    It requires Correct Pronunciation like you're talking to a computer. Dragon NaturallySpeaking allows you to Speak Naturally and still work.

    Braina is a virtual assistant and not a speech-to-text software

    Braina Pro can work out of the box for speech recognition unlike Dragon. Dictation to third party software and website works like a charm.

    This is the most complete voice control program out of what's listed here. Not only does it handle dictation very well, but also lets you control the browser fully - click links, scroll etc. Also has specialized commands for certain sites like Gmail and Reddit and allows for custom shortcuts!
