Description

The listing, Like New Dragon Naturally Speaking 9 Standard - Free US and CN Ship has ended.

This is a Dragon naturally Speaking version 9. They have released version 11, so this is a little out of date but can give you some idea. It was supposed to be a pretty good version, though let me give a warning that happens with a lot of my stuff: an average person like me finds this kind of technology somehow unsuitable and in the end only experiments with it. Although I didn't even try this version.

The software looks like it was used a few times and then uninstalled. I got it on Lisita where the lot said it was new but with the CD seals broken which I found it was. I assume it's no longer installed and I didn't install it.

It also comes with a headset, which from the way the wire is coiled looks brand new but I ordered a new ear and microphone pad just in case. I will include the pads when shipping or ship separately if they arrive after the end of the auction.

The lot comes with the headset, an original box in fairly good condition, 2 CDs with a license key on the back of one of the CD sleeves and a manual.

Free US and Canadian shipping. Here are the features and a tiny amount description from this Amazon page http://amzn.to/9mE8SS:

Give it a shot. Beware though , not to be a downer or anything, most people eventually give up on it even though it might be faster. I'm not sure why. I would see it as something to experiment with.

Yeah, be careful, I think most people go back to the old fashion way. The technology for some reason, isn't the way we are used to interacting with the computer.

it takes hours of reading documents into the computer to configure it so do not use this as a last minute job!

That sounds about right. Be ready to do some training with it. maybe that's why most people like me give up.

it does work for the most part, you can speak out a report, and then go back and do some minor corrections. but it does help. at least the one in windows 7
