Dragon NaturallySpeaking Professional v5.0 for Voice Recognition

INCREASE YOUR PRODUCTIVITY

Dragon NaturallySpeaking Professional will help you save time and increase productivity by enabling you to dictate naturally into your computer at up to 160 words per minute instead of keyboarding and fumbling with a mouse. Your dictation is immediately and accurately transcribed on the screen and in your document. You can use custom macro commands to insert boilerplate text, launch applications, fill out forms, and perform other complex tasks with a spoken word or phrase. You produce more work with less overhead, overtime, and stress.

Dragon NaturallySpeaking Professional is extraordinarily accurate. New BestMatchTM III and BestMatch Plus technologies improve recognition accuracy-already the best in the industry, according to over 100 major reviews worldwide. It comes with a total vocabulary of 250,000 terms (160,000 active). The Vocabulary BuilderTM feature analyzes your documents automatically to find and add new words, specialized terms, acronyms, and proper names. You can add new terms at any time, and even create multiple, new vocabularies for different subjects or interests.

Dragon NaturallySpeaking Professional is easy to integrate into your established routine. You can dictate into virtually any Windows® program. New wizards guide you through a fast training process in less than five minutes, so you can begin generating documents in a flash.

Dragon NaturallySpeaking Professional includes many other advanced features that can save time and effort. Dictation Playback enables you to hear what you said in your own voice to facilitate editing. Text-to-Speech reads e-mail messages and other documents aloud. NaturalWeb™ lets you browse the Web by speaking URLs and links, and dictate into online forms and fields.
