Dragon NaturallySpeaking® Mobile Suite

The new Dragon NaturallySpeaking® Mobile Suite for Medical and Dragon NaturallySpeaking® Mobile Suite for Legal products use the latest version of the award-winning Dragon NaturallySpeaking continuous speech recognition software, including Dragon NaturallySpeaking Legal Suite or Medical Suite Version 3.0, Dragon NaturallyMobile™ software and the innovative portable MiniDisc player/recorder from Sony.

Users create text simply by speaking naturally into the palm-sized Sony MiniDisc (model MZ-R50) recorder, even if they are miles away from a PC. Later, the recording can be transcribed by Dragon NaturallySpeaking software using new features designed to make audio transcription easier. The new products are aimed at medical, legal and other professionals who need the highest accuracy and the most flexibility in their work. They can create briefs, reports, correspondence, email or other documents, while away from the office or when moving from one location to another.

The state-of-the-art accuracy comes from the combination of highly accurate software with the digital recording and re-recording capability of the MiniDisc (MD). The flexibility comes from the benefits of the MD recording medium that holds up to 148 minutes (in mono mode) of speech on a single disk that is re-recordable more than a million times with no loss of sound quality, thereby minimizing disk replacement. MD blank media is widely available in most consumer electronic stores for less than $5 a disc. A highly portable format, MD was built to resist shocks.

The hand-held MZ-R50 offers up to 40-second shock resistance, and the disk is encased in a protective shell so it resists scratches and damage from normal, portable use.

Dragon NaturallySpeaking is widely acclaimed for being the most accurate speech recognition product on the market. The newest version, Version 3.0 , is about 25 percent more accurate with the addition of Dragon's BestMatch™ technology.

The Sony palm-sized MZ-R50 MiniDisc player/recorder is part of the Sony's full line of portable, home, car and recordable MD products. It weighs less than 6-3/4th ounces (excluding batteries), is slim and compact enough to fit easily in a shirt pocket and can be held comfortably in the palm of the hand. When ready to transcribe the documents, the MZ-R50 is connected to a computer running Dragon NaturallySpeaking Mobile Suite for Legal or Dragon NaturallySpeaking Mobile Suite Medical. The dictation is quickly and automatically transcribed into the user's Corel® WordPerfect® or Microsoft® Word document.
