Is Dragon NaturallySpeaking 12 really more accurate than Dragon NaturallySpeaking 11?

August 3, 2012 - 2 Comments

Dragon Naturally Speaking premium 12 just came out today, and the official nuance website says the updated speech recognition software is more accurate, straight out-of-the-box compared to Dragon 11. (Apparently, it’s up to a 20% more accurate than Dragon Naturally Speaking 11.) Maybe, but I’m not so sure. After using Dragon Naturally Speaking (11.5) for […]


Dragon Naturally Speaking Home vs Professional 15 Review:

  • Nuance offers two versions of their voice software. Read this blog post comparing Dragon Professional vs Dragon Home 15.
  • UPDATE (Tue, Dec 10, 2019): By the way, I still use Dragon Professional 15 to blog and write things down – even though I type at 100+ WPM. The last post I dictated was this one about a free New Year’s Resolution writing activity.

This is my last post using Dragon Naturally Speaking 11.5 Premium. (I am compensated for this review. Click here for details.) For almost two years, I’ve been blogging by talking to my computer using my trustee Bluetooth Plantronics Calisto headset and Dragon Speak.

Where did July go? Future Shop is already running back-to-school specials and we’re not even into August yet. Sometimes the biggest challenge with integrating technology into the classroom isn’t a lack of interest, desire, or know-how, it’s a lack of resources. And the problem with resources is that they cost money. One of my side […]

Ah, summer vacation. I love having some time to play with new technology and think about new possibilities for the classroom next year. Lately, I’ve been working behind the scenes on my student blogging network and online literature circles. I’m hoping to open that up to more teachers next year, as well as offer social […]
