This would be a news item if it were really news. Breaking news is like when a huge wave comes in and hits the shore and gets your attention. But sometimes things take place slowly and gradually like the high tide MOVING in and it are not considered breaking news. It is just a slow evolutionary process that takes time.

I'm talking about the product named “Dragon naturally speaking. “ This product has been around for years and keeps getting better and better. Unfortunately the marketing efforts of the company were mediocre. For such a GREAT product it was under advertised and overpriced.

But this review is not about the product itself. This review is about a review. Just a couple of days ago somebody in Yahoo Tech did a piece about the new Dragon naturally speaking anywhere application for Android and Apple. Android DEVICES up to now have not had much speech recognition other than Google talk.

Let me make it clear. The Apple product and the Google product are nothing likely Dragon Naturally Speaking product. I've use the Dragon for years and am very impressed about its sped and see and ease-of-use. But it does take a little bit of practice. You can't yell and you can't rush. Even so you can dictate faster than what most people can type. Typically I get about 90 words per minute using the Dragon.

The new product announced this week allows you to have the full features of Dragon on your mobile device or tablet. This means you could dictate a LETTER or even do a chapter for your new book. The accuracy rate now is much higher than ever and it gets beyond 99%. Yes. you have to practice.

As I said, this is not really a news item. Rather it is a review of review. The link below gives you the link that I found on Yahoo. At first it sounds like it's a press release from the company, but it is not. It is an honest and accurate review of what the Dragon can do for you. And I agree with everything he says. Including the part about the price. It is far far overpriced for the current market. They want you to buy it on a subscription. Who wants to subscribe to an application? Especially when similar applications are free, although not near as good.

If the company could just get over the marketing and pricing issues, the Dragon would rapidly overtake the mobile market and become the de facto standard for entering text into any mobile application. Unfortunately with their current pricing policy it's not likely to happen.

Anyway, here is the link to the article.

My question is: What could they do to lower the price?
Hi, newbie here! We do have Android and OS here. That's good! An app that I could relate to my daughters. Full features looks cool and amazing. Thanks for sharing the good news.
