Turn talk into text - faster and more accurate than
typing
MFR Part#: A109A-KN9-10.0
Most people speak over 120 words per minute but type less than 40 words per
minute. What if you could create email, documents and spreadsheets simply by
speaking? What if you could control your PC just by talking to it, starting
programs, using menus, surfing the Web?
Dragon NaturallySpeaking 10 Preferred gives small business and advanced PC users
the power to create documents, reports and emails three times faster than most
people type - with up to 99% accuracy. Surf the Web by voice or dictate and edit
in Microsoft Word and Excel, Corel WordPerfect, and most other Windows-based
applications. Create voice commands to quickly insert blocks of texts or images
- such as your name, title, and signature. Dictate into a handheld device when
you're away from your PC, or use a Bluetooth microphone for the same great
dictation results without the wires.
Dragon NaturallySpeaking works with the most commonly used desktop applications,
including Microsoft Word, Internet Explorer, AOL and more! Just about anything
you do now by typing can be done faster using your voice. Create and edit
documents or emails. Open and close applications. Control your mouse and entire
desktop.
The biggest reason more people worldwide rely on Dragon NaturallySpeaking: it
works. With more than 175 awards for accuracy and ease of use, it’s the
undisputed leader in speech recognition software. If you want to get more done,
more quickly, just say the word and Dragon NaturallySpeaking will transform your
productivity.
Dragon NaturallySpeaking is faster and more accurate than ever, delivering up to
20% more accurate results than Version 9. Your transcribed words now appear on
the screen in half the time it took in the past. With new Dragon Voice
Shortcuts, you can search the Web for information, products, news and more with
a single voice command. Updated graphical icons for the DragonBar are intuitive
and easy to see. New Quick Voice Formatting makes it easier to format, delete,
and copy words and passages with a single command.
Dragon Voice Shortcuts for Web Search
Dragon Voice Shortcuts make searching the Web faster and easier. Just say
commands containing your desired search words, such as “Search the Web for
financial management resources” or “Search maps for Italian restaurants in
Burlington 01803,” and Dragon 10 will use the default search engine and Web
browser to enter your dictated term(s) in the search field and return the
results. Thanks to Google’s “I’m Feeling Lucky” search, you can also get
the top-ranked site directly, by saying, “Find a site about motorcycles.”
You may also search specific sites directly for videos, images, news, articles
and products using commands such as “Search Wikipedia for George Washington
Carver,” or “Search eBay for Bluetooth headsets.” Sites supported by
Dragon Voice Shortcuts include Google, Yahoo, eBay, Wikipedia, YouTube,
about.com, and more.
Dragon Voice Shortcuts for Desktop Search
Dragon 10 introduces commands to search your computer as directly as the Web, by
dictating the word(s) to find in documents, emails and Web-browsing history. For
example, you can say, “Search computer for launch plans” and Dragon will
complete the search using Google Desktop or Windows Vista desktop search. In
addition, commands such as “Find an email about the Robinson report”
directly open the top email containing the dictated keywords. Searching your
computer has never been faster — or easier.
Quick Voice Formatting (“Delete | Copy | Bold | Underline | Italicize”
commands)
Rather than selecting the relevant word(s) or passage and commanding what to do
with that text (e.g., “Select very, [pause] Bold that”), you can now
directly name the desired text with the desired action in a single voice
command, such as “Bold very.” Just like in the familiar “Select ”
commands, you can even designate a whole passage by quoting its first and last
word(s).
New UI Look and Feel
Dragon 10 introduces new graphical icons to enhance the DragonBar user
interface, including a larger microphone icon, making the product easier to use.
More Flexible Enrollment for younger speakers and users with certain speech
challenges
Reading an acoustic training text efficiently teaches one’s voice to the
software, and Dragon 10 offers an easier way to do it: print or view the entire
text and record it at your own pace - without needing to satisfy the validation
done by the software in the original prompt screens. By making it easier to
train the product to one’s voice, Dragon 10 improves the experience for
younger users and users with certain speech challenges.
Regional Accent Support
Following a significant data collection effort and research, Dragon 10
incorporates new acoustic models for better coverage of non-native and regional
accents. Together with more powerful adaptation techniques, this will help
everyone get better recognition accuracy - from the very first use.
Option to Disable Microsoft Text Services (CTFMon)
Dragon NaturallySpeaking 10 reduces to a simple checkbox the multi-step process
of disabling alternative services that may cause conflicts, such as advanced
technical services on Windows XP or handwriting features on tablet PCs.
Better control of commands vs. dictation on the Web
Dragon 10 helps ensure a comfortable experience on the Web, addressing the
concern that words you mean to dictate may be interpreted as a command, even if
said in isolation. Dragon 10 now provides finer options for optimal comfort on
the Web whether you intend dictation or action: one can disable HTML commands
and also require saying “Click” for hyperlinks separately, without disabling
dictation support. In addition, Dragon 10 replaces some existing single-word
HTML commands with multiple-word equivalents, to avoid confusion with those
single words meant as dictation:
Auto Configuration for Optimal Performance Based on System Profile
During installation, Dragon 10 automatically analyzes your PC’s resources and
changes default settings as needed to increase speed; this may include moving
the Speed vs. Accuracy slider towards speed and disabling the Natural Language
commands in some applications. The users can later change these options if they
wish. In addition, DNS10 gives finer control over the support for Natural
Language commands, which means users can gain speed if they only use Natural
Language commands in some applications. One can disable these large sets of
flexible command wordings separately for Microsoft Word, Excel, PowerPoint and
Corel WordPerfect.
Formatting and Word Properties Interface Enhancements
Dragon 10 gives easier and finer control over the form, spacing and
capitalization of items written in various contexts (e.g., inserting a space
before or after, capitalizing the next word, or using alternate forms like
“Fig.” instead of “figure” before numerals.) For instance, if you want
all numbers between zero and ten to be written as numerals, you can now simply
set this with just one check on the Formatting dialog.
Embedded Data Collection Tool
A New User Wizard screen invites users to participate in a program designed to
collect data to improve the overall accuracy of Dragon NaturallySpeaking. The
option is off by default.
Natural Commands for Mozilla Firefox
Dragon NaturallySpeaking 10 makes it easier than ever to use speech recognition
with Mozilla Firefox, the award-winning Web browser used by tens of millions of
people worldwide: you can now benefit from Natural Language commands, and the
ability to activate a hyperlink by just saying part of its name.
Up to 99% Accurate and Three Times Faster than Typing
Most people speak over 120 words per minute, but type less than 40 words a
minute. That means you can create documents and emails about three times faster
with Dragon NaturallySpeaking. Dragon never makes a spelling mistake, and it
actually gets smarter the more you use it!
Easy to Use
Dragon NaturallySpeaking installs quickly and requires no special script
reading. New on-screen help and tutorials will make you an expert user in no
time.
Use with Many Windows Programs
Use your voice to dictate, edit and control applications such as Microsoft Word,
Microsoft Outlook Express, Microsoft Internet Explorer, and AOL.
