With advanced personalization features, like the ability to create Custom Commands and import Custom Vocabularies, Dragon Professional intelligently adapts to the way you work for big productivity gains.
While fully Windows 10 compatible, Dragon Professional 16 has undergone a colossal, year-long rearchitecting and reengineering of its code to ensure optimization for the new Windows 11 operating system. A decided benefit to Nuance having been acquired by Microsoft in March of 2022 is the unprecedented access to Microsoft development assets it afforded the Dragon engineering team. The result is a Dragon that is ideally engineered for today and future-proofed for tomorrow by being supported on, certified, and optimized for Windows 11.
Long known for its state-of-the-art adaptations for those with physical and cognitive disabilities, Dragon's latest upgrade furthers its commitment to the disability inclusion movement with new features like the ability to use Mouse Grid on multiple monitors. And built with accessibility requirements in mind, Dragon can be easily adapted as needed to meet the most stringent compliance requirements for accessibility or industry reporting. The new Dragon Professional 16 is perfect for helping organizations of all sizes take full advantage of their workforce and for building an inclusive workplace.
The Nuance PowerMic 4 has long been a secret weapon of Dragon power users. Think of it as a microphone and mouse in one. Designed as a robust, ergonomic handheld microphone with simplified thumb-control operation, programmable buttons, and integrated mouse functionality, the PowerMic 4 takes personal productivity to all new heights with the integration of a larger pointing device, high pass filter, and added programable buttons.
Dragon gives you robust voice command and control as well as Enhanced Dictation (or Full Text Control), for fully voice-driven editing and command capabilities within many popular business applications that you use every day. Create documents such as reports, emails, forms and notes and zip through computer tasks in record time.
Dragon Professional easily learns acronyms, proper names and other unique or business-specific phrases that you frequently use so it captures your unique words the way you want. In addition, you can import and export your custom word lists.
Dragon Professional supports Nuance-approved digital voice recorders and smart phones for advanced recording functionality and can automatically transcribe the audio files to text back at your PC. It leverages all the accuracy improvements gained from the state-of-the-art speech recognition engine for fewer post-corrections.
The transcription process features a fully streamlined setup for your own voice. Because acoustic and language model adaptation are automatically leveraged for the current user, no special training is required.
Depending on your preference, you may take notes by recording your voice into an audio device for later transcription, or you can work with the Dragon Anywhere mobile app for immediate, professional-grade dictation.

I used to be able to dictate comments easily into Adobe Acrobat professional using Nuance Dragon professional 15. For some time now, I have noticed that it has not worked nearly as well. For example, it usually takes approximately one minute for the dictation to be entered into the comment box within Adobe Acrobat. I have resorted to typing my comment in Microsoft Word and then cutting and pasting into the Adobe comment box. If anyone has any suggestions, that would be great. Thanks.
The AppContainer option basically runs Adobe in a protected sandbox to protect you from any viruses that may be found in PDFs. However, Windows already has a virtual sandbox for this, and this is Adobe's secondary backup. In my opinion, it's not really needed if you're not downloading PDFs from unknown sources.
I am assuming you are on windows, have you tried the windows dictation tools, do they suffer the same delay ? I don't know if this would be an Acrobat or Nuance problem, I would be tempted to redirect your query to users that know the Nuance Dragon program better than we do or to Nuance themselves.
Thanks for your response. I did try using Windows dictation to dictate into Adobe Acrobat. This did not work also. I will reach out to Nuance. In the meantime, I downloaded the free Foxit reader. Nuance is working well with this product. Arvind
Now serving the needs of both individual and group deployments, Dragon is the professional speech recognition solution of choice for sectors including financial services, law, law enforcement, health, education, and human services.
Built on a quarter-century of expertise, Dragon Professional v16 is optimised 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.
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.
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.
(Yes, I look super cool with two Dragon USB headsets on at the same time. But, the Dragon USB headset only has one ear piece with the microphone boom attached, so I just put the other Dragon USB headset on the other ear.)
Dragon Professional Individual has always saved your voice recording file. This means you could close your work and then open up the file at a later date and you could still play back and fix mistakes.
We can see here from the following screenshots that both Dragon Home 15 and Dragon Professional Individual 15 save your text file as well as your voice recording (.DRA) file that goes with it.
Right now, based on writing this review wearing two headsets and using two computers running Dragon Naturally Speaking at the same time, it seems as though both Dragon Home and Dragon Professional Individual have pretty much the same accuracy rate.
VERSION DIFFERENCE: Dragon Home 13 did not play back your voice sample when you were correcting mistakes. You need Nuance Dragon Home 15 to have the advanced correction feature that lets you hear your voice clips so that you can fix transcription errors easier.
A licensed speaker is permitted to create and use multiple Voice Profiles under this license.Voice Profiles can be stored on one or more computers or on a server to allow the speaker to move from computer to computer and still maintain a consistent dictation experience across computers.
So using Dragon Home or Dragon Professional Individual would probably help John a lot because he can just get his ideas down and then later on fix the grammar. (Or, get a copy editor to fix the grammar.)
I was actually impressed with the software because John was just talking naturally and then every now and then Dragon Naturally Speaking would just spit out the entire sentence and it was pretty close to what John said.
I think one of our mistakes was that we had John dictate his entire blog post in DragonPad, and then we just immediately copied that into a Google Doc and started doing our corrections and editing there.
I say a sentence, and then I look to see how many mistakes there are, and then I slow down my writing process and fix the mistake (while also taking note of the dictation error so that I can count the number of errors at the end.)
