Dragon Professional benefits

One Dragon to serve them all

From solo practitioners to global organizations, professionals in document-intensive industries have long relied on Dragon speech recognition to create high‑quality documentation faster and more efficiently, reducing administrative overhead so they can focus on clients. Find out how Dragon Professional v16 is raising the bar with a single solution that serves individuals and groups in every sector of business.

Fluent in business of all sizes

Now serving the needs of both individual and group deployments, Dragon is the professional speech recognition solution of choice for sectors including financial services, education, and health and human services.

Ready for where you’re headed

Built on a quarter-century of expertise, Dragon Professional v16 is optimized for Windows 11 and backwards-compatible to Windows 10. It is the premier speech recognition software for both front-end (live speech-to-text) and back-end (transcribed from pre-existing audio files) applications.

Superior speed and accuracy

Empower employees to dictate documents 3 times faster than typing with up to 99% recognition accuracy, right from first use. Capturing information at the speed of thought allows busy professionals to reproduce details with specificity and immediacy while saving time they can spend on clients.

Nuance Deep Learning technology

With a next‑generation speech engine powered by Nuance Deep Learning technology, Dragon achieves high recognition accuracy while dictating—even for users with accents or those working in open office or mobile environments, making it ideal for diverse workgroups and settings.

Streamline repetitive or manual processes

Dragon makes it easy to automate tasks or shortcut repetitive steps. Use custom voice commands to insert standard boilerplate text or signatures into documents or create time‑saving macros to automate multi‑step workflows by voice. Share these customizations across the Dragon user community for efficiency gains.

Less or no transcription time and costs

Reduce dependencies on outsourced transcription services or eliminate business transcription bottlenecks. With Dragon, transcribe audio files or voice files of another single speaker into text quickly and easily or use the Auto Transcribe Folder Agent (ATFA) to transcribe batch files of audio recordings.

Dragon can follow you everywhere—it’s mobile made easy

Extend your enterprise‑wide documentation capabilities with our professional‑grade mobile dictation app. Dragon Anywhere Mobile allows you to create, edit, and format documents of any length and share information directly from a mobile device.

Feeling compliance fatigue? Dragon does that for you.

Compliance requirements are constantly changing—and Dragon Professional v16 makes it easy to save time while staying current.

Fast, efficient CRM population

Automate your ability to retain institutional knowledge of client interactions. Dragon makes it easy to memorialize client touchpoints with specificity, supporting a clear chain of custody.

Nuance Management Center

Stay current and distribute the latest disclosures, templates, forms, and legal boilerplate across the organization with a single click.

Conversation coverage

Pair Dragon with a digital recorder to capture your individual “in the moment” insights of a client meeting to be transcribed by Dragon later.
