It could be the start of your work day. Today.

With Dragon Dictate for Windows software, you can work with your PC entirely by voice or by combining voice with a keyboard and a mouse. Dictate any text or numbers into your favorite application. You can immediately "see what you say" right in that application. Move around your document, format paragraphs, and even move your mouse by voice. Activate pull-down menus and dialog boxes by voice. You can "see what you say" right on your screen to initiate commands. More PCs use speech recognition from Dragon Systems than from any other vendor. DragonDictate, Dragon Systems' state-of-the-art award-winning dictation product, helps tens of thousands of professionals to be more productive. Many professionals find that DragonDictate enables them to use the software packages that they depend upon easily and more productively hands-free!

How it works

DragonDictate listens to what you say. (A high quality microphone is provided.) Your speech is analyzed using both an "acoustic model" and a "language model." The "acoustic model" is based on speech samples collected from thousands of people. Sophisticated mathematical algorithms are used to compare your speech to the appropriate model. The result is the best acoustic word match and a short list of alternatives.

The "language model" is based on the analysis of how words are used in thousands of documents. The model predicts word usage to find an even better match and is designed so that DragonDictate can distinguish between words that sound alike, such as "to", "two", "too", and "2". DragonDictate features spelling, acoustic, and language information for the 120,000 words and names that people are most likely to use in day-to-day tasks. Additional words may be added just by using them and spelling them once. DragonDictate automatically remembers the spelling, acoustics and language usage.

Voice macros allow you to create short phrases that will automatically expand into paragraphs or commands.

DragonDictate already contains more than 4,500 macros for leading software products. Users can easily define their own.

Within Your Document

DragonDictate immediately converts your speech into text within your existing Windows Application. There is no need to dictate into a "speech window" or to limit your use to a few pre-approved applications.

In addition to dictation, DragonDictate enables you to edit and format text within your application. You can make changes and corrections right away or later, entirely by voice.

You'll see the results right before your eyes. Just say the words.
