Feature Highlights

• FAST, ACCURATE DICTATION
  Dictate naturally to create documents, spreadsheets, presentations, email, and more -- three times faster than typing -- with up to 99% accuracy. You can even:
  • Play back your dictation -- with fast-forward, rewind, and speed and volume control capabilities -- for easy proofing.
  • Get better results over time; Dragon 11 automatically updates your voice profile based on your dictation sessions and corrections. Set Dragon to quickly adapt to your voice and writing style by “studying” your sent emails and documents of your choice.
• SUPERIOR PERFORMANCE
  NEW! Dragon 11 Professional delivers faster recognition response for both commands and dictation to help you get more done faster. It also provides improved accuracy, reducing recognition errors by up to 15% over the Dragon 10. It even detects hardware resources and automatically sets up the recommended configuration for optimal performance.
• WORKS WITH MOST WINDOWS APPLICATIONS
  Use Dragon Professional with just about any Windows® application to accomplish more in your busy day. Dictate, edit and format in Microsoft® Word, Excel®, Outlook®, or OpenOffice® Writer. Get the information you need on the Web using Internet Explorer® or Mozilla® Firefox®. Dragon 11 even works with industry-specific software programs.
• CONTROL YOUR COMPUTER BY VOICE
  Use simple voice commands to create files, send email, schedule meetings, open and close applications or folders, switch between windows, save and convert documents, and search the Web faster than ever before. NEW! More Dragon Voice Shortcuts: Just say what you want to do and Dragon does it. Dragon 11 includes more commands than ever to consolidate multiple mouse clicks and keystrokes into a direct voice command that can be spoken anytime -- no matter what is active on the screen. Create email, schedule appointments or search the Web or your desktop with simple voice commands.
• CREATE CUSTOM COMMANDS TO SAVE TIME
  Create special voice commands that let you fill out forms, insert frequently used text and graphics, or automate business processes. Much like Visual Basic for Applications, these powerful commands can be created to:
  • Automate any user-specific functions to streamline routine tasks
  • Control various application elements such as menus and toolbars
  • Manage custom user forms or dialog boxes
• EASILY ACCESS KEY FEATURES
  NEW! The Dragon Sidebar allows you to discover and access important voice commands and tips by putting them in one convenient desktop location. Its content automatically changes depending on which window is currently active.
• BUILD CUSTOM VOCABULARIES
  Add unique names, acronyms, and terminology tuned to your business or industry so that Dragon will recognize the words and phrases you use. Custom word lists can be imported and shared across the enterprise.
• BE PRODUCTIVE ANYTIME, ANYWHERE Dragon keeps up with your brain, instantly transforming ideas into text -- with no spelling mistakes. So you can focus on content instead of typing and spelling for higher quality, more detailed documents. For optimal convenience, you can:
  • Use a wireless headset for comfort and mobility in your office or on the road. Take multitasking to a whole new level.
  • Dictate notes using a digital voice recorder to capture thoughts while they’re still fresh in your mind.
  NEW! Creating a user profile for a digital voice recorder -- or adding one as a new audio source -- has never been faster or easier. Plus, Dragon 11 Professional directly accepts more audio file formats than ever before, including .DSS and .DS2 files, with no need for conversion.
• IDEAL FOR ENTERPRISE DEPLOYMENTS
  Centrally manage voice profiles, custom vocabularies, feature access, and multiple installations over a network. Robust security features and administration tools make Dragon enterprise ready.
• SECTION 508 CERTIFIED
  Meet government mandated accessibility requirements for workers with disabilities. With Dragon 11 Professional you can also help prevent repetitive stress industries and keep more employees on the job.
