Up to 99% accuracy from the start and it will improve by adapting to your voice as you use it.

Continued usage will allow Dragon to adapt to your voice and drive accuracy to the highest levels. You can also add specific words to Dragon’s vocabulary.

That depends on the version you currently have. Upgrade pricing is available from our e-commerce store for Dragon Professional Individual and Dragon Legal Individual. For Professional Group products, purchasing maintenance and support entitles the user to free upgrades.

For Dragon desktop products, just click on the install link in your order confirmation email following purchase. You will then be guided through the installation process. For Dragon Anywhere, via subscription through the ecommerce store or via the iOS or Google Play Store. For Professional Group products via a special volume licensing email with download instructions via network.nuance.com.

While it can vary, most people learn the mechanics of dictating and using basic functionality of Dragon within 2 weeks.

Dragon desktop software licences are per user, not per machine. A licensed speaker is permitted to create and use multiple voice profiles, and these voice profiles can be stored on one or more computers. A separate licence, however, must be purchased for each additional speaker whose voice profile(s) are being used by the software.

Most versions of Dragon are available in English, French, Italian, German, Spanish and Dutch.

You can purchase and then overload multiple languages on one PC, but the base Dragon must be the same version, so currently all would need to be version 15. You cannot overload v14 with v15. This means if you need French, German and English, you would purchase French and German. English is supplied free with all other versions of the Professional product. You need to create a profile for each language.

Dragon is speech recognition technology enabled by language and acoustic models to recognise the human voice. Recent versions of Dragon take advantage of advances in Deep Learning to maximize accuracy.

Yes, the Dragon Professional Individual and Dragon Legal Individual editions of the product can transcribe an audio file that contains one speaker.

Dragon Professional Individual and Dragon Legal Individual will transcribe an audio file that has been created in MP3, WAV, WMA, DS2 or DSS format, by a Dragon voice profile that has already been trained by a user. These products will not transcribe other audio formats, or for users that have not trained an audio profile, nor will it cater for multiple voices.

So, unfortunately we don't currently have the technology to transcribe meetings directly.

http://nuance.custhelp.com/app/answers/detail/a_id/4423.

However, you can record the meeting, and then listen back to this sentence by sentence. Then restate what you have heard into a new document. This enables you to format the resulting document as you re-speak the audio.

Dragon Home, Dragon Professional Individual and Dragon Legal Individual are designed for use on Windows machines. Dragon Anywhere is the product designed for mobile environments based on iOS or Android and can be synced for use with Dragon Professional Individual and Dragon Legal Individual.

Download versions are available for purchase.

Yes, but you need to install the Dragon Chrome extension for your Chrome browser to do so.

Dragon will work in virtually any Windows based application where you can position a cursor and type as you would with your keyboard. Some applications however, (like Microsoft Office) offer “full text control” allowing for higher levels of formatting features. Full text control is denoted by a green circle in the Dragon bar.

Yes, it can.
