    Welcome to the August Edition of the VR newsletter!

    We get more and more clients calling every day who want to know more about Voice Recognition because they hear about the cost benefits, speed and accuracy of Dragon NaturallySpeaking version 7.3. While not yet in the mainstream, Voice Recognition is very quickly becoming the standard way to create reports and document in medical, legal and other professional environments not to mention a great option for home users.

    Who are the best candidates for voice recognition? The simple answer is ANYONE, but more specifically:

    • Professionals who have to create reports
    • Government workers who must complete lengthy paperwork or forms
    • Attorneys creating legal briefs or client correspondence
    • Students writing term papers or school projects
    • Physicians dictating medical notes for patient charts
    • Real estate agents making notes on property for sale
    • Appraisers walking through a property to document findings
    • Sales people dictating account notes on clients and prospects
    • Instructors creating class material
    • Tech support reps logging support calls
    • Anyone creating an email
    • And the list goes on...


    The point here is that no matter what you do and no matter what you write, voice recognition software can help you do it better, faster and at a fraction of the cost you might be spending now. We are convinced that one-day soon, voice will be the accepted standard way we all create notes, forms and documents.

    We love to demonstrate Dragon NaturallySpeaking over the Internet. We’ve heard grown adults gasp and even laugh out loud once they see how fast we can create a sample email over the phone and Internet. Our screen-sharing technology lets you see what we see and as we speak to you, our words will appear on your screen in real time! We can even use your own text to read for the demo. Interested? Call 1-800-245-2133 or click here to schedule an online demonstration of this Amazing Technology.

    Sales Beyond the US   

    We welcome the opportunity to provide international customers with digital recorder, microphone and transcription solutions located in countries in which our product agreements allow us to sell. We CANNOT quote or supply Dragon NaturallySpeaking voice recognition to clients outside North America.

    Currently, we are able to provide technical solutions to Canada, Mexico, Europe, Australia and New Zealand. Sales to these countries must be handled differently than our US sales and of course there are always certain shipping considerations to take into account so we have outlined those details on a special International page for your review.
