WHAT’s NEW
- Deep Learning Technology for improved accuracy
Improved Accuracy: Dragon Home is the most intelligent speech recognition solution available. With a next generation speech engine with the latest Nuance® Deep Learning™ technology, it delivers up to 99% recognition accuracy as soon as you start dictating, without the need for training. Dragon speech recognition technology constantly learns and adapts to your unique voice and environmental variations – even while you’re dictating – to deliver new levels of personalized accuracy and productivity. This optimal accuracy is achieved even for speakers with accents and in slightly noisy environments. This means that Dragon understands you, and you get things done faster than ever. And when you do need to make a correction, Dragon learns, making it more accurate the more you use it.
- Streamlined Interface
Simplified Menus and Option: Enjoy using a simplified Dragon bar and streamlined interface that eliminates complex menus and options, so you can quickly select the options you need and start turning your voice into text using Dragon right away.
- Playback Mode
Playback Mode: Now with the ability to select a block of text and “play that back” listening to your own voice, Dragon Home makes reviewing and editing your content a breeze. Listen to your dictation while proofreading your document and make edits and corrections faster as you become even better with your dictation.
- Ignite a more enjoyable pc experience
Dragon Home takes your spoken words and intelligently transcribes them into text. Simply speak and watch your words appear on your computer screen. The software is easy to install and simple to use and makes even mundane PC tasks faster and more enjoyable.
- Ignite creativity by capturing your spoken thoughts
Transform your ideas into text at the speed of thought; don’t let typing, touch screen PCs, spelling, or fear of the blank page slow you down. Simply speak and let Dragon capture your thoughts quickly and accurately, so you’ll never lose track of another great idea.Capture your thoughts quickly and completely, without having to keep your eyes fixed on the screen or hands on the keyboard.
- Ignite productivity by turning talk into text
Turn talk into text - three times faster than typing - with up to 99% recognition accuracy right out of the gate. Create and edit documents, dictate homework assignments, send emails, update social posts and more. Dragon Home adapts to your voice and the words you use to deliver better recognition results over time. You can even have Dragon learn new words as you make document corrections. Dragon also adapts its format rules by detecting your format corrections – abbreviations, numbers and more — so your dictated text looks the way you want it to every time.
- Ignite convenience by using your favourite applications
In addition to Dragon Pad, the built-in text editor, you can use Dragon Home with popular Windows applications. Dictate documents with Full Text Control in Microsoft Word, send email in Microsoft Outlook, search the Web using Internet Explorer or Mozilla Firefox or Google Chrome, post to Facebook or Twitter and more - all by voice.
