The product is called Dragon NaturallySpeaking Standard 8, but there's nothing "standard" about it. Dragon NaturallySpeaking lets you accurately create documents, e-mail, and instant messages in less than one third the time it takes to type them simply by speaking into a microphone. And, it's fun to use. Typing is tedious and boring. It's time consuming, and can often lead to painful injuries like Carpal Tunnel Syndrome. Now there's a better way to work. An average person typing at 40 words per minute produces a 3-page, 900-word document in approximately 22 minutes. That same person using Dragon NaturallySpeaking can dictate 140-160 words per minute, producing the same 3-page, 900- word document in just 6 minutes. That's over three times faster than typing. Dragon NaturallySpeaking is accurate too. Up to 99% accurate. That's more accurate than most skilled typists. Think of the time you'll save. Letters, reports, e-mail, instant messages, and more - all created quickly and accurately simply by speaking. And that's just the beginning. Dragon NaturallySpeaking Standard 8 supports all your favorite Windows-based applications and offers many more time-saving features. There has never been a better time than now to buy Dragon NaturallySpeaking! Hundreds of thousands of users have already benefited from Dragon NaturallySpeaking. Now it's your turn.
