    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.

    Sherpany helps us to retrieve information from previous meetings quickly. Participants for conferences can be contacted and their records can be viewed every time, wherever, and whether they are provided by the data they collect.

    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.

    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.

    • Changes with new versions should be well communicated in advance and consider in more detail the impact on existing boardrooms
    • Too expensive
    • Generally, more possibilities for customizing e.g. it should be possible to define security levels for access individually (why do I have to retype my email every time I synchronize?) or it should be up to the users whether and how they want to use labels (why can I only have one label per document?)

    • 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.

    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.

    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.

    Much easier to annotate documents, better User Interface which makes it very easy to access material discussed in earlier Meetings; also very easy to navigate between different topics on the agenda.

    • The only negative thing I can see is that members can be victims of technostress and sometimes forget their password, how to find a document in a session. My role is to help them, reassure them and find a solution with them
    • The positive is that all our members are often members of several committees at once and instead of receiving folders with a ton of documents, which are often cumbersome and heavy, everything is on the IPads. They can also annotate their documents as they want.
