User reviews

If Dragon had comparable competition, I'd buy it TODAY. Dragon's functioning has become terrible, very "buggy" in all browsers, and doesn't work with Firefox at all (the extension won't even install). As long as they have been at it, surely they could do better.

WE BOTH KNOW IT'S A BAD THING. JUST REMOVE IT AND GIVE ME A REFUND.

Nuance has really fallen behind. Dragon works poorly with O365, and the Extensions for Word, Edge etc. are so dated I have to remove them to let the PC function normally. I will discontinue Dragon at the next release. What a waste of potential.
