Product Details
Dragon NaturallySpeaking is the market leading Speech Recognition programme, with Version 10 the very latest release. Put simply, as you dictate, the words are transcribed in real time on screen. The technology may be used to speed up work creation (everyone speaks faster 
than they type), or as a preventative measure/solution to anyone with an assistive technology requirement such as sufferers of RSI (Repetitive Strain Injuries) or disabilities which hinder use of the computer.
Ideal for anyone wishing to avoid the tedium of typing, Speech Recognition acts as a third input device to replace or compliment use of the keyboard and mouse.
Using Dragon NaturallySpeaking, users are able to create documents and emails, fill out forms and streamline workflow tasks.

Key Improvements
Expanded language module and improved accuracy
Expanded language module and improved accuracy means users can expect to achieve 99% accuracy with Dragon Version 10
Immediate creation of a voice profile
Prior enrolment is no longer a necessity allowing immediate creation of a voice profile.
Increased application compatibility
Increased application compatibility means the user can dictate, access and control most Windows based applications. The creation of macros and commands also facilitates the navigation of non standard databases and forms. VoicePower can offer services and training on this advanced scripting element of Dragon.
Toolbar Indicator
A visible green or grey tool bar indicator helps in identifying those programmes already fully compatible with the software and that that may require adaptation i.e. those where the 'select and say' commands are fully supported.
Acoustic Adaptation
Dragon V10 performs continuous acoustic adaptation to ensure that even without a correction having been made, the software learns from and adapts with use.
Better adapted for enterprise wide deployment
Dragon Professional Version 10 is better equipped for enterprise wide deployments. For users operating on a network, roaming profiles may be established allowing them access their individual profiles from multiple locations. Version 10 Professional also supports Citrix thin client environments. Contact VoicePower for more detailed information regarding Citirx compatibility.

Dictation on the Move:
Used in conjunction with a digital voice recorder, Dragon NaturallySpeaking allows for the automatic transcription of files dictated on the move. Recordings made out on location or away from the office can be downloaded on return to the PC, imported into Dragon and instantly transcribed onto your computer screen. With this system – flexibility is the key advantage. See digital voice recorder here.
Dragon Version 10 supports WMA, DSS, MP3 and WAV file formats.

Third Party Correction:
Perhaps you do the dictation but would like someone else to do the checking and amending? Dragon Professional Version 10 allows for 3rd party correction; where the sound file and completed document are sent to a secretary or colleague to play back and correct as required. Any alterations made will update your voice profile, contributing to the increased accuracy of the system with use. Voice notations may also be left by the dictator (appearing as highlighted instructions to the 3rd party editor) and can then be accepted or rejected as required.
