Editor's Review
Dragon NaturallySpeaking 11 Professional is industry leader in text-to speech software, offering an unheard of 99% accuracy rate by default. To improve upon this already unparalleled accuracy rate, the software also learns to recognize the user's voice with continued use. The resulting text input is about three times faster than the average typist - at an astonishing 180 words per minute. With such speed and accuracy, even the most mundane and preciously time-consuming tasks can be completed in 1/3 of the time using only the power of voice.
As if the aforementioned features were not enough, users can even dictate text input from a remote mobile device or Bluetooth microphone while they are in a separate room from the host computer. This remote functionality makes the software an ideal solution for tablet PC users that would rather not use their tiny keyboards or sensitive touch screens. Another feature that makes the software an ideal solution for business professionals and companies is the integrated support for large networks, and stringent security features.
Every aspect of Dragon NaturallySpeaking 11 Professional is completely customizable, giving the user complete control over text input and computer functionality through the sound of their voice. The user can even set custom commands to automate repetitive computing tasks such as opening new windows, backspacing, deleting, highlighting, and other mundane yet common processes.
Unlike other text-to-speech solutions, Dragon NaturallySpeaking 11 Professional installs quickly and easily, and does not require any foreknown knowledge. The user simply needs to be able to speak, and the software can literally do the rest. In fact, the software lets users do much more than just input text, as virtually any Windows command can be executed with a preset voice command.
Among the voice command shortcuts already included in the software are email, calendar and browsing commands. The user can send an email to a specific contact simply by stating "send an email to (contact name)". Upon recognizing this command, the software will open the users email client and automatically input the contact name that was spoken by the user. Similar commands can be executed for the Windows desktop, such as file searching, application opening, switching windows, and much more.
The amount of tasks that can be automated via voice command with Dragon NaturallySpeaking 11 Professional are seemingly endless. The limits are defined only by the user's imagination. In fact, most users find the commands that are already included more than sufficient enough to execute every common computing task.
Dragon NaturallySpeaking 11 Professional: What We Liked
Creating new voice commands is as simple as clicking the mouse and speaking a command.
The software is surprisingly accurate and can be trained to recognize the vocal habits of the user.
The remote input functionality makes it easy to record and input text on the go, without having to remain seated at a desk the entire time.
The built-in browser and Windows Explorer commands make executing virtually any computing tasks as simple as speaking a command.
Dragon NaturallySpeaking 11 Professional: What We Didn't Like
If the user has a particularly strong accent then the software can take some time to train for each word.
