A parent: 

For our 12 year old son, school was a nightmare. His Aspergers made the work tedious, his dyslexia was frustrating, and his dysgraphia made handwriting extremely difficult and exhausting. According to him, it was torture every day until he met the Dragon. It took a bit of practice and he was frustrated when the Dragon didn't understand him. He even was heard reprimanding the Dragon for making mistakes! Soon, however, he and the Dragon became fast friends. Sometimes they would play too much and Alex enjoyed tricking the Dragon with sound effects. It's now almost 4 years later and Alex and the Dragon are still friends. Alex has been able to write wonderfully imaginative stories with the help of the Dragon, as well as complete other academic projects in high school. Now, he and the Dragon talk often which allows his ideas to be communicated more effectively so that the true Alex shines through. Thank you Dragon!

A parent: 
For eight years my child has had exceptional challenges in the classroom. It began in kindergarten and he is now a 7th grader. We were told that he didn't recognize vowel sounds and that his reading skills were very poor. We tried everything to determine his problem and to get him assistance. I immediately went to work to get an IEP (individualized education program) developed for him so that he would have assistance in the classroom. …Dragon has allowed him to have perfect notes, which has also helped him improve his grades from C's and D's to ALL B's. Not only are we thrilled for him, but his self-esteem has dramatically improved and he has so much self-confidence! This program has been worth every penny that we paid. …We are thrilled with this program and the best part is that now he talks about wanting to go on to college, where before he adamantly refused because he was so frustrated with school that he felt like college would be impossible. This program has changed my child's life drastically for the better and to hear him speaking of going to college because of what Dragon can do for him........truly a success story!!

Michael Campisi: 
I am 16 years old. I was born prematurely at 26 weeks. My early birth left me with many medical problems. In particular, cerebral palsy and hydrocephalus have caused me to struggle in school. I am unable to look downward for long periods of time and tire easily. As you can imagine, this has made some of my school work impossible, such as scribing. There was always more information in my mind than I could ever get onto paper. Six years ago, as school became more demanding, I was given a one-on-one personal aide to scribe all of my notes, projects, homework, tests and various daily activities. This worked extremely well for many years. Now that I am a teenager and going into high school next year, I wanted to become independent. It was becoming a social problem to have this wonderful caring aide by my side all day long. Kids were beginning to tease me. At last year's IEP, I heard about a program that could help me by doing all the typing for me by voice recognition. It was Dragon Naturally Speaking. I had a trial period with Dragon all last summer and from the moment I started the program, I felt like it was designed especially for my needs. It was the answer to all my prayers. The school agreed and provided me with the program to use during my school years. While I will always be thankful for my personal aide, I am thrilled to be able to enter into high school with the greatest gift of all.... independence. Thanks so much Nuance. You were the answer to my prayers.

"Dragon NaturallySpeaking has absolutely changed my life! I am what you might call a cyber professor, I teach Humanities and Anthropology to students around the world entirely online. In order to make a living this way, I have to teach a lot of classes. With the volume of students I teach, I read a lot of e-mails, grade a lot of papers, and facilitate many discussion boards every week. When my classroom-based colleagues ask me what my secret is, I tell them quite simply that it is Dragon NaturallySpeaking. Dragon allows me to effectively and efficiently provide my students with the attention and feedback they deserve. It works with all of my learning management systems, and I can navigate the web with ease.”
