what comes with dragon naturally speaking software

An annoying failure was when the tutorial asked us to say 'period' to end a sentence with the region set to UK, Dragon only accepts 'full stop', so you can say 'period' until you're hoarse without being able to finish the tutorial.

NaturallySpeaking is generally very good at recognising clearly and slowly dictated text on our test system, even with little training and when there was background noise like passing planes or someone coughing in the room. Using a laptop microphone has been hit-and-miss in the past, but results were excellent on our test Surface Pro 3, even when the Surface was on a lap rather than on a desk (putting the microphone quite some distance from your mouth). One of the big advances in NaturallySpeaking 13 is working with microphones built into laptops rather than making you put on a headset. Using your laptops's built-in microphone means you don't need an awkward headset. Saving your profile takes a surprisingly long 45 seconds, whereupon the Dragon bar appears at the top of your screen with the Learning Center help system open on top of all your other windows, and a tutorial automatically opens to show you the basics (and sneak a little more training past you). On launching the software you still have to pick your audio device (microphone, audio recording or even a phone) and read a few paragraphs of text that Dragon uses to check the microphone setup and background noise levels, teach you how to speak to the software and start training itself on your particular voice. If you click the icon Dragon leaves on your desktop without asking, you get a list of tips and update suggestions in the Software Manager.

When the software is finally installed, you have to activate it - even if you entered your licence key during installation. While the software installs, tips are displayed on-screen while you deal with a registration dialog. The range of English accents and dialects is excellent, but the NaturallySpeaking installer is old-school.
