Overview demos

Feature highlights

  • General Dictation
    Create documents three times faster than typing. Just talk to your computer and watch words quickly appear on the screen.
  • Custom Vocabulary
    Dragon uses a vocabulary to recognize words correctly based not only on the sound of the words, but on their context. The Vocabulary Editor dialog box allows you to view and customize your active vocabulary. You can add words and phrases or view and train dictation commands.
  • Google Search
    With Dragon Voice Shortcuts for Web Search, finding specific information through a Google search is easier and faster than ever.
  • Quick Voice Formatting
    Dragon 10 introduces direct commands for formatting, deleting, and copying named words and passages.
  • Editing Your Documents
    Occasionally Dragon will misrecognize a word from your dictation, but there are a number of ways you can correct the misrecognitions in a document. Dragon lets you play back your dictation so you can more easily identify misrecognitions.
  • Surf the Web
    Dragon includes a set of commands designed specifically for use with Web browsers such as Internet Explorer and Mozilla Firefox that enable you to surf the Web by voice.
  • Using Macros
    Dragon can help users accomplish routine tasks more quickly and efficiently by cutting down on the number of steps it takes to complete a given task — without changing established business processes. With Dragon, repetitive tasks can be consolidated and executed with a single voice command.

    Users can create text blocks—including commonly used phrases, paragraphs and even graphics—and insert them into documents or emails using a single voice command for faster, easier document creation.
  • Dragon Voice Shortcuts
    Dragon Voice Shortcuts for Web Search and Email collapse common multi-step tasks into direct voice commands. Search specific sites directly for videos, images, news, articles and products and send email to selected contact(s) — all with simple voice commands.
