Are there any good ones out there? I love their software, but their support is PISSING ME OFF.

I'm jumping hoops and circles just so I can get access to the app download but they still haven't given it to me. I've spoken to 3 departments already. Ugh.

update

More background: I'm a college student/blogger who always writes. I just need an accurate software that will transcribe speech to text. I haven't found a free version that is as good as dragon.

  • We will need much more information to give good recommendations here – asking for "a tool like X" is never giving enough details, even if linked. You should always list your requirements explicitly. Please see How to ask for an alternative to some software and the questions linked to it for details.

  • There is no good replacement (Microsoft speech recognition isn't as good yet though you may want to try), aside from Google speech recognition only available in Gdocs and a few restricted websites :( On OS X, you could use Apple speech recognition. On Linux, see unix.stackexchange.com/q/256138/16704

  • Interesting, thanks. It seems to be specialized for medical records though. Some discussion at knowbrainer.com/forums/forum/…

    Its fully commercial product but they have integrated with software's like EPIC so that healthcare professionals can record medical records. But it can be used as good outside Medical domain also.
