IGNITE PRODUCTIVITY WITH FAST, ACCURATE DICTATION

  • Dictate naturally to create documents, spreadsheets,
    presentations, email and more — three times faster than typing — with
    up to 99% recognition accuracy.
  • Import and share custom word lists with unique names,
    acronyms and terminology tailored to your business or industry.
    Intelligent reminders prompt you to initiate analysis of documents and
    emails so Dragon speech recognition adapts to the words and phrases you are likely to use.

    too. Natural-sounding Text-to-Speech reads editable text—with
    fast-forward, rewind and speed and volume control—for easy proofing and
    multi-tasking. Dragon can even adapt its format rules by detecting your
    format corrections – abbreviations, numbers, and more — so your
    dictated text looks the way you want it to every time.
  • With a next-generation speech engine leveraging Deep Learning technology, Dragon adapts to your voice or environmental variations — even while you’re dictating.
