Dragon speech recognition software is a game-changing piece of software that has clear benefits in the workplace. Whether speeding up reporting, minimising turnaround time, offering independence or even automating simple tasks, it can revolutionise industries by improving text generation, transcription and work flow.
As celebrated as Dragon is around the office space, it can also make serious in roads for home users. While the home office is the most obvious example of being able to keep productivity high, we’re talking about the non-professional functions of the software.
1. Assignments
Whether students are doing essays for school or assignments for varsity, there are a number of great reasons why Dragon can work wonders for them. Besides getting all the spelling right, the product has also been instrumental in assisting children with dyslexia. Being able to verbalise homework is so much easier with Dragon, which requires dictation in order to convert speech to text. Kids are naturally drawn to computers, which is why it’s a valuable skill for them to pick up so that they can get the edge as early as possible. Not only is Dragon a massive time-saver, which will give them more family and less screen time, but it will be an asset as they begin their professional lives too.
2. Emails
While we tend to think of work when the word email is thrown around, it’s actually one of the things that people can accomplish very easily with Dragon. Consider drafting that long chatty update you’ve been meaning to send to family and friends. Or maybe you’re looking to go one step up by tackling some emails to ensure your inbox is clean by the time Monday rolls around. Using your voice has never been easier when it comes to email, which is a great place to practice your dictation. Imagine you’re on the phone with a friend and just let the words out. Make a mistake? With Dragon, it’s easy to just say “Scratch That” and say it again.
3. Creative Writing
We’ve had some clients use Dragon for meditation to record their thoughts. For many people, one big bucket list item is to write a book. Thanks to Dragon you don’t need to write it by hand and you also don’t need to be a touch typist either. Tending to be more casual, you can use it to write your memoirs… or why not dream up a screenplay or a novel by kicking your feet up and letting your imagination wander.
