    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.

    SDL Trados Studio is extremely well suited for expert CAT tool users. More novice users will have trouble getting up to speed. I have an office full of employees that constantly ask questions on how to do specific tasks, mainly because the task sequence is not obvious and is only uncovered by rote repetition of the same things. If you learn and apply the same techniques repeatedly, it becomes easier, but it seems the software was designed by software people, sometimes with little thought to the end users who have to figure it out. I don't know that professional training should be so necessary.

    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.

    • Extracting sentences from Word, PowerPoint, and PDF.
    • Updating the source document when the client sends an updated source file.
    • Comparing sentence by sentence old set of source/target translations made outside of SDL Trados.
    • Maintaining a user community base to broadcast knowledge and issues.
    • Having an aggressive product update frequency.

    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.

    • I would like it to be faster. When I create a new project, even if it is short, it takes a couple of minutes until I can start using the file.
    • I would like it to support more than 5 languages as, for example, I work with 7 different language pairs.
    • It does not always accept the files after they were converted with OCR. It would be great if I could use Trados for those files as well.

    • 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.

    Again, the list of functions is impressive but the way it is organized (not process-driven) and the fact that complex tasks should be close to basic tasks make the product suitable to hardcore users that have a lot of time to research the manuals and blogs. By the way, Nora Diaz is one of the most respectable users of this product. Her videos help a lot!

    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.

    Support has been fast, precise and thorough. There is support on the web, by chat, by email, from the communities, from the experts, on the product Help section, on YouTube, and other social media. There is also a paid support for companies. This area is where the company stands out. I was not able to evaluate the support in languages other than English.

    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.

    I tried using memoQ to get used to server-based localization tools, but experienced critical issues such as translation data not being updated on the server so stopped using it before I get used to it, unfortunately. It must be updated and improved by now, so I might try using it again in the near future.

    • As we have the license we can accept and take on our clients' requests without problem.
    • Integration with other tools such as Xbench makes it very easy to apply our QA procedures.
    • It is less efficient compared to our main CAT tool thus sometimes it can get time-consuming.
