Dragon NaturallySpeaking Pro 3.5 Features Paul Jones
Dragon NaturallySpeaking comes with so many features that it would be ridiculous to try to cover them all in any detail. Suffice it to say that there are many, all very, very good. Their vast numbers won't stop me from at least listing them, however, so here they are. Feast your eyes:
Features
True Continuous Speech - Speak to your computer naturally and at a normal pace without pausing between words. Your words are immediately transcribed on the screen and into your documents.
Highly Accurate - 95% to 98%. BestMatch™ recognition technology reduces errors by 25% to achieve higher accuracy than ever before.
Design Macros - Create your own custom speech commands for automating tasks and entering boilerplate text into documents, reports, and correspondence.
New, Larger Vocabulary - Spelling, pronunciation, context recognition, and word usage information is included for a total vocabulary of 230,000 words. You can select a comprehensive active vocabulary of 30,000, 45,000, or 55,000 words.
Integrated with Microsoft Word 97 and Corel® WORDPERFECT® 8 - Easily edit, format, or correct words and phrases with NaturalWord™ and the Select-and-Say™ feature. Say "select" followed by replacement text or such natural commands as "bold that" and "move to top of document" and your editing will be done. Control keystrokes and your mouse by speaking.
Natural Language Commands - With natural language commands you don't have to memorize a set of fixed commands to edit, format, and navigate in Microsoft Word 97. Just state the commands in the manner natural to you.
Dictating on the Go - With NaturallyMobile™ you can transcribe dictation you have recorded and saved with a handheld recorder directly to your PC. Create a file of your own voice, which you can send electronically to anyone who will be working with your files.
Dictation Playback - Check accuracy of content and intent by listening to what you said as it is played back to you in your own voice.
Text to Speech - For accurate editing and proofing, the computer reads back your text as it appears on the computer screen.
Learns Your Voice - Learns most dialects, accents, and individual pronunciations quickly and automatically.
Multiple User Support - Many users can create their own voice files and store them on the same computer.
Expanded Select-And-Say™ Functionality - Select-and-Say will work with a much wider set of products. We have tested GoldMine, ACT™, Microsoft WordPad, Microsoft Outlook, and Microsoft Chat 2.0 and 2.5. However, we believe that a much broader range of applications will work.
Control Windows Desktop By Voice - Users can open Windows applications from the start menu, navigate menu items in Microsoft Office® 97 and some other applications, and switch between Windows applications by voice.
Improved Formatting By Voice - Users can dictate numbers, email addresses, and more using natural language. For example, a user could say "Sixty-seven dollars and twenty-six cents," and see $67.26 appear on the screen.
SAPI 4.0 Support - Support for industry standard API ensures that Dragon NaturallySpeaking will seamlessly integrate with future speech-enabled Windows applications that employ this standard.
