Create Email, Documents and Spreadsheets--Even When You're on the GoAccurate speech recognition for PC applications
Dragon NaturallySpeaking 10 Preferred Mobile offers unprecedented speech recognition with unrivaled accuracy levels: up to 20% fewer speech recognition errors out of the box than Version 9, and about half the amount of errors that the product delivered just five years ago. Users gain the added benefit of avoiding spelling errors and typing mistakes. In fact, the product actually learns from corrections over time. Works with the applications users already have
Dictate directly into Microsoft Word and Microsoft Outlook Express and most other Microsoft Office applications running on Microsoft Windows XP, Windows 2000, and Windows Vista. Dragon also supports popular programs such as Corel WordPerfect, Microsoft Internet Explorer, Mozilla Firefox, and AOL. Navigate the desktop by voice: launch or switch applications, save or print documents, and more--even control menus and dialog boxes. Create and edit documents and spreadsheets by voice
Users can easily create documents and spreadsheets, or edit existing ones, simply by speaking. Add custom words, such as proper names, to the system's vocabulary or create commands, such as "insert signature," so that pre-set text and images will automatically appear in email and documents. Plus, Dragon enables easy correction and proofing: with the "play back" feature, users can listen to their dictation while Dragon highlights the corresponding text on the screen for easy proofreading. Quick Voice Formatting commands allow users to issue a single voice command, such as "Bold Quick Voice Formatting," to make formatting and deleting text faster than ever. In addition, the extensive set of Natural Language Commands mean users don't have to memorize complex instructions. In Microsoft Word, for example, a user can say, "make that bigger," and the font size increases instantly. Dragon 10 introduces new graphical icons to enhance the DragonBar user interface, making the product even easier to use! Send email, Instant Messages and Surf the Web--All by Voice
Users can browse the Internet with ease: search the Web, access information and navigate Web pages, simply by speaking URLs and links. Dragon Voice Shortcuts to Perform Tasks Faster Than Ever
Dragon Voice Shortcuts for Web Search make searching the Web faster and easier. A user says a command containing his desired search words, such as "Search the Web for financial management resources," or "Search maps for Italian restaurants in Burlington, Massachusetts," and Dragon 10 will use the default search engine and Web browser to enter his dictated term(s) in the search field and return the results. A user may also search specific sites or search the Web for a specific type of information using commands such as "Search Wikipedia for George Washington Carver," or "Search eBay for Bluetooth headsets." Sites supported by Dragon Voice Shortcuts include Google, Yahoo, eBay, Wikipedia, YouTube and more. Dragon Voice Shortcuts for Desktop Search introduce commands to search the computer as directly as the Web, by dictating the word(s) to find documents, emails and Web browsing history. For example, a user can say, "Search computer for launch plans," and Dragon will complete the search using Google Desktop or Windows Vista desktop search. In addition, commands such as, "Find an email about the Robinson report" directly open the top email containing the dictated keywords. Searching the computer has never been faster--or easier. Dictate into a handheld recorder for later transcription

Dragon NaturallySpeaking 10 Preferred Mobile Reviews
I wish that I could buy plantronics Bluetooth earpiece separately so that I would have a spare, I never thought Bluetooth would work so well after all the problems I had with various Bluetooth devices in version 9. I finally received by new Dragon 10 and the Bluetooth bundled ear piece. I have to admit I've only had this for a few days so I have not experienced the failure of the USB inset the previous viewer has, perhaps I will over time. However, it was well worth the wait. It took a long time as nuance did not send me any kind of tracking number so I missed the shipment. Even more impressive, instead of running this on a quad core processor like I did on version 9 I am running this on an Acer netbook with the Atom processor and it works flawlessly, I am very satisfied so far. However, I was thrilled to see how well Bluetooth worked since I was never able to get it to work very well with version 9.
Of course, it not 100% accurate in recognizing words but does a much better job than I ever expected. It installed without problems in a Vista environment and after "training" the software by speaking, I was off and running. I have to say that, of all the computer applications I've used over the years, this is the most amazing. It's hard to believe that, even when I speak fast, it keeps up.
In my case my computer then simply hung up, and could not be started up again without a complete reboot. Lesson: I should have paid attention to earlier negative Amazon reviews. When Dragon is satisfied with your reading, it will present you with a dialogue box telling you to wait while your user files are being adjusted for your reading. You would probably be encouraged to note that the accuracy level of the new Calisto is rated very high.
At the same time I was tempted into purchasing the alleged integrated Calisto Bluetooth microphone, attracted by the special price, the convenience of a wireless headset, and the promise of increased accuracy. No reply over the last two days, and similarly no reply yet to an email I sent them yesterday informing them of the Bluetooth insert failure. I am happy to report that so far, after a couple of days trial, this upgrade seems to have been well worth it in terms of increased accuracy. You are then required to read a passage from a selected text. However, I have run into two problems, either of which makes the Calisto currently useless. But if they had waited to get the bugs out first, they might well have something really to get excited about. I have just upgraded from Dragon Naturally Speaking 9 to 10. (I trusted Nuance on the basis of good experience with earlier versions).
I started dictating this review with DNS 10, but, sadly it first began reverting to a habit Id seen before with DNS 9, that is, starting up a new sentence or phase one letter too early. Its function is only restored after completely rebooting the computer. Once the Plantronics Calisto is activated, Dragon Naturally Speaking demands that you " prepare this user for dictation".
The second problem is far more serious. Maybe wait six months, a year. Two different Dragon phone techs attempted to solve the problem unavailingly, the second one promising I would get a call back from a top expert capable of solving the problem.
Finally, it gave up altogether and refused to accept any dictation from my old and otherwise commendable Plantronic DSP 400 mic. So I can hardly recommend purchase of any of this Nuance equipment right now unless you're willing to pay good money for what amounts to a rather unpromising Beta version.
In the first place, the Bluetooth insert device for the USB port cuts out after an hour or two of usage. (BUT SEE LATER).
