Dragon NaturallySpeaking Premium 11.5

Dragon NaturallySpeaking 11 Premium provides a whole new way to interact with a PC -- using speech instead of a keyboard and mouse -- to help you work faster and more efficiently.

A Few New Features:

• Dragon 11.5 Premium delivers significantly improved accuracy, reducing recognition errors by up to 15% over Dragon 10. Plus, it detects hardware resources and automatically sets up the recommended configuration for optimal performance.
• More Dragon Voice Shortcuts: Just say what you want to do, and Dragon does it.
• Custom Commands: Dragon works the way you work.
• Creating a user profile for a digital voice recorder has never been faster or easier. Plus, Dragon 11.5 Premium now directly accepts more audio file formats.
• The Dragon Sidebar allows users to discover and access key commands and tips by putting them in one convenient desktop location. Its content automatically changes depending on which window is currently active.

Time-Saving Voice Commands

• New Facebook and Twitter Commands: Users can easily update Facebook by saying “Post to Facebook”, “Post to Facebook [text],” or “Post that to Facebook.” Tweets are quickly captured by voice: a user selects dictated or typed text (via mouse or voice command), and says “Post that to Twitter.” Additional Twitter commands include “Tweet [text]” (English only) and “Post to Twitter [text].”
• New Text Formatting Commands: Formatting text is faster and easier with new commands and capabilities not found in versions 9 and 10.
• The new “Quote that” and “Bracket that” commands can be applied to the last utterance or current selection. In addition, the new “Empty Quotes” and “Empty Brackets” commands can be used if a customer knows ahead of time the next utterance should be quoted/bracketed.
• Microsoft Office 2010 commands: The French and German editions of Dragon 11.5.5 incorporate a broader variety of available commands.

Improved Correcting and Editing

• Handling Multiple Matches in Text: Dragon 11.5 introduced the ability to quickly and easily apply correcting, formatting and editing commands to one or all items when the command could apply to multiple instances of text. Version 11.5 introduces a new “Undo all” command. The new command is active only immediately after the user gives a “Choose all” command.
More Usable Spelling Window: The Spelling Window (allowing users to type or spell out something Dragon was not able to transcribe) is now resizable horizontally and delivers more readable options for alternate words and phrases, making it easier for users to modify or correct text.
