Anybody have experience using this with Dragon Naturally Speaking? Thanks. Joan

Yes, I am using it right now to respond to your question. It does a fantastic job. I bought the spare battery and charger stand that also holds the earpiece. When the one battery wears down after 4, 5 hours continuous use I switch batteries and continue right on without any interruptions. It does everything that it advertises and I am 100% pleased with it. Dragon Naturally Speaking however is another issue.

It is Dragon Naturally Speaking Recorder Edition 12.0. I am not sure what processor is required but I think it says that in the description. And I don't know if it is the full program or not as this is the first Dragon I have used so I wouldn't know if it was missing things.

I had the same problem. There was absolutely nothing in the manual about how to enable text to speech. If you did not know the acronym ("TTS") and what that meant alongside the voices, you would never have guessed it. I love my unit, but was seriously disappointed with the poor documentation of the product. It is like so much tech doc these days: written BY the people who thoroughly understand the product's ins and outs and FOR the same sorts of readers (i.e., fellow knowers of the ins and outs)!

I love the device, but I haven't used the Dragon yet. The sound quality is amazing, so if you already use Dragon, the voice quality will be more than adequate to decipher it.

Dragon NaturallySpeaking home version 12.5 works with Windows 8 in general. What I mean by that is that if you're using Microsoft products for example, word, excel, Outlook, and PowerPoint. It seems to work fantastically. In all other cases you will simply have to use the dictation box which is a part of Dragon NaturallySpeaking that can be used when the program does not allow for direct dictation. On the other hand if you have purchased Dragon NaturallySpeaking premium 12.5. This is the professional version and it is specifically designed to work with Windows 8 directly without frequent use of the dictation box. Finally to make myself clear if you cannot directly dictate in application all you have to do is say "open dictation box". This is if you're just using the home version, and if you happen to own the professional version of Dragon you should be able to dictate directly to a Windows 8 application.

No, it doesn't work on macs. I made the mistake of buying it and I have a mac. It won't work. There is a separate Dragon program for macs, but I haven't spent the money on it yet.

Sorry it took so long to get back to you. There is not a che chinese voice function currently loaded into the GPS. I am trying to find out how to do that. Strange because they have so many minor languages. I will reply in a few days if I can successfully load that voice function.

I have not tried it with any of the Dragon's voice dictation products myself. I would strongly suggest going to a store having a look or checking with someone who has tried it. What I do know is that some of these devices can be very particular about co-operating with other devices. I've struggled with a few of them already, and I also currently having intermittent timeouts on this one with Cisco IP Communicator Softphone software.

Hi Bruce I've barely used the voice feature at all - only to disable vocal annunciation. It seems to work albeit you must speak a bit slowly & certainly clearly.

Don't know. Works well on phone but have been unable to get it to work with Dragon Naturally speaking.

Yes it is. Just make sure you have updated to the latest version of Naturally Speaking.

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

Program is Dragon's Naturally Speaking. Once you perform the setup of reading a provided dialogue, the program "learns" you voice and can then transcribe your voice recordings to an editable text file. I read through my transcriptions and then edit to ensure proper punctuation. Still quicker than typing it all.

Not sure how it works with Dragon, but I can say I use voice to text on my phone and it works great. I also use it with my PC's softphone and Lync Voice and in both cases it works fine.

Although I use this recorder with a Macbook Pro which is not compatible with the software interface, I do know others that have used it on a PC with Dragon. As long as you obtain a clean recording (one w/o a lot of background noise such as street sounds, music, etc) the transcription of the recording to text through Dragon is fairly accurate. It will be necessary to validate conversion especially if the recordings come from multiple voices / accents. And it will not be able to distinguish between differennt speakers so you will need to annotate the text with each speaker's name.

I am using the free microphone that comes with Dragon Home 12. The free one was better than Plantronics Audio 628 listed in Dragon website. Perhaps the quality of the free microphones have improved

I use it for Dragon speaking. It has good quality sound. For gaming you might want a full headset for stereo sound though.
