NUANCE DRAGON NATURALLYSPEAKING PREMIUM UPDATE

Opening and using apps, addressing and sending emails, surfing the web.

Indeed, with built-in support for Microsoft Word, OpenOffice Writer, Microsoft Outlook, Internet Explorer and Firefox, using Dragon NaturallySpeaking 11 Premium to navigate your Windows PC is a cinch. This makes it easier to access important Dragon NaturallySpeaking 11 Premium features and options. Think of it as a verbal MS Office ribbon (and try not too think badly of it as a consequence). Nuance has tweaked the interface, adding in the all-new Dragon Sidebar, which sits next to open windows, anticipating commands according to what you are doing.

No matter, just as Dragon NaturallySpeaking 11 Premium needs to learn to understand you, you need to get to grips with the way the software works: and this is where the update shines. In terms of corrections, if you're a good typer you may find that the traditional method remains the best. As with any program there are specific commands, and in this instance you need to speak them aloud. Making corrections is not difficult, but takes a modicum of getting used to. Taking notes and composing informal emails by voice requires very little revision and saves time, formal letters and essays are less suited. Just how useful Dragon NaturallySpeaking 11 Premium will be for you depends on how much you use it, and what form of copy you need to dictate. In practice this is impressive and useful, and the more you use Dragon, the better it gets. With a little more work we settled at around 98 percent. The training requires you to read from a set text as the software gets used to your dulcet tones. After completing the initial training, we were able to get around 97 percent. Off the blocks we achieved around 96 percent accuracy.

In our tests this was a little ambitious - but only a little. Nuance claims that Dragon NaturallySpeaking 11 Premium is up to 99 percent accurate out of the box.
