What's new in Dragon NaturallySpeaking 9?

Dragon NaturallySpeaking 9 is up to 20 percent more accurate than version 8

Expanded language models and improved acoustic training techniques deliver the largest accuracy increase of any release in the history of Dragon NaturallySpeaking. Dragon NaturallySpeaking 9 contains two new technical innovations that improve upon core speech recognition accuracy. The two innovations are: 

PelAudio Acoustic Scale core (PASS)-PASS represents the latest evolution of Dragon's patented approach to speaker-dependent speech recognition. The implementation of PASS in Dragon NaturallySpeaking 9 involves taking a given phonetic element ("Pel") and applying a series of complex statistical and algorithm transformations to create a per phonetic element PASS score that can then be used to develop higher accuracy results with greater confidence. 

SilentAdapt: furthering improve speech recognition accuracy in Dragon NaturallySpeaking nine by providing continuous acoustic adaptation without user intervention. The result is much improved accuracy and a simpler user experience as changes and modifications in acoustics are factored into the user's profile transparently. 

Dragon NaturallySpeaking 9: Supports Enterprise Wide Deployments

Dragon NaturallySpeaking 9 supports Citrix environments, enabling users to dictate from workstations that do not have Dragon NaturallySpeaking installed. 

Dragon NaturallySpeaking 9 makes your unique user speech profile available anywhere on the network, and automatically synchronizes updates and adaptations centrally. 

Dragon NaturallySpeaking 9 includes improved administrative tools that simplify administrators ability to manage vocabularies and custom commands among a community of users. 

Dragon NaturallySpeaking 9: Autotranscribe folder 

Dragon NaturallySpeaking 9 includes an option to create a desktop folder to place digital dictations from a handheld device and have them transcribed automatically. You can create an input to folder for each user which can be coupled to an output folder for that user, thereby streamlining dictation workflow.

Dragon NaturallySpeaking 9: support for new wireless input devices, including Bluetooth microphone

With Dragon NaturallySpeaking 9, you can connect a Bluetooth microphone as an input device, meaning you are no longer tethered to your PC. This can be an ideal way to work when you're using a Tablet PC.

 Dragon NaturallySpeaking 9 also supports many hand-held digital recorders and PDAs that record in .wma, mp3 and .wav formats for deferred transcription. 

Dragon NaturallySpeaking 9: supporting your favorite applications

Dragon NaturallySpeaking 9 supports most current releases of Windows, Office, Internet Explorer, WordPerfect, AOL and with this release we have added support for Mozilla, Firefox and Thunderbird. 

Dragon NaturallySpeaking 9 includes a new "Voice Notations" feature for Microsoft word, which allows users to include un-transcribed instructions for third party editors.
