What's New in v12

Interactive Tutorial

Using Gmail & Hotmail

Menu Options

• Dragon 12 menu options make it easy to find detailed information when you need it. From the DragonBar’s Help menu to the Sidebar, "Give me help" gets you help anytime. 

Read That

• Review your words by listening to a new, natural text to speech voice from Nuance in Dragon 12. Text to speech capabilities within Dragon deliver a synthesized voice that can read out loud text you designate – learn how. 

Smart Format Rules

• Dragon 12’s new Smart Format Rules allow Dragon to adapt by detecting your format corrections – abbreviations, numbers, and more — so your dictated text looks the way you want it to every time. Learn how.

Transcribe Your Recording

Dictation & Editing

Basic Editing

• Dragon 12 delivers up to a 20% improvement in out-of-box accuracy compared to Dragon 11. This video highlights how to use your voice to navigate within a document and edit or format the contents. Learn how.

Correction & Editing

• Dragon 12 includes more choices to make it quicker and easier to make a change. The Correction Menu suggests more alternate recognitions by default and when you do need to make a correction, Dragon learns, making it more accurate the more that you use it.

General Dictation

• Dragon quickly processes the recognition of speech in the background with a discreet indicator that recognition is in progress. This encourages continuous speech which enables Dragon to improve accuracy based on the context of each utterance. This video provides tips and best practices for general dictation.

Posting to Facebook and Twitter

• Dragon’s time-saving voice commands consolidate multiple mouse clicks and keystrokes into a direct voice command. With version 12, you can quickly and easily post to Facebook or Twitter at any time – no matter what application is currently active on the screen.  

Searching the Web

• Dragon makes it easy to surf the Web hands-free by delivering the ability to click links by voice, dictate web addresses, scroll pages and more. You can even navigate radio buttons and drop-down menus by voice.

Adding a Source to an Existing Profile

Dragon Apps

• Dragon Remote Microphone
  

Why use a headset? You can create documents and email -- and even control your entire computer -- using your iPhone or iPod touch with Dragon. This video illustrates how to set up and use the free Dragon Remote Microphone application (available in the Apple app store) to convert your iPhone, iPad or iPod touch (4th gen) and Android device into a wireless microphone for use with Dragon NaturallySpeaking (available only for Dragon 12 Home and higher editions of Dragon). Learn more about the Dragon Remote Mic app.

• Dragon Recorder App

 The Dragon Recorder app (available in the Apple app store) allows Dragon customers to dictate text anytime, anywhere, capturing high-quality audio files using their existing iPhone, iPad or iPod touch (4th gen). Users can play back, fast forward and rewind the recording as necessary. The Dragon Recorder app then wirelessly transfers the audio files from the mobile device to the user’s PC or Mac and delivers an accurate written transcript of the entire recording. While the Dragon Recorder app introduces more customers to the freedom and flexibility of remote dictation, customers requiring advanced recording functionality can continue to rely on Dragon’s ability to transcribe the audio files of the industry’s leading digital voice recorders.
