Impressive advances have been made in both microphones and digital recorders in the last 2 years. Working with out of date microphones and recorders can detrimentally effect your efficiency. If speech recognition is important to your workflow, we recommend checking out our new Microphone Comparison Chart where you can view our latest microphone test results which compare pricing  accuracy, noise cancellation, features and even comfort.


If you are a student, teacher, professor, self-employed worker, writer/blogger, consultant or someone who spends a lot of time on a computer, you would want to be the most productive with all your computing tasks to fit more in your busy day. Using a keyboard and mouse as your primary computer interface can be slow, require a lot of correction and cause stress and strain on your arms, neck or back, even if you are a fast typist. What if you had another way to interface with your computer that is natural, accurate and fast to boost your productivity potential?

 

Dragon NaturallySpeaking 13 Premium speech recognition software lets you accomplish more on your computer quickly and accurately using your voice. Dictate and edit documents, send email, search the web and use social media with unparalleled speed, ease and comfort. Stop typing, start speaking and start doing.
