Does the included Dragon Software work well (accuracy & compatibility) or would I be better off with the Dragon Premium V12?

The included Dragon software did not work well for me, but I didn't try 12 so I have no idea if it is any better. I wss so upset by the abysmal perfomance of the included software that I refused to spend any more money on Dragon products.

I actually already had Dragon and bought this specifically to work with it so I can't say for sure. However, my guess is the full version would always be optimal and more stable.

it works reasonably well, but it's not perfect. works well enough for me, but i had low expectations.

The accuracy is not at all accurate. You would be better off purchasing something else.

Pls dont buy....I've already wasted my investment. I contacted them about the weird transcription, they suggested me to contact software company, then I emailed them, did not get fruitful results. It totally waste of your resources. Better, buy cheap recorder.

Dictation software is available on the Mac. Although I haven't looked at it in a while and it may have changed with the last update, the Mac dictation is far more limited and is more appropriate for a sentence or two or quick commands. Unless it has radically changed, it is not as accurate as Dragon, once you have set up and implemented Dragon. It is good for a quick sentence here or there but isn't yet set up for dictating long text documents the way that Dragon is. I agree it would be much better to have all this at your fingertips within the OS itself (and I'd even be willing to pay for an add on). Dragon definitely could use some competition in this market and Apple clearly has the ability to do this, as does Google. Sadly, neither company has released anything that can compete directly with Dragon. Dragon's software definitely works, but whether you are using it in Windows or OS X, it is definitely quirky and never completely integrates with the host OS. Having the most mature and viable product and pretty much the ONLY product for individual use, has allowed Dragon to charge higher prices, give so-so customer support to retail consumers, and continue to put a product that never quite meshes completely with the host OS (although it remains highly useful and is gobs faster than typing). It is only a matter of time, though, and this is a field where some healthy competition would be a good thing.

I don't use Dragon, but this is a very clear, high quality headset. I think it would work with speech recognition software, no problem.

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 did a lot of research and this is the one I decided to get. Try checking it out at www.dpreview.com. They have excellent reviews and you can do side-by-side comparisons.

I have a DX6i and it works great. The instructions come with setup information for most Spektrum transmitters. You can also just get the RTF version that comes with a transmitter (controller). The Spektrum computerized transmitters are nice if you intend to make this a hobby as you can store profiles for multiple helios/airplanes and just pick the one you are flying for the session, allowing you to save some money by getting the BNF versions.

We only use ours once in a blue moon and it seems fast in my view. As far as the compatibility is concern, I have no idea. Thanks

The Black edition has the same forward lens as the 9500xi, so supposedly it boosts the range an additional 40%. Not to sway you towards a different detector, but I bought a Valentine One about a year ago. I would highly recommend getting that over any of the Escorts. Knowing WHERE the radar is, is way nicer than IF there's radar, and IF it's fake or legit.

I've used Dragon with Windows XP, Vista and with 8, but not 7. But since 7 is between the 2, I assume it would be fine with it as well.

I would highly recommend switching to BlueIris for the software interface. It works well with the Apexis cameras on IOS, Android, and all of the major Internet Browsers.

Avoid the pantech uml 290, its junk with this device. I've been told the newer, more expensive, pantech uml 295 works well though

Possibly, Dragon Frame is very good a but rather complex. You could get the similar effect with Stop motion Pro which is easier to use but a bit more pedestrian.

Yes, my girl friend uses it with Dragon Premium 11.5 running in windows 8 on her Lenovo.

I think so. The scroller works well for me. The only issue I have is the accuracy of the sensor is not high enough.

Yes they do. The company is in Asia, so the update process isnt always clear due to the language issue. Not all updates work well also, even if installed properly. The hardware on the Finevu Id say is quite good. The software I feel is substandard by PC standards, but possibly on par for the dashcam/ DVR market. Either way my CR-500 bricked for no discernible reason. And Im out my entire purchase price. So I just dont run a dashcam anymore. Its a risk, but Ill wait for something cheaper or more reliable. Dashcam use is quite rare in the US.

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.

Nuance lists 4 GB as the minimum recommended for Dragon Dictate v.4. That's no guarantee, however. I've not been able to get Dragon Dictate v.4 to work satisfactorily with 10.9.4 Mavericks on a late model MacBook Pro Retina with 16GB of RAM. One thing that I did insist on when upgrading through Nuance on was to get in writing from them that I had a 30-day unconditional return privilege. Normally vendors won't give refunds on software. If you can get a trial copy then at least you'll know what you'll get in terms of performance and accuracy with 2GB without having to buy a product.My experience has been that this app is erratic and buggy and, unbelievably they've not updated it to take care of the major problems. A few users claim to get satisfactory results with the Mac version. Not in my case. An option would be to contact OtherWorldComputing (MacSales) to ask what the cost would be to upgrade to 4 or 8 GB and how much of a performance boost could be expected. They provide easy to follow DIY videos and instructions for specific MacBook Pro models on how to insert the memory. Depending on the model, only a screwdriver and/or some knowledge about preventing static electricity from damaging sensitive components. The videos can be viewed at their site to give you an idea whether it's something you'd want to tackle.
