During a recent EnableMart Webinar, Nuance Communication Inc. representatives Melissa Henry and David Pashayan shared an overview and demonstration of Dragon NaturallySpeaking voice recognition software.
"Nuance is committed to really changing how people interact with technology, but we really want to help everyone gain barrier-free access to widely used information and communication technologies."
-Melissa Henry, Channel Manager, Nuance Communication Inc.
From the webinar, I discovered 5 compelling reasons to use DragonNaturallySpeaking:
1. Dragon NaturallySpeaking is the leading text to speech program in the world.
"Over 1,200 voice and language scientists and engineers have worked on this product" -Melissa Henry
2 . You can use Dragon NaturallySpeaking to do every thing that you would normally do with a mouse click, a cursor, or a keyboard.
3. Dragon NaturallySpeaking makes it possible to take notes, format papers, research the Internet or send email just by using your voice. The speech to text and text to speech technology is efficient for both professionals and students.
4. This product supports six languages and allows you to dictate naturally up to 160 words per minute. The playback feature reads the text back to you.
5. Dragon NaturallySpeaking has a 99% accuracy rate. This product ultimately improves writing fluency, reading, and spelling.
