Dragon NaturallySpeaking 10 Preferred speech recognition software is used to create documents, reports, emails and search your desktop and the Web faster than ever

Speech Recognition software provides people with dyslexia and other disabilities the freedom to write and control their computer with their voice. With perfect spelling and audio feedback it enables the user to get their thoughts down quickly and easily enables professional, correctly spelt documents. Email, documents and spreadsheets can be created three times faster than most people type with exceptional accuracy - simply by speaking. Most people speak over 120 words per minute, but type less than 40 words a minute. Speech recognition software is ideal for those with mobility problems such as dyspraxia or RSI as voice controls can be used to move around the computer.

Custom words such as proper names can be added to Dragon NaturallySpeaking's vocabulary. Should Dragon misunderstand your pronunciation you can train it to know what you wanted to write. Dragon NaturallySpeaking never makes a spelling mistake; it just gets smarter the more you use it therefore making it an excellent solution for people who have dyslexia or similar writing difficulty and want to produce professional, correctly spelt documents. Correction is made easy using the 'play back' feature, so you can listen to your dictation whilst Dragon highlights the corresponding text on the screen for accessible proofing.

You can use your voice to dictate, edit and control applications such as Microsoft Word, Microsoft Outlook Express and Microsoft Internet Explorer. With the New Dragon Voice Shortcuts you can quickly search for information faster and easier on the Web or on your own computer. Custom commands can be created to reduce common tasks such as inserting blocks of texts or images, like your name, title and signature.

Quick Voice Formatting enables you to edit and format text quickly and easily; the extensive set of Natural Language Commands avoids the need to memorise complex instructions. In Word, for example, just say 'make that bigger' and the font size increases instantly.

You can even work whilst on the move by dictating into a recommended digital voice recorder. Your recordings will automatically be transcribed when you have connected with your PC.
