Nuance's Dragon Speech Recognition suite are applications for lawyers, medical practitioners, and other professionals, allowing them to dictate and record notes (according to the vendor) faster than typing, accurately.
Dragon is well suited for occasional dictation whereas for short tasks it may be less appropriate. Step by step commands can take a lot of time to program however these would be worthwhile long term if it is a repetitive task. Dragon is a new language to learn and this can be overwhelming. By following the guide this will support you for future use and it is possible to learn by using the "click" command which replicates the mouse click. With this scenario you can say what you see for example in Word, say click home then click centre which will centre the document
My job requires that I produce lengthy and detailed minutes of meetings and Nuance Dragon Speech Recognition is absolutely ideally suited for this purpose. Notably, meetings are recorded and it is extremely easy to playback the recording of meetings while dictating notes. This is a remarkable saving in time and effort in producing minutes that might otherwise take a few days. I cannot think of any scenario where it would be less appropriate to use Nuance Dragon Speech Recognition other than in a situation where it is not possible to dictate for whatever reason.
Overall, its gives the functionality that I need in my role and can support with automating tasks. I mainly use it for autotext, to add blocks of text and it works universally across all applications. It saves time and works well in Windows 11. It works very well navigating the web.
You can train in unknown words and use autotext. It learns my writing style and uses AI algorithms to understand context of dictation. Dragon works on all applications instead of googles service that will work online only. Can program Dragon commands to complete repetitive sentences. Dragon can open websites and documents entirely by voice whereas Google's is cloud based.
Other than the more recent speech recognition tools from Microsoft, Google, etc., I have always used Nuance Dragon Speech Recognition. I was introduced to AI technology on an appraisal assignment. During the engagement, I had an opportunity to learn about the technology, and when I researched speech recognition software, the best reviews were of Nuance Dragon Speech Recognition. I purchased Nuance Dragon Speech Recognition and have stayed with the product.
