Worst installation ever

I bought this software to use for dictating research notes and transcribing them. I have had the worst experience installing this very expensive technology onto my laptop, with repeated error messages about my sound card, and nowhere to turn for technical support. I would definitely not recommend this product, and hope I can get a full refund. It has been a very disappointing experience.

Good Alternative

I bought this software not knowing what to expect. I read a lot of online reviews of the software and good thing I did not listen to most of them. Most people stated that the hand held recorder did not work, but after putting everything aside and reading the literature, I got it to work perfectly. The disk is so small that I thought it wouldn't fit into my disk drive, but it did! Some of the words that I say, it doesn't understand, but if I keep my head level and speak clearly it works fine. It doesn't want me to raise my head or lower my head, I guess it sounds like mumbling. Overall, I would recommend this software. I noticed also, that a lot of people don't know the difference between the professional and the prefered. The professional has all three versions, legal, medical and something else that escapes me right now. I purchased the prefered and I am satisfied with my purchase.

STUDENT PRODUCT ALL THE WAY!!!!!!!!

I bought this product as a student who needed to EXCEL in school! This product helped me like no other! It is amazing! I have a small problem with the recorder being slightly below what I wanted but the product proved it's worth OVER AND OVER AGAIN! I was able to record lectures and have my computer do all the translation! What an amazing product! It helped me in ways that I cannot explain! I looked on Scansoft's website WWW.SCANSOFT.COM and upgrade to a compatible recorder that was much higher quality. This product is defintely worth the $200 I spent on it. The recorder is great for the first couple classes! It got me thru some serious lectures that I was able to download to my Mp3 and listen to while I worked out! Saves me more time than any other software program out there! Yeah, there is gliches in the verbage, but if you listen to you class AT ALL - you will be impressed with the mobility, the ease and the free use of this product! Highly recommend for STUDENTS in need of some extra time!
