Key Features

Enjoy amazing speed and accuracy

Dictate up to three times faster than typing; your words appear on the screen almost instantly. Speak naturally and Dragon recognizes what you say right out of the box.

Talk naturally at normal speeds and your words appear on screen almost instantly. Eliminate spelling concerns and minimize corrections. Get results the way you want them;

Dragon adapts to your preferences for how words, phrases or numbers are formatted.

Achieve even better accuracy the more you use it; Dragon continues to learn the way you speak and write. Optional advanced training or analysis of existing documents and emails further enhance accuracy.

Be more productive on your computer

Create, edit and format documents—with no spelling mistakes! You can select text and apply formatting such as bold, underline, capitals and more, or just speak to make needed changes.

Smart Format Rules automatically adapt to how you want abbreviations, numbers and more to appear, so you don’t have to correct them every time.

Easily switch between typing and voice so you can use the mode of input you prefer for any given task. Launch applications, control programs, surf the web and switch from one window to another—all by voice.

Create your own custom voice commands to insert frequently used text and graphics. You can also import/export custom word lists.

Work the way you want to

Interact with your computer in a more comfortable and ergonomic manner.

Go wireless with built-in laptop microphones—no headset required! Or, use your smartphone as a wireless microphone. With automatic microphone detection, Dragon will conveniently show you which microphones are available for you to use. With Dragon you can also use multiple audio device types within the same profile, meaning that you can easily switch to another microphone while keeping all your personalized preferences for accuracy and formatting. This is useful if, for example, you use a USB mic at home, a Bluetooth wireless mic at school, and your laptop’s built-in mic when you’re on the go.

Capture notes using the included digital voice recorder or compatible iOS and Android devices and Dragon will transcribe the audio for you. Dragon is optimized to transcribe a single speaker’s voice.

Use favorite applications

Control your computer and your applications—whether on the desktop or in the cloud—using your voice. Speak voice commands and use Full Text Control in Microsoft Word, WordPerfect, Notepad, WordPad, and DragonPad.

Enjoy Full Text Control in many popular web applications including Gmail, Yahoo! Mail and Outlook.com, when using Internet Explorer, Firefox or Chrome. Full Text Control allows you to perform direct dictation, selection, correction and cursor movement within the text using your voice.

    5.0 out of 5 stars Five stars for this program!
    Reviewed in the United States on August 13, 2019
    When I fell and fractured not only my clavacle but my shoulder before Christmas, I was limited in being able to use a keyboard. I bought this in hopes if would help. It did. If I'd used it longer I think I'd have been able to make it work even better than it did, but I wasn't at all disappointed, ven though it did require some editing after using. It made a good bit of progress, however. My hubby is having problems with Macular Degeneration and may need to use it in the future. I think its a wonderful program. I do wish they made one specifically for mac, but for now I use it on my windows-based computer and it works very well. Five stars.

    4.0 out of 5 stars Documentation is awful but finally got the digital recorder to reset
    Reviewed in the United States on February 22, 2021
    I was able to configure the software easily. The digital recorder, on the other hand, wasn't working at all. Very disappointing. None of the controls work and when it powered up the display doesn't get past the Phillips splash screen. In order to use the manual included, you must get the digital recorder working since that's where it's stored. had to go online to find the user manual to figure out how to reset the device. Surprisingly easy to reset once you know how. Recorder is working and the software is easy to to use once its properly trained. I expect it to be very useful.

    Reviewed in the United States on August 31, 2015
    This product includes a headset with the two old style input cords. Modern computers do not have these inputs and only accommodate USB microphones. There is a piece of paper in the packaging stating that one can but a USB microphone as needed. It will be needed and will cost at least $40 for a decent quality one. I feel the makers of this product are short changing the public by handing out obsolete technology. I would NOT buy the mobile edition.

    1.0 out of 5 stars First Order Never Arrived; Second Order DVD Was corrupted
    Reviewed in the United States on March 31, 2020
    My first order never arrived. I was finally able to cancel that and order again. the second order DVD was corrupted. Unfortunately I am very busy and presumed my laptop DVD drive was at fault. I order an external drive and was able to try it there,but it made a horrible noise.. Again I presumed the drive (a cheap one) was at fault. I've just been able to test it again and after a long test was able to confirm that the DVD is corrupt.
    Unfortunately it is now past the return window.
    I would not trust this seller at all. I just I had had time to test it thoroughly in time to return it.

    So far, I have not had to use the program, but it is installed and seems to be functioning. It may take another week before I can give it a comprehensive test drive.

    5.0 out of 5 stars Dictation
    Reviewed in the United States on May 20, 2020
    I bought a Dragon product years and years ago and had given up trying to use it because of the amount of "training" the system needed. This current product, I read one paragraph and it has picked up my speech with very few mistakes. I am currently using it for schoolwork so that I can multitask ie cooking dinner while writing my paper and I love it. The recorded that came with it is also useful and being able to plug it into the computer and allow whatever I have dictated into it is a bonus. It allows me to make use of ideas even when I am not in front of the computer.
