This book was written to help the average user with techniques, hints, etc, for learning to use the Dragon.However, it was written, in 1999, for Dragon NaturallySpeaking version 4!The current version is Dragon NaturallySpeaking 8.0, which is quite advanced.There have been so many improvements in Dragon Naturally Speaking, since the book was written, that much of the information has become quite dated, and much-needed newer information is, of course, not included.I bought this book unknowingly, when I was using version 7.0, and it did not address my needs.Until they update this book, or write a new one, I would suggest buying a different book. Spend your $20 on something that will be useful!
This book is seven years old. It was written for version 4.0. We are now up to 9.0.Avoid it.
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.
This book refers to version 4 of the Dragon Naturally Speaking program. The current version is number 9, and is very significantly different from version 4. I don't know why this book is being offered for sale. Do not buy it.
If you have purchased Dragon 10 this book is of little or no help. It was written for Version 4.
The book is 11 years old, and written for Dragon Naturally Speaking version 4.The current of Dragon Naturally Speaking is version 10.1.There are enormous differences between the 11 year old version and the current one. Very significant improvements in the software.The book is useless; obsolete beyond belief.
Great book if you have the very old version 4. Dragon naturally Speaking is up to version 9.5 and has changed drastically since this book was printed.
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.
