Up to 99% Accurate and Three Times Faster than Typing
Most people speak over 120 words per minute, but type less than 40 words a minute. That means you can create documents and emails about three times faster with Dragon NaturallySpeaking. Dragon never makes a spelling mistake, and it actually gets smarter the more you use it!

Easy to Use
Dragon NaturallySpeaking installs quickly and requires no special script reading. New on-screen help and tutorials will make you an expert user in no time.

Use with Many Windows Programs
Use your voice to dictate, edit and control applications such as Microsoft Word, Microsoft Outlook Express, Microsoft Internet Explorer, and AOL.

NEW Search the Web and Your Computer with Dragon Voice Shortcuts
Use Dragon Voice Shortcuts to quickly search for information on the Web or on your own computer. Need to find some information on the Web? Just say “Search the Web for global warming articles,” “Search Wikipedia for George Washington Carver,” or “Search eBay for Batman comic books.” Searching the Web or your computer has never been faster — or easier.

Bluetooth Support
Use Dragon NaturallySpeaking with Nuance-approved Bluetooth headsets.

Be Productive on the Go
Dictate into any Nuance-certified handheld device for automatic transcription when you synch with your PC.

Jenny P.
I am 10 times more productive because of the speed at which Dragon types!

Frank C.
I am able to do in 2 hours per week the same amount of work that used to take me 15-20 hours per week

Dwayne S.
It has been such a great help with typing, navigation of the Internet, writing e-mails to friends, and simply doing things on the computer that were too difficult to do in the past.

Eugenie B.
I use it for everything — e-mails to clients, expense reports, PowerPoint presentations, Excel spreadsheets, proposals, everything!

Anne N.
I use Dragon for email, articles, work, and personal correspondence. While I can, and do type, Dragon increases my productivity a thousand fold.

Stephen D.
It is a powerhouse program for individuals who need to communicate their thoughts to the computer quickly and effectively.

John B.
I have doubled my productivity and found that I can more creatively write my reports by talking rather than typing. Dragon Naturally Speaking has helped me grow my business well beyond my former limitations without adding any additional people or costs.

Jacquelyn R.
I am constantly looking for ways to work smarter. I love using voice recognition software and it works, even with my southern accent.

Tom A.
I am out of the office a lot and use my digital recorder to take notes and reminders of things that need to be taken care of. When I get back to the office I upload the digital recorder, and I am amazed at the accuracy of the transcription.

David C.
Before I had the Dragon system reports took more than three hours to type. With Dragon I've cut my time to 45 minutes to one hour.

S.S.
Dragon allows me to be as efficient as if I had a number of secretaries.

Patrick C.
My job required a large volume of reports to be generated daily and monthly. Having switched from hand writing and typing daily and monthly reports to using Dragon NaturallySpeaking I have reduced my report preparation time by several hours each week.

Jim H.
One of the best things about Dragon is that you can be dictating within a half-hour of installing the software and the accuracy factor is 99%. I've tried dictating to secretaries and don't get nearly that close in a lot more time.

Patrick C.
I acquired a Sony digital voice recorder so that I could record case notes while in the field. Linking the voice recorder to my notebook computer Dragon NaturallySpeaking Preferred transcribed the field notes into text that could be transmitted to my secretary.
