I do like my software So when I heard about the ‘NEW’ version Dragon Naturally Speaking 10 Standard, with headset and mic, for $34.99 I couldn’t resist. First of all you need to know that version 10 is not compatible with Windows 7, however, I will be running it in XP mode which I have on my personal Desktop.

On a personal note:
I downloaded the free’version for my Iphone,and I was really taken by the accuracy so decided to buy!The standard version for my desktop.The ‘earlier’version I had was way too slow! But with this version there’s an 95% accuracy when adding your voice including the medical and legal terms.In addition I just loved the Amazon price 50% cheaper!
The only suggestions/s I would say is you’ll probably need to upgrade to a better microphone.
Oh and don’t forget the minimum PC specs!
