Dragon Professional Group Documentation Productivity for the Enterprise

Improve documentation quality, turnaround and costs

Empower employees to create high-quality documentation faster and more efficiently, while saving your business time and money with Dragon Professional Group, the enterprise-ready speech recognition solution.

Work better, faster and smarter with accurate dictation and transcription

Improve mobile documentation and reporting

Leverage Nuance Deep Learning technology

Empower mobile employees and field workers to create documents or fill out form-based reports wherever work takes them. Use Dragon on popular touchscreen PCs, or sync with Dragon Anywhere Group, Nuance's cloud-based, professional-grade mobile dictation solution, and improve documentation productivity.

With a next-generation 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; making it ideal for diverse work groups and settings.

Streamline repetitive or manual processes

Reduce repetitive stress injuries (RSIs)

Dragon makes it easy to automate tasks or short-cut repetitive steps. Create custom voice commands to insert standard boilerplate text or signatures into documents. Or create time-saving macros to automate multi-step workflows by voice. Once created, share these customizations across the Dragon user community for efficiency gains.

Reduce the symptoms of RSIs or proactively prevent further injuries. Enable professionals to create documents and perform other computer tasks - all by voice, and reduce the physical strain of typing.

Eliminate or reduce transcription time and costs

Speed and simplify document creation

Reduce dependencies on outsourced transcription services, or eliminate transcription bottlenecks. With Dragon, transcribe audio files or voice files of another single speaker into text quickly and easily back at PC, or use the Auto Transcribe Folder Agent (ATFA) to transcribe batch files of audio recordings.

Empower employees to dictate documents 3 times faster than typing with up to 99% recognition accuracy, right from the first use. Since documents are created in a fraction of the time it would typically take typing by hand, they spend less time on paperwork, and more time on more profitable tasks.

Add custom words to meet your business needs

Central user administration made easy

Personalize Dragon’s vocabulary to include the industry-specific terms or acronyms your employees use daily. Once custom words or word lists have been created and added, share them with other Dragon users for even higher dictation accuracy and faster document turnaround.

The Nuance Management Center makes it easy to track employee usage of Dragon, redistribute licenses based on usage, and manage or share customizations, including custom words, commands and auto-texts, across multiple users.

Robust documentation

The Problem

The Solution

Many organizations face increasing documentation demands, but inefficient or cumbersome processes can put accuracy, deadlines, and employee productivity at risk. The result: non-compliance penalties, reliance on costly transcription services, and long hours spent on administrative work rather than core business initiatives.

With Dragon Professional Group speech recognition, empower your staff with a faster and more accurate way to create documents, spreadsheets, and presentations, or fill out form-based reports—in the office or on the road, all by voice. Use robust transcription tools to eliminate reliance on outsourced services, or create and share powerful voice commands to shortcut repetitive, manual processes for additional productivity gains.

Empower field workers, lawyers, social workers, insurance adjusters, public safety officers and other professionals to keep up with documentation demands even when they are away from their desk. Easily integrate Nuance's cloud-based, professional-grade mobile dictation solution, Dragon Anywhere Group, into your mobile documentation workflow, and enable mobile professionals to complete documentation requirements in real-time—by voice—via iOS and Android smartphones and tablets.
