Product Description
Have you ever wanted to rig a microphone to your computer, throw away your keyboard, and dictate everything instead of having to type it out? Dragon NaturallySpeaking enables you to do just that, but turning it from a technological miracle into a working tool takes a little practice. Dragon NaturallySpeaking For Dummies targets new users who are impressed by its capabilities but want to optimize its features. The book is organized thematically and addresses the following topics: - Installing and launching NaturallySpeaking
- Training yourself (and others!) on basic editing, formatting, and dictation features
- Proofreading and correcting text transcribed from your voice
- Using NaturallySpeaking to interface with other applications (like Web browsers or word processors)
- Dictating e-mails, memos, and calendar appointments remotely
- Customizing NaturallySpeaking to adapt to your way of speaking and to recognize more words in your vocabulary

 Out of date December 21, 2008
I have 2 major problems. First is that the book is based on a version several years old, and not relevant to the new program I was ordering. The second problem is that I immediately asked for a refund, got the OK but have not received my credit after about 4 weeks. NOT like Amazon at all.

This software is highly recommended by one of the leading Rehab Centers. My daughter, who is paralyzed from the neck down, has used it,with the proper equipment, to send E-Mail messages and to make telephone calls.

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.

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.

This book used to be useful but is now eight years out of date.
To learn how to use the latest version of Dragon, check out the Dragon NaturallySpeaking 9 "Video Guide" and "QuickStart." They are CD-ROMs that play on your computer. I am the author of both of these titles. They are available on Amazon:
