive microphones(Discontinued). However Dragon's diet also included a variety of Bluetooth mics, including a CS 50, as well as computer upgrades($300 and $400 microphones do not make sense). Unless convinced that 12.5 is better, I'm going back to 11; then using the Dragon money to buy a good replacement microphone (Quality is important; however, costs will be less than $175. $300 doesn't make sense). If I'm lucky, somewhere I have a stored copy of 11.5 update. It just might be, many 4 stars and the 5 stars people are new users: Not many satisfied users said they upgraded from D S 11 or 12, so of primary importance is whether or not Dragon 13 is faster and more accurate than Dragon 11 and 12. Now my question is, if I pay the aggravation-price required for Dragon 13 to work, is 13 much faster and more accurate than D S 12.5, as well as, faster and more accurate than my 11.5. Additional features and integration might be a fine thing, if and only if the basic functions of the program works without hassle. Read the advertisement: "The fastest and most accurate way to interact with your computer; Dragon dramatically boosts your personal productivity and helps you realize your full potential" So carefully worded... "Who will help me make the bread"...; without a nuance of remorse that it is obvious, "not I says" the Dragon. Is it true, where production is driven by perceived price and by gimmicky sales, quality falls, the price rises, and the potential for greater profit will declined. Oh well, this is the age of the TV sharks. The Complaint: and, Why bother scribbling here? At five o'clock in the morning, is dark and cold outside . I've had Dragon versions since the year 2000 and maybe before. Wanted 13 to eliminate hooker... problems. Not worth the trouble to look up the exact Hooker name. So, 13 did not install: DVD player didn't recognize the disk (Cheap, low-end junk disk). It might be that my relatively new laptop's also deserves complaining about the DVD system; however,is a separate matter and that DVD usually function. Copied to USB with a high-end computer. 13 did not install. This message,." Dragon NaturallySpeaking 13 set up requires elevation. Please run setup.exe from the installation source". After reading the reviews here I decided to send this crap back and simply use the older 11.0 version. Is marginally okay except for the problems with hooker... Chances are, will eventually be able to install Dragon NaturallySpeaking 13. But why! Why do we bother to give good money to the thoughtless and to those who could care less. More wasting time complaining t o the uncaring ear, oh well, this began again at five in the morning: To create this remarkable program required an internal culture with extreme dedication to perfecting the basic engine. Those good people could not be successful without attention given to eliminating defects. The result, we who about to die because we can not type 90 words a minute, love Dragon. It is known; Dragon works better on faster machines, and the microphone is extremely important, so I own several computers purchased, because I imagine Dragon would work better... Conceptually correct, wrong in reality :-( Back to intent questions: Alternative to management retirement: Back to the Basics. Study the work of Frederick Winslow Taylor. Nope. Taylor does not emphasize that all problems are caused by upper management's lack of ability to see the forest. There are convoluted 100-year newer ideals. Hum... Nope. Where management systems have limited insight, W. Edward Deming did get to the point with a figurative, decent upper management butt kicking.
