Turn Talk into Text
Say words and watch them appear on your computer screen in Word, Excel, PowerPoint, Outlook, and more-three times faster than typing-with up to 99% recognition accuracy right out of the box.

Capture Your Creativity
Don't let typing slow you down; transform ideas into text at the speed of thought. Play back what you've written for easy proofing.

Use Virtually Any Windows Application
Create reports, spreadsheets or presentations; send and manage email; schedule meetings; surf the Web; update your Facebook status; or download your favorite music -all by voice.

Multi-task Like Never Before
Tell your PC what to do, like "Send email to Jon Smith and Raphael Sanchez" or "Search the Web for Internet marketing companies in Boston, Massachusetts" to work faster and smarter. Complete multiple steps with a single command.

Work Your Way
Personalize Dragon with custom word lists and voice commands that reflect the kind of work you do. Set formatting preferences, too.

Be Productive on the Go
Use a Nuance-approved digital voice recorder from anywhere, at anytime and Dragon will automatically transcribe the audio files when you return to your PC. Wireless microphone support delivers even more convenience.
