Dragon NaturallySpeaking is the world’s first continuous speech recognition application allowing you to dictate into almost every Windows-based application while speaking 160 words per minute while delivering 99% accuracy!

Dragon NaturallySpeaking was originally created as an assistive technology resource for those with various disabilities, giving individuals the ability to operate and control a computer all by voice. It then developed into the world’s most powerful, accurate and easy to use speech recognition software on the market.

There are several methods of dictating to your computer. The most common method is dictating directly into your PC through a headset microphone connected into your PC’s soundcard or through a USB connection. However, Dragon NaturallySpeaking also offers the ability to be completely mobile. It give users the ability to dictate into handheld recording devices such as a digital voice recorders*, Pocket PCs or PDAs, then synchronize that device to your PC, then have Dragon NaturallySpeaking transcribe that voice file into a text document. A Tablet PC* is the preferred method for busy corporate professionals.
