Dragon Professional for Education

Nuance Dragon® Speech Recognition software transforms the classroom and helps students and teachers express themselves — enabling them to achieve new levels of success, both inside and outside of the classroom.

Dragon enables students, teachers and school administrators to dictate and edit in programs like Microsoft Word®, Excel® and Outlook®, and watch their spoken words appear in documents, email, instant messages and more—three times faster than most people type—with up to 99% accuracy. Students can also surf the web by speaking commands to navigate the browser and select links — all by voice.

PLEASE NOTE: Dragon Professional speech recognition is ONLY supported on machines running Windows operating systems.  Chromebooks and MAC devices ARE NOT SUPPORTED. For more information, please click the "Specifications" tab above.

Fast and accurate documentation

With a next-generation speech engine leveraging Deep Learning technology, Dragon adapts to your voice or environmental variations — even while you're dictating. Create documents and reports quickly and accurately, and zip through computer tasks in record time
— all by voice.

• Dragon learns the words and phrases you use the most to minimize corrections
• Optimizes accuracy for speakers with accents or in slightly noisy environments such as an office cubicle
• Smart Format Rules automatically adapt to how you want abbreviations, dates, phone numbers and more to appear
• Apply formatting by voice, such as bold or underline
• Work within popular business applications

Work more efficiently with powerful customizations

Imagine saying "Insert Signature" and Dragon fills in your contact details or dictating industry-specific terminology and Dragon types every word correctly—every time. With advanced personalization features, like the ability to create custom commands and custom words, Dragon allows you to tailor it to the way you work for big productivity gains.

• Import and export custom word lists for acronyms or other unique terminology
• Create custom voice commands for inserting frequently-used text and graphics
• Create time-saving macros to automate multi-step workflows or business processes via simple voice commands

Dictate anywhere, transcribe back at your desktop

Don't fall behind on reports and other documentation. Dictate into a digital voice recorder and Dragon will automatically transcribe the recordings when you connect to your desktop. You can also transcribe another single speaker's voice from pre-recorded audio files or from podcasts. Streamlined setup makes transcription faster and easier than ever.

• Complete transcription quickly and accurately with no voice training required even for third-party speakers
• Transcribe from .mp3 aif, .aiff, .wav, .mp4, .m4a, .m4v.
• Get a head start as you review or correct your transcription results with automatic application of basic punctuation that are not dictated
• Save time and eliminate reliance on costly transcription services

Note: Does not support dictation into Electronic Medical Record (EMR) systems. For EMR support, please use Dragon Medical One or Dragon Medical Practice Edition.
