Hello, I"m currently using version 11 and from what Dragon Support team told me that version 11 has much more enhanced medical library, accent recognition etc. I would say version 11 is a safer bet. So far no issues, works great with Nuance PowerMic II

Yes, you can dictate a book to Dragon! That is my reason for using it. When you first start, it goes through some exercises so that the software recognizes your style of conversation and any accent you have. That makes it very intuitive when you start talking and dictating. It does perform punctuation and grammar when you instruct it. So if you haven't done that before, you will need to get used to that. You will say things like ... Quote, comma, period, end quote. But another user mentioned that it doen't help with that, and I believe he or she means that if you don't know correct punctuation or grammar, it won't edit for you. Also, you can train it to know how to spell things like names that are different. On my iPad, I can't get it to ever spell my name right, but Dragon will learn and then do it correctly from that point on. You can even learn instructions for going back a few words and tell it to capitalize or delete or add something. It does take time to learn these things, but it is well worth the investment, especially if you don't type fast or need to stand. I think a person could also purchase a Bluetooth if they wanted to be doing something at the same time! But I haven't tried that yet. Best wishes to you as you write your book!

Dragon Assistant is more accurate and fun than than the native Win 8.1 speech recognition software but the version I was using when I uninstalled it would only take about one sentence at a time and had to be restarted after every sentence so it was only usable for texting. The native Win 8.1 Speech recognition software is in my opinion still a bare bones Beta product, so I will be purchasing Dragon 12.5. I hope Nuance finally delivers on the promise, this'll be the third or fourth purchase of a dragon product. Anybody want a free copy of Dragon 10 that was never satisfactory?

Interesting question... If it is your voice that has been trained on Dragon and it's your voice on the old audio tapes, I would think yes! If not, you could try it; as my daughter picked up my headset once and her voice transcribed pretty well without being trained. You may want to call : 1-888-831-0088 ask for Mike

From the CD that accompanies he package: "Dragon Naturally Speaking 11 - Recorder Edition." It is basically a modified version of the main V.11, that is downloaded to the computer. The main function of this version is for converting the MP3 oral dictation to words onto the computer. For more details, contact their website or customer service.

It won't Don, the Mac versions "Dragon Dictate" & "MacSpeech" are what you would need and they cost considerably more than the PC Dragon Home. $150.00 to $200.00 new. Maybe you may find a deal on a used version for Mac at Amazon. I bought mine used for about half the price of the new software simply because the box seal was broken. I sure am happy with my Dragon though. Once you get used to it you sure save a lot of time.

I have recently purchased Dragon Naturally Speaking Premium 12, latest version. I am testing it at this time, so cannot give you a yes or no. It might depend on your version of Dragon and if for a Mac or PC. Mine is for PC. If you search Google for Dragon and what recorders are compatible you will find a list. I believe this recorder was on the list. I will post again soon once I test it further.

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

I do not personally use Dragon however when using with Skype it required the download of an "API" which I think means additional code to provide functionality for the device. Something similar may be required for Dragon. Definitely worth a little research.

The computer specs are those which Dragon requires for a PC. The Mac version has a different name. It is the standard version that you get, I got 12 or 12.5 a few months ago, 13 came out the end of 2014. If you already have dragon you can get the recorder without it. You use the usb to transfer the recorder files to your pc than use them after that download. The recorder doesn't need a different mic other than the one it comes with and is embedded in the recorder.

It works well with Dragon. I don't have legal version. Quality mic but don't drop it. Broke first time I dropped it. It was a fall any cell phone would have survived.

Yes. I just bought it for exactly that purpose because Nuance's website has this rated as one of their best performing digital recorders with Dragon Naturally Speaking. Google "Nuance hardware compatibility list" and you can read their recommendations. I tested the DVT1000 last night with Dragon Naturally Speaking Premium 12 (Academic Version) and after doing the required setup, I was amazed at how well it performed. Super accurate. I recommend it.

The US version in English transcription only. I suggest contacting Nuance.com, the developer of Dragon Naturally Speaking to see if the Japanese version that was introduced in Sept. 2012, is available for use with the Sony recorder. There are other options to translate and transcribe including Babylon and ATLAS, both which would require a multi-step process to translate Japanese to English or just transcribe Japanese.

Windows phones have their own built in software which works pretty good, so never looked into Dragon. I actually use the voice text message very often, and the quality is very standard. Voice email must use a different algorithm than the texting, as it seems to perform better. I do not craft complicated emails or texts using this software, however.

The "trodat professional 55510" has worked good for me. It has 10 digits which include numbers and a few character options as well. Amazon had it for about $30.

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 have no experience with Dragon or voice recognition software, sorry I can't help you there. I'll try testing it though.
