 Waste of time and $ September 2, 2008

Naturally speaking did not work for me after all the prelims. More like 5% right 95% wrong and the front end is hopelessly complicated. I have been doing computers since 1982 and this is a stinker.
 DNS is awesome! August 28, 2008

The product works great. I installed the same license on both my laptop and my desktop. Right now I'm using DNS 9 to write this review.
Key things to know:
1. Two installs will work with the same license (laptop and desktop).
2. You must let the software be trained with your voice!
3. You must go through the training so that you know how to use the software properly. Then consider re-training from time to time.
4. This is not a replacement for typing - It is a compliment to typing. In other words this will make your typing go faster because you can "say" most of what you intend to write and type some of it. As you understand how to use the software properly, you will decide whether making small edits is faster using DNS or using your your own typing. I use both.
5. it works with Firefox, Microsoft Office 2003, Office 2007, Notepad, etc.
6. The more you use it the more accurate it becomes.
7. Special words such as those used at work or in your industry must be trained individually, but I'M surprised at how much it knows already,
8. Get a good mic. I use a $30 Logitech USB headset microphone from RadioShack works awesome. I use this mic with Skype is well.
9. background noise such as air conditioners or airplanes did not affect performance.
I install it twice on a windows XP workstation and both instances did not have a problem at all with the installation. I don't know what everyone is complaining about.
they should pay me for training the product August 17, 2008

This product reminds me that purchase price is not always important. The time I spent on that product cost me 100 times the purchase price....
 Why a rate it a 3 August 13, 2008
While the product works sufficiently, the rebate is not applicable to this version. Very irritating to be told you bought a full product with an upgrade serial number.
It does work fine with Vista and the box made no mention of being an older version.
Who is at fault? I do not know.
I do know I am out $50.00
Be prepared to have your rebate denied.
A headache August 13, 2008

I hate this product. I spend more time training the program than actually writing the documents. By the time I finish correcting all of the mistyped words, I have lost my motivation to write. I'm sorry, but I am much more productive when I am NOT using this software!
