Dragon Professional Likes & Dislikes

Like

Once the initial tutorials have been actioned the product works very well and works offline too.

Like

Powerful tool for my productivity, more secure than cloud based approaches. Much more secure as processing is done on machine.

Like

Wenn du sprichst, schreib es so.

Dislike

It will occasional freeze or crash causing loss of the software. The tutorials do take time which can make you feel is it worth it. licensing doesnt allow swapping between devices.

Dislike

Steep learning curve, user interface is pretty dated. mastering it can be frustrating sometimes

Dislike

Ich habe viel versuch ein E-Mail-Kontakt zum support zu finden, aber es gibt nicht.
