Sir,

Have you had the opportunity to use or test the Panasonic RR-US500 unit. I have two units within less than a year, and this is all I can say about it: The controls are so poorly designed that it's highly susceptible to accidental recording, pause, playback, and erasure... transfer of files from the unit to a computer is next to impossible... when the second unit was acquired and its software updated via Panasonic's online service, it was downgraded [?] from version 1.06, to 1.05A... and the coup de grace: Very poor customer support/service.

Fortunately I have a back-up, an Olympus WS-100. No software to install... at half the price of that Panasonic, but more than twice in performance.

Could you suggest a make and model that can at least meet Panasonic's promise of text-to-speech, speech-to-text, and translation promises?

Also, could you suggest a venue where I can air about Panasonic's service and product to the widest possible readership to alert them.

Thank you.

Perhaps I missed it -- where is the link to buy this recorder bundled with the software mentioned? I found the recorder on Amazon, but I didn't see that NaturallySpeaking came bundled with it -- it didn't appear to be. thanks.

I am very disappointed with the Dragon Naturally Speaking software. It did not transcribed my dictations accurately. If only the performance was delivered like it was promised. All i got was, "she she she..the the." I do not recommend this product. Does anyone know whether we can return it to the manufacturer with a refund?

You maybe need to train it longer. Doc Soft speech-to-text has default setting on training so you don't need to train as much. The program is meant for large organizations though.
