Does this come with the Dragon Software? Will it turn all my recordings into texT?

No, it does not. I'm not aware of any voice recorder that comes bundled with Dragon Naturally Speaking. Be aware that this is a standalone voice recorder, not something you add to a computer.

Terris, I purchased the software to manage voice recordings made on a Sony digital recorder. Subsequently, I've used an earbud microphone/recorder (Olympus TP-8 Telephone Pick-up Microphone by Olympus) to make recordings of phone calls dealing with detailed instructions of how to handle tax matters. The number of options outside of my needs are numerous. Keeping in mind that I use the software to "edit" voice recordings off of a digital recorder and a couple of technical phone conversations, my guess is that you will have no problems with the software and will be please with it. Beyond this software, Sony has a number of higher end sound products that would allow you to do studio recording quality. Here's my suggestion: buy the software and play with it for ten minutes - record for 5 minutes or so and edit for the remainder of the time. My guess is that you'll be pleased enough to continue using the software. As your understanding of what your needs are and what offerings are available, you can step up. My version predates the current version and is on sale for $24. Spend $24 and give it a spin. What you do not want is to buy a full blown complicated software when you just want to record your book. In summary, I'm pleased since the software more than meets my needs and was very easy to learn to do what I wanted it to do.

It came with software, but I have not loaded the software as I use my own. No idea what is on the cd. But most likely it is viewing/editing/printing software as most cams come with. Sorry can't be of more help. Just never installed it.

This microphone works with all versions of Dragon NaturallySpeaking as well as Mac Dictate. It serves well as a starter microphone.KnowBrainer, Inc.

No software included. I recommend Adobe Audition, but if you're looking for a free alternative, Audacity comes with high praise.

Yes it does but you have to train with Dragon software to get it accustom to your voice.

This recorder does not come with any voice recognition software - which is what you would need to have a transcript made automatically. You would need to purchase voice recognition software such as Dragon NaturallySpeaking in order to type from tape. Programs like Dragon generally can only be trained to recognize one voice well so would not work for a interview or any type of group setting.

Yes. The program will auto-complete most ingredients as you type. It is even compatible with Dragon Naturally Speaking which makes the process go even faster.

Dragon works well in Windows but is not compatible with Mac. I'm not sure if the version has been updated since I purchased it. The latest version is much better at distinguishing regional dialects / accents.

I purchased it to function with Dragon Speak software. It will do this if you have that software.

I'm not sure one can import files into Dragon.This model provides an audio file that you can import into a computer. The question remains, Can Dragon do anything more than create text from and audio file. You should contact Dragon support. This is a great recorder for the price. I use it to record backup audio for 2 hour video captures and Depositions.

I received a Phillips digital recorder boxed with my version of Dragon speak 12.0. I have yet to use it, however and do not know if other digital recorders would be compatible but I assume so.

Yes it does. It also improved the accuracy of my Dragon Naturally Speaking to about 98%. I use it all the time now.

I have used it with apple voice memos and other recording apps. I did not purchase an additional app to use it.

As long as it records in MP3, or WAV formats, Dragon NaturallySpeaking will be able to process the file. You will have to train the program at the minimum of 4 min. first. It works quite well for me but I usually dictate "live" as I am doing now to answer this question.
