NEW! - Dragon Naturally Speaking 11.5 Home provides a whole new way to interact with a PC – using speech instead of a keyboard and mouse. Just say words and they appear on the computer screen -- three times faster than typing -- with no typos!
For Maximum Accuracy select the NC181 USB digital microphone option. ( the included standard microphone may not work well with your PC - The USB will always work and be highly accurate).
The NC181VMUSB is normally $109 but with this bundle it is only $70. That's a $39 saving!
Use your voice to:
• Dictate and format documents
• Surf and search the Web
• Send email and instant messages to family, friends, and colleagues
• Update Facebook, MySpace, or Twitter
• … and so much more!
For improved accuracy and more features consider Dragon Premium or Professional - especially for business and professional users.
Dragon Home customer review:
"I received the software overnight from voicerecognition. I took it out of the box, I installed it on my PC, and I decided to give it a test run. What I discovered was absolutely astonishing ...
Out-of-the-box, with absolutely no training, Dragon 11 home immediately proved that it was capable of recognizing approximately 95% plus of my sentences. The nature of my business requires that I use many technical terms that are not included in the Dragon dictionary. Many of the words I continually use were not recognized. But after expending a few simple seconds to train Dragon Home to accurately recognize those words, the issues were fixed.
Dragon has approached a near 100% rate of accuracy. I will also add that I am using the upgraded NC181VMUSB microphone, not the standard microphone included with my purchase of Dragon NaturallySpeaking 11 home.
In closing, I can only say that I am entirely satisfied with my purchase of the new version of Dragon Home 11. This entire review was written using Dragon Home 11, and I made absolutely no corrections. I am considering upgrading to the Professional edition soon, as I'm hitting the limit of Home editions vocabulary and feature set. " B.Johnson

Sanchez.” Dragon automatically opens Microsoft® Outlook®, creates a new email,
and enters the correct email addresses for you.
• Say commands like “Search the Web for low-fat lasagna recipe” or “Search maps
for Union College in Schenectady, New York,” and Dragon returns the results.
TRANSFORM IDEAS INTO TEXT AT THE SPEED OF THOUGHT
With Dragon, typing, spelling, or fear of the blank page won’t slow you down.
Dragon keeps up with your brain, instantly transforming ideas into text -- with no

less on the mechanics of typing.
