Details

The Dragon Professional product line uses deep learning-based speech recognition tuned to industry-specific vocabularies (legal, medical, law enforcement). Users speak naturally and the AI transcribes speech into text directly within applications such as Microsoft Office and EHR systems. Both on-premise (individual/group) and cloud-hosted subscription versions (Dragon Professional Anywhere, Dragon Legal Anywhere) are available. No voice profile training is required for the cloud versions.
