Verdict

If you need efficient speech-to-text software, Dragon Naturally Speaking 8 Preferred is definitely worth considering. But if you already have a portable device that can record voice, such as a handheld, you may not need this Mobile bundle... Read Full Review.

Pros

  • Very good speech recognition after initial training
  • Fast conversion of speech to text
