Speech-Enable Your Application

Dragon NaturallySpeaking 10 SDK Client (DSC) Edition includes everything needed to add cutting-edge speech recognition technology to any Windows-based application. The tools, libraries, and ActiveX components of the SDK make it possible to integrate the speech-recognition capabilities of Dragon NaturallySpeaking into any Windows application without using the Dragon NaturallySpeaking user interface.

Developers can quickly and easily create speech-aware applications “from scratch” or add speech recognition to existing applications. The Dragon NaturallySpeaking speech engine allows end-users to enter, edit and correct text by voice, as well as command and control the application by voice.
