    My job requires that I produce lengthy and detailed minutes of meetings and Nuance Dragon Speech Recognition is absolutely ideally suited for this purpose. Notably, meetings are recorded and it is extremely easy to playback the recording of meetings while dictating notes. This is a remarkable saving in time and effort in producing minutes that might otherwise take a few days. I cannot think of any scenario where it would be less appropriate to use Nuance Dragon Speech Recognition other than in a situation where it is not possible to dictate for whatever reason.

    Kira is a great due diligence tool and can be well utilised on both large and small transactions. It also has good application if you are looking to compare multiple documents against a model form document or market standard templates. Kira is less useful if you are looking to review emails (e.g. as part of a disclosure exercise); or if your review involves non-Latin based script languages.

    Pros
    Microsoft
    • The main advantage is that it calibrates itself around your tone and accent.
    • Integration with many apps and operative system is good.
    • Integrating custom words and acronyms is very easy, so, over time, recognition becomes very precise and customized.

    • UI/UX - tagging and naming feels much easier than you'd expect machine learning to feel
    • Accuracy - Kira's built-in models perform well out of the box
    • Assistance - Kira's support team gets back to me same day if I have a question

    Cons
    Microsoft
    • Word recognition can always improve.
    • Sometimes puts stray words or characters on the page if you forget to tell the microphone to go to sleep.
    • Adds non-spoken words for no reason if there is a delay in speaking.

    • Inability to relabel smart fields to suit the review process means it is hard to align it to particular projects (e.g. it would be useful to relabel the "Assignment" smart field as "Is the contract assignable?")
    • Not enough non-English smart fields.
    • Needs the ability to resell user-trained smart fields in a marketplace.
    • Output is not customizable enough.
    • Built-in analysis tools are useful but a little basic.

    • Nuance Dragon Speech Recognition is not up to par with any of the other AI voice recognition technologies currently available
    • The software is also very buggy and crashes frequently
    • Punctuation also seems like an afterthought for Nuance Dragon Speech Recognition software--requiring the user to speak out each comma, period, etc.

    Usability
    Microsoft
    Overall, its gives the functionality that I need in my role and can support with automating tasks. I mainly use it for autotext, to add blocks of text and it works universally across all applications. It saves time and works well in Windows 11. It works very well navigating the web.

    If our firm had more contracts in English, the usability of Kira would be rated higher. However, since we have to train clauses in Portuguese in order to use Kira, it makes its usability lower. We still are not able to fully use Kira for reading contracts in Portuguese. It takes a long time and many associate hours to make Kira usable in other languages.

    One of the worst companies in terms of customer service getting the download file because of a laptop upgrade took me months of work. No jokes.

    Customer Support is excellent. The online help portal is probably the best I have ever seen. Great videos with content easily found. The HelpLine is staffed by knowledgeable people. The videos have saved us providing a lot of in-house training, which we would struggle to resource. The account managers really know the product and their law firm clients and share best practices and trends.

    Other than the more recent speech recognition tools from Microsoft, Google, etc., I have always used Nuance Dragon Speech Recognition. I was introduced to AI technology on an appraisal assignment. During the engagement, I had an opportunity to learn about the technology, and when I researched speech recognition software, the best reviews were of Nuance Dragon Speech Recognition. I purchased Nuance Dragon Speech Recognition and have stayed with the product.

    Kira offers a lot more out of the box than other providers and is also more flexible around integrations. This, plus the clear pricing structure, is why we went for it instead of (or as well as) others. Diligen, RAVN, Leverton, Della, Seal not in list.
