Focus on clients while Dragon does the paperwork

Ready for where you’re headed

Now serving the needs of both individual and group deployments, Dragon Legal is the speech recognition solution of choice for attorneys. From solo practitioners to large firms, legal professionals experience the same documentation productivity benefits.

Our latest AI-powered 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.

Automate repetitive workflows

Create custom voice commands to insert standard clauses into documents or create timesaving macros to automate multistep workflows by voice. Once created, share customizations across the user community for efficiency gains

Built with accessibility requirements in mind

Dragon Legal v16 extends Windows 11’s stellar accessibility experience to document creation and command and control functionality. Mouse-grid on multiple monitors, “play that back” audio of dictated text in the user’s voice, and sophisticated macro commands are a few capabilities that serve legal professionals needing accommodation for physical or cognitive disabilities.

Empower employees with a Nuance PowerMic option

Faster and more convenient than using a headset microphone, PowerMic is ideal for on-the-go situations or for high levels of dictation. Users can switch back and forth between dictation and other tasks or program buttons to automate steps such as advancing sequentially through form fields.

Dragon can follow you everywhere—it’s mobile made easy

Extend your practice-wide documentation capabilities with professional-grade mobile dictation allowing legal practitioners to create, edit, and format documents of any length and share information directly from a mobile device. All on-the-go customizations—from Auto-texts to verbal commands—are automatically synched to Dragon Legal Anywhere and vice-versa.

Specialized legal vocabulary

This Dragon went to law school

Designed specifically for legal professionals, Dragon Legal derives its best-in-class accuracy from a built-in legal vocabulary trained on more than 400 million words from legal documents. Users can continuously evolve and adapt its accuracy by creating, importing, and sharing custom word lists relevant to clients and areas of specialty. Easy correction and automatic formatting of legal citations make document turnaround a breeze, freeing support staff to focus on higher-value tasks.

Powerful transcription

Transcend transcription

Reduce dependencies on outsourced transcription services or cut transcription costs completely with fast, accurate, legal‑specific speech recognition that requires no training. Use Dragon to easily transcribe recorded notes or voice files of a single speaker into text or transcribe an attorney's batch files of audio recordings with the Auto Transcribe Folder Agent (ATFA). Basic punctuation is automatically applied.

Nuance Management Center features include central management, full scalability, usage reporting, and license management.

Cut costs with Nuance Management Center

Nuance Management Center (NMC) allows your IT department to easily track employee usage of Dragon Legal, redistribute licenses based on usage, and manage or share customizations—including custom words, commands, and Auto-texts—across multiple users. Dragon Legal v16 speech recognition software, coupled with NMC and goal-driven project management and services, provides a complete solution that increases legal documentation productivity and minimizes support and implementation costs so attorneys can focus on clients.
