Customer Reviews

love it

My husband bought this book along with the program and is using daily. The program is great and this book makes it very simple to use.

Book Purchase

This was a great purchase! It was exactly what I was looking for and was just what was described. It was shipped and I received it very quickly!

Update to my previous review

I still consider this book excellent. NaturallySpeaking no matter which version can be challenging. I believe there will be confusion though if this book is used for other then version 4. There are many changes since then.With all speech recognition failure will happen unless you do the following:1. Computer specifications about double of what is recommended.2. Computers have been prepared using original CD's to load the operating system.3. Vocabularies are pre-populated with words and phrases from previous documents.4. The starting pace of the person's voice is determined.If the above is done, the user can enjoy close to 100% accuracy.

Useful book

I found some information that I was unable to find in other books on Dragon NaturallySpeaking. It covers a wide range of topics. It has an easy to read style along with a lot of good tips.

Excellent - a must for all owners of Dragon NaturallySpeakin

I have trained Dragon products for six years. I have waited for a comprehensive book for my clients after the inital training is completed. This book is excellent and will do just that.It is also for the person who would like to train themselves. It gives an objective view of speech recognition, and does not lower the persons expectations, rather puts them in perspective.Excellent for everyone.
