*** Dragon Professional Individual Version 15 Speech Recognition Software ***
Overview:
In many professional jobs, tasks like writing, editing and formatting documents, sending emails or filling out forms require that you spend a large part of the workday typing on your computer instead of focusing on clients and other important projects that contribute directly to the bottom line.

- Transcribe your recordings from audio files - Dragon Professional Individual supports Nuance-approved digital voice recorders for advanced recording functionality and can automatically transcribe the audio iles to text back at your PC.

Dragon Professional Individual lets you work the way that you want, to optimize your productivity on the road. For added flexibility you can accurately transcribe another single speaker’s voice from pre-recorded audio files or from podcasts. To transcribe an audio file, Dragon checks whether your profile needs a transcription source created and leads you through a training process. If your audio recording is of a different speaker, you must create a new profile. All that’s needed for training is a 90-second audio clip of that speaker; he or she doesn’t need to be present to read a passage.

- Choose your microphone option for freedom and flexibility - With automatic microphone detection, Dragon will conveniently show you which microphones are available for you to use. Dragon Professional Individual lets you use multiple audio device types within the same profile, so 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 wireless mic at work and your laptop’s built-in mic when you’re on the go. You have the option to use:
