Dragon NaturallySpeaking SDK Client Edition

Featured

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.
Achieve accuracy rates up to 99% Enable continuous dictation into a specified standard Window or any kind of window with more accurate results than the previous release. 

Create New User Profiles Developers can create new user profiles using the Dragon New User Wizard, or from within their applications with or without interaction with the end-user. Version 10 incorporates new acoustic models for better coverage of non-native and regional accents. Together with more powerful adaptation techniques, this will help end-users get better recognition accuracy from the very first use.

Vocabulary
The Dragon vocabulary consists of a language model and files containing the words users can say. Developers can create custom vocabularies tailored for any dictation domain.

Dictation
Developers can leverage the full feature set of the award-winning Dragon NaturallySpeaking, including free text dictation of up to 160 words per minute virtually anywhere you can type; easy correction by voice for complete hands-free operation; and dictation playback for fast editing.

Voice commands Developers can code their applications to respond appropriately when a specified sequence or pattern of words is recognized as a command.

Text to speech Applications can output text in the form of speech by using a voice-text object and the included text-to-speech engine.

Integrate Transcriptions from Audio Files Applications developers can transcribe audio files into application windows or transcribe audio files into text and document files.
