Dragon Dictate 3 Price Slashed by Nuance America through September

If you have ever wanted to try voice recogniton technology and you own a Mac this month (September 2013) would be a great time to do it.

Nuance, speech recognition worldwide leaders have slashed a huge $100 off the price of their Mac voice recognition software called Dragon Dictate 3 making only $99.99 for the boxed version, half price.

What makes Dragon Dictate 3 different to the free Dragon app on my iPhone or Android phone? Well there are quite a few differences:

  • Your voice is processed on your Mac not sent to the cloud for processing
  • You are not limited for how long you can dictate, with the app you only get 90 seconds max. of dictation
  • Dragon on the Mac can also transcribe digital recordings of your voice, no need to be in front of your Mac to transcribe your voice
  • Voice profile: on your Mac you create a voice profile tailored to the way you speak and how you sound. The more you use it, the more it learns, the more accurate it becomes

Maybe you dread the idea of typing long emails, writing blogs or essays because of the time it takes. With Dragon you can sit back, put your feet up and just talk, let your Mac and Dragon do all the work.

The Transcription Typists New Best Friend - Dragon NaturallySpeaking

For years now mentioning the Dragon word to a transcription typists would guarantee a reaction, not usually a good one. For a long time typists have heard that Dragon (NaturallySpeaking, the voice recognition software) is coming to get them, or more specifically their jobs, replaced by software.

It hasn't happened although Dragon is starting to encroach into the transcription world it is still slow going.

In our latest blog post we look at the advances that Olympus have made with their ODMS (Olympus Dictation Management Software) in integrating it with Dragon NaturallySpeaking. Specifically we look at the benefits that transcription typists can enjoy by embracing Dragon, namely a lot less typing and a lot more time to do more productive and less repetitive tasks.

We show how the typist still has a key role to play in a business using Dragon. From voice profile creator to voice profile trainer to proofreader of Dragon's transcripts there is still a place for the typist who can now evolve into a voice recognition specialist.
