Most popular feedback for IBM Watson Speech to Text (STT)

This is one of the better speech to text programs out there, good word recognition. It has nice features like real time mode, custom models, keywords spotting. It just supports 11 languages, so I think it can be improve by opening new languages to be translated.

Most popular feedback for Dragon Professional Individual

This Dragon Professional software was purchased for preparation of teaching notes when my typing skills were seriously compromised by a mini-stroke. Setup and initial efforts to use the software were relatively easy. And the results (production) relatively rewarding. My typing skills have since been restored to normal. However, I still enjoy using Dragon. It trains itself quickly to the user's voice and offers many advanced user options. A quality microphone is a must. I use a good Yamaha stereo headset with a boom mike. Ham radio headsets are another option. This program is amazingly fast in converting your speech to text. Be aware that the programming engine which made Dragon famous was written for the Intel-PC Windows platform. The program engine which runs on Macintosh computers is not the same software, having been adapted from a different source. I'm not sophisticated enough to know the differences. But I am told that the Mac adaption performance is not up to par with the PC Windows programming. FYI, investigate before purchasing.

Dragon Professional Individual reviews

This software enables me to run my business efficiently and quickly. The dictation is highly accurate. Editing is easy. I have used this software for decades and it has developed into a useful and necessary tool.

- Ruth H.

Makes reports a breeze. Also, because you are talking out loud, you hear your ideas and they resonate better. You notice your mistakes more readily. You also do not miss out on getting some of your perfect thoughts to paper. You know, those GOLDEN thoughts that you have while you are busy typing and finishing out the last thought that you are still typing. Don't lose the golden thoughts wasting time typing, get them into the document fast!

- Phil M.

I liked using it but after only 1 year I was expected to pay 3 times the price I originally paid for an "upgrade". I could no longer use it because it was incompatible with the new version of Windows.
