Stop Typing, Start Talking
Because typing is slow, sometimes it’s hard for the keyboard to keep up with
your brain. With Dragon Home, you can say words and watch them appear on
your computer screen in OpenOffice Writer, Microsoft Word, Microsoft
Outlook, Internet Explorer, and more.
Speak Commands and Your Computer Obeys
Just tell your computer what you want to do, such as ”Delete line,” “Copy
that,” “Make that red,” or “Open Microsoft Word,” and Dragon will complete
the task. The Dragon Sidebar lets you see important voice commands and tips
at anytime without interrupting what you’re doing.
Enjoy a Personalized Experience
Dragon Home recognizes how you talk and what you say. It learns your voice
better over time—even if you have an accent. You can personalize Dragon with
your own word and formatting preferences tailored to what you do and how you
do it.
Works with Most Windows Applications
Create documents, manage your email, or surf the Web—all by voice. Dragon
Home allows you to enter text and control the application menus for nearly
any Windows-based application.
