Dragon NaturallySpeaking Premium 13

Dragon NaturallySpeaking 13 Premium provides a whole new way to interact with a PC -- using speech instead of a keyboard and mouse -- to help you work faster and more efficiently. Dragon NaturallySpeaking Premium ignites new levels of productivity by letting you interact with your PC by voice at work, home, or school. Dictate or modify documents, spreadsheets and presentations, send email, search the Web, and more. Even capture notes on the go using a digital recorder and Dragon will transcribe the audio files back at your PC.

A Few New Features:

• Improved Accuracy : Dragon 13 delivers up to a 20% improvement in out-of-box accuracy compared to Dragon 11, which means you can get things done faster.
• Enhanced Experience with Gmail and Hotmail : Dragon 13 enhances the experience of using your voice with Gmail and Hotmail — offering Full Text Control and commands for the most frequent actions in Internet Explorer 9, Mozilla Firefox 12 or higher, and Google Chrome 16 or higher.
• Enhanced Bluetooth Support : Dragon 13 adds support for wideband Bluetooth wireless headset microphones. When it detects that the USB dongle of a certified microphone is plugged into the PC, Dragon 12 offers “Enhanced Bluetooth” as an audio source type and does not require a script reading to get started.
• Dragon Remote Microphone App for iOS and now Android : Dragon 13 lets you go wireless with an iOS or Android device and the free Dragon Remote Microphone App.

Time-Saving Voice Commands

• Facebook and Twitter Commands: Users can easily update Facebook by saying “Post to Facebook”, “Post to Facebook [text],” or “Post that to Facebook.” Tweets are quickly captured by voice: a user selects dictated or typed text (via mouse or voice command), and says “Post that to Twitter.” Additional Twitter commands include “Tweet [text]” (English only) and “Post to Twitter [text].”
• Text Formatting Commands: Formatting text is faster and easier with new commands and capabilities not found in versions 9 and 10.
• The “Quote that” and “Bracket that” commands can be applied to the last utterance or current selection. In addition, the new “Empty Quotes” and “Empty Brackets” commands can be used if a customer knows ahead of time the next utterance should be quoted/bracketed.

Improved Correcting and Editing

• Handling Multiple Matches in Text: Dragon 13 has the ability to quickly and easily apply correcting, formatting and editing commands to one or all items when the command could apply to multiple instances of text. Include an “Undo all” command. The command is active only immediately after the user gives a “Choose all” command.
• More Usable Spelling Window: The Spelling Window (allowing users to type or spell out something Dragon was not able to transcribe) is now resizable horizontally and delivers more readable options for alternate words and phrases, making it easier for users to modify or correct text.

Custom Commands: Dragon works the way you work. Users can create custom voice commands -- quickly and easily -- to insert frequently used text and/or graphics for dramatic time savings.

BE MORE CREATIVE AND PRODUCTIVE -- ANYWHERE

Dragon keeps up with users’ brains, instantly transforming ideas into text -- with no typos. So you can focus on content instead of typing and spelling for higher quality, more detailed results. For optimal convenience, you can:

• Stand up, pace, or cross the room -- there’s no need to be tethered to your PC when you use Dragon with a wireless headset.
• Dictate notes using a digital voice recorder to capture thoughts while they’re still fresh in your mind. And training recorders has never been easier!
• NEW! Creating a user profile for a digital voice recorder has never been faster or easier. Plus, Dragon 13 Premium now directly accepts more audio file formats.

• Dragon Premium works with just about any Windows® application -- Microsoft® Word, Excel®, Outlook®, Internet Explorer®, OpenOffice® Writer, and more -- making the applications you rely on every day faster and easier to use.
