Putting words to work
Dragon Professional Anywhere empowers busy professionals—including remote workers—to create more detailed, accurate documentation quickly and easily using just their voice. Save time and money with cloud‑hosted speech recognition designed for the enterprise and public sectors. When words mean business—make them count.
Achieve higher‑quality documentation and greater flexibility
Mission critical documentation should be dictated by knowledge workers and field professionals, not technology limitations. Conversational AI empowers private and public sector professionals to document more naturally.
Enables professionals to quickly and easily document the details of client meetings using speech recognition that is 3x faster than typing and up to 99% accurate. Most people speak at over 120 words per minute but type at less than 40 words per minute.
Speak freely and as much as you like with no per-user limits. Business professionals can stay productive anywhere and focus on their clients and business rather than the technology.
Achieve up to 99% accuracy with no voice profile training required, and a single cloud‑based profile that is auto‑established on first use. Manual activities such as accent adjustments and microphone calibration, are now automatic, providing greater accuracy, a lower word error rate and an optimal user experience from the start.
No complex configurations, simple installation with automatic updates mean less work for your IT staff, less hassle for your employees, and users can be up and running within minutes. Once deployed on the server‑side, new client licences can be deployed at scale and with ease.
Dragon Professional Anywhere supports HIPAA requirements for security and confidentiality in public sector settings such as social services by employing secure encryption methods throughout the workflow. Our cloud solutions feature 99.5% uptime and run on geographically dispersed, active‑active, data centers hosted on Microsoft Azure, a HITRUST CSF certified hosting infrastructure.
Affordable, subscription‑based pricing with little up-front capital investment makes it easier for public and private sector businesses to plan budgets with predictable expenses.
Anchor Dictation in action
Have you ever wanted to dictate into a document while simultaneously keeping your eyes fixed on a separate window as a reference for your dictation?
One of Dragon Professional Anywhere’s most powerful features—Anchor Dictation—allows you to anchor your text transcription within a specific document, even if your cursor and mouse are positioned in another window. This is particularly useful when referencing information from a different source, such as a webpage, while dictating into a document. Anchor Dictation enhances multitasking capabilities by enabling you to create text away from your active window while maintaining focus on other tasks.
Work better, faster and smarter with accurate dictation and transcription
Fast, accurate, and highly customizable
Fast, extremely responsive and highly accurate out of the box enterprise speech recognition with speech profiles that can be easily accessed across multiple devices.
Always latest speech recognition engine
Cloud‑based technology ensures professionals have access to the most recent updates and that all users are working with the same software version.
Easy to install and maintain
No complex configurations, simple installation and automatic updates mean less work for your IT staff, less hassle for your employees, and users can be up and running within minutes.
Nuance Deep Learning technology
With a next‑gen speech engine powered by Nuance Deep Learning technology, Dragon achieves high recognition accuracy while dictating, even for users with accents or those working in open-office or mobile environments.
Anchor Dictation Focus
Allows knowledge professionals to anchor the text transcription within a particular document, even while they have their cursor and mouse positioned in another window (i.e. when referencing a web page).
256-bit Encrypted Data
The client connects to a server component that is installed using 256‑bit encryption. Data is encrypted in transit and at rest.
Dragon Anywhere Mobile for iOS and Android devices
Extend the capabilities of Dragon Professional Anywhere with the included Dragon Anywhere Mobile. Dragon Anywhere Mobile is professional‑grade mobile dictation allowing users to create, edit and format documents of any length and share information directly from a mobile device.
Your work doesn’t stop when you are away from your PC. Whether you are a Certified Financial Adviser, a police officer or a case‑worker, Dragon Anywhere Mobile extends your ability to capture critical information at the point of interaction.
To help keep busy professionals productive, customizations—such as an Auto‑Text or unique verbal commands—created in Dragon Anywhere Mobile are automatically synchronized with Dragon Professional Anywhere and vice versa. This allows work started away from the office to easily be completed when you are back at your desk.
