I use my computer daily for bills, social interaction, and surfing the web. I am 47, quadriplegic, four-year college grad. set up, I was able to start dictating immediately! I can switch from Internet Explorer to e-mail to word processor almost instantaneously. I got the product, loaded in my machine and after a brief 5 min. I am doing this review using DragonDictate NaturallySpeaking 11. I highly recommend this product if you're interested in dictation software. I've even been able to add industry jargon I use to Dragon's vocabulary and it learns for a quickly. When it claims 99% accuracy right out-of-the-box they aren't lying, of course you do get errors from time to time but they are usually understandable.

They also mentioned that if the driver update didn't work you may have to disable the sound card and utilize a USB microphone. Once I updated my driver software I've had zero issues with this product.

After working with Nuance's customer support they stated that they've had problems with Dell and their sound drivers and recommended updating my driver software. Just a caution if you own a Dell computer when I installed the product and first attempted to use it I would get a blue screen error and had to restart my computer. According to the box the headset model may vary, I pointed out to Best Buy that the headset isn't wireless and recommended that they change the description but have not received a response. In the product description from Best Buy it claims it comes with a wireless headset but mine came with a wired headset. In fact I launch this website and am writing this review with the Dragon product. What's even better is that this is more than just a dictation product as it will open applications, send your e-mails, and post to social networking without you ever having to touch a keyboard. I've gone the past three days without having to type a single e-mail as I've been able to dictate straight to my computer. I'm a consultant for a healthcare corporation and many of the physicians I work with use Nuance's medical dictation products and they work great so I was excited to see how the home product would work for me.
