Dragon NaturallySpeaking 10 Preferred gives small business and advanced PC users the power to create documents, reports and e-mails three times faster than most people type -- with up to 99% accuracy. Surf the Web by voice or dictate and edit in Microsoft Word and Excel, Corel WordPerfect, and most other Windows-based applications. New Dragon Voice Shortcuts collapse common tasks into simple voice commands. Or create custom commands to insert blocks of texts or bitmaps—such as your name, title, and signature—with a single voice command. Format and delete text faster than ever with Quick Voice Formatting™. You can even dictate into a handheld device when you’re away from your PC, or use a Bluetooth microphone. Now with support for Windows Vista 64-Bit systems. A high-quality headset is included.

• 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 e-mails about three times faster with Dragon NaturallySpeaking. Dragon NaturallySpeaking 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 like Microsoft Word, Microsoft Outlook Express, Microsoft Internet Explorer, and AOL.
• SEARCH THE WEB AND YOUR COMPUTER WITH DRAGON VOICE SHORTCUTS FOR WEB SEARCH
  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.” Search the Web or your computer has never been faster – or easier.
