Will Preferred Suffice?
The requirements of your end users and plans for distribution and maintenance or access are key considerations in determining the copy of software required to meet purpose.
- With Preferred, Roaming User Profiles are NOT available. Should you wish users to have access to their voice profile from a range of PCs on a network, the Professional version is required.
- Application Support: for those dictating into standard office application, the preferred copy is adequate. If you intend to use Speech Recognition with bespoke packages or to customise the software permitting navigation and dictation into in house databases, templates or clinical reporting systems, the Professional version may be required.
- Preferred does NOT permit the import ad export of macros and vocabulary – you cannot easily distribute amongst multiple users. For this, Professional is needed.
- Preferred will NOT permit a user to save audio with dictated file – for review or reference (which in turn this element allows for third party correction). Professional must be purchased if this working method is required.
- Preferred will NOT manage the automatic backing up of voice files - Professional is required
- Preferred is NOT the appropriate choice for users requiring a 'Hands-Free' speech recognition system - only a limited number of speech control is available with Preferred and cannot be expanded upon - Professional is required.
If Preferred does not meet your requirement, please refer to our Dragon NaturallySpeaking Professional Multi User Licence Page
