Be more productive on your PC for work, school, or home by using your voice

Dragon Naturally Speaking 13 Premium is perfect if you want a robust speech recognition solution that enables you to accomplish more on your computer in less time by talking instead of typing so you can realize your potential at work, school or home. It lets you dictate documents naturally with up to 99% accuracy and control your computer and applications using simple voice commands for significant productivity gains and reduced stress and strain on your arms, neck or back.

Whether you’re a student, teacher, professor, self-employed worker, writer/blogger, consultant or anyone who spends a lot of time on a computer, you can use Dragon speech recognition to complete everyday tasks or large work projects faster than you ever thought possible.

Dragon makes it easy to:

* Dictate, edit and format letters, articles, papers, essays, spreadsheets, presentations, reports and more — all by voice

* Search the Web to find facts, figures and images for inclusion in assignments and documents

* Take voice notes on the go by dictating into a digital voice recorder or smartphone for later transcription

* Enter frequently used text or graphics into a document with a simple voice command

* Email professors, colleagues, friends and family by dictating, editing and sending messages using your voice

* Speak into a chat client instead of typing to collaborate with peers on projects or to communicate with friends and family

* Talk to fill out online applications, registration forms, shopping check-out fields and more

* Enter and check class schedules, client meetings, kids’ activities and other calendar appointments by voice

* Update your status and check what’s new on social media like Facebook and Twitter

* Multitask by interacting with your computer hands-free to fit more in your busy day

Key Features

Enjoy amazing speed and accuracy

Dictate up to three times faster than typing; your words appear on the screen almost instantly. Speak naturally and Dragon recognizes what you say right out of the box.

Talk naturally at normal speeds and your words appear on screen almost instantly. Eliminate spelling concerns and minimize corrections. Get results the way you want them;

Dragon adapts to your preferences for how words, phrases or numbers are formatted.

Achieve even better accuracy the more you use it; Dragon continues to learn the way you speak and write. Optional advanced training or analysis of existing documents and emails further enhance accuracy.

Be more productive on your computer

Create, edit and format documents—with no spelling mistakes! You can select text and apply formatting such as bold, underline, capitals and more, or just speak to make needed changes.

Smart Format Rules automatically adapt to how you want abbreviations, numbers and more to appear, so you don’t have to correct them every time.

Easily switch between typing and voice so you can use the mode of input you prefer for any given task. Launch applications, control programs, surf the web and switch from one window to another—all by voice.

Create your own custom voice commands to insert frequently used text and graphics. You can also import/export custom word lists.

Work the way you want to

Interact with your computer in a more comfortable and ergonomic manner.

Go wireless with built-in laptop microphones—no headset required! Or, use your smartphone as a wireless microphone. With automatic microphone detection, Dragon will conveniently show you which microphones are available for you to use. With Dragon you can also use multiple audio device types within the same profile, meaning that you can easily switch to another microphone while keeping all your personalized preferences for accuracy and formatting. This is useful if, for example, you use a USB mic at home, a Bluetooth wireless mic at school, and your laptop’s built-in mic when you’re on the go.

Capture notes using a digital voice recorder or compatible iOS and Android devices and Dragon will transcribe the audio for you. Dragon is optimized to transcribe a single speaker’s voice.

Use favorite applications

Control your computer and your applications—whether on the desktop or in the cloud—using your voice. Speak voice commands and use Full Text Control in Microsoft Word, WordPerfect, Notepad, WordPad, and DragonPad.

Enjoy Full Text Control in many popular web applications including Gmail, Yahoo! Mail and Outlook.com, when using Internet Explorer, Firefox or Chrome. Full Text Control allows you to perform direct dictation, selection, correction and cursor movement within the text using your voice.

WARNING - BEWARE - Dragon Software SCAMMERS ABOUND HERE on Amazon also on the big E (auction site)
BEWARE !!! ... of "sellers" .. i mean SCAMMERS !! ....selling this item for under $90. (in the last week alone i've seen a $50, a $38, a $74.99, a $69.99... you get the idea). it will likely also say (in the seller's added disclosure, description, fine print) , or be, a "download with serial key" . and guess what folks?.. for that "steal of a price" ... you won't get any genuine virus free link to D/L from the manufacturer Nuance, rather a link to some RAR file, or disc iso image, from the seller's cloud storage (full of who knows WHAT kind of malware and viruses if you're silly enough to actually click the link and download the file), and of course, the serial key will NOT be a genuine Nuance issued serial number good for activation and registration for licensing and support, but will rather be a FAKE or "CRACK" key code produced by an illegal "KeyGen" (serial key generator) program. the sellers' are often based abroad, in Russian Federation, China, or the "Maldives" (wherever that is).. but yes, sometimes USA based sellers as well. i would list a few sellers names, but it's easy enough for you to spot these SCAMMERS with the info i've outlined so far. another hint, the ETA shipping delivery, is always about a month out. enough time that you'll have a hard time opening up a A-Z claim, as that shipping time frame must pass first.
