About Dragon
Dragon is a speech recognition software that converts spoken words into text. It allows users to create documents, control applications, and automate workflows by voice.
Dragon is a long-standing and powerful speech recognition software, now part of Microsoft's portfolio after its acquisition of Nuance. It enables professionals to create documents, emails, and reports simply by speaking, boasting speeds up to three times faster than typing with up to 99% accuracy. The software is available in various editions tailored to specific industries, including legal, law enforcement, and general business, each with specialized vocabularies. Deployment options are flexible, with locally installed versions like Dragon Professional v16 for Windows, and cloud-native solutions like Dragon Professional Anywhere. A mobile app, Dragon Anywhere, extends dictation capabilities to iOS and Android devices. While pricing is not publicly listed and requires sales contact, the platform offers extensive documentation and support resources. It's a robust tool for individuals and organizations looking to boost productivity and reduce transcription costs.
