Natural-Sounding text-to-speech
Dragon’s text-to-speech capability is a natural-sounding synthesised voice that reads designated text to you. It not only speeds and eases proofreading, but it also supports new levels of multi-tasking.
Features
- 15% more out-of-the-box accuracy than Dragon 12 – means that Dragon understands you, and you get things done, faster than ever.
- Learn from Sent Email tool now works with Web-based email such as GmailTM and Yahoo! Mail® – you have more potential sources to let Dragon familiarise itself with the words and phrases you might write.
- The new Vocabulary Editor interface makes it easy to search Dragon’s vocabulary, add new words and customise each word’s unique properties.
- The Vocabulary Editor lets you search on not only the written forms but also the spoken forms.
- Smart Format Rules enhancements offer even more hints for alternative word written forms – now Dragon 13 adapts even better upon detecting your format corrections – abbreviations, numbers and more – so your dictated text looks the way you want it every time.
- Faster processors yield faster performance: Dragon 13 continues to enhance its ability to choose models and parameters depending on your computer’s resources to deliver the fastest performance.
- For the first profile, it simply assigns the profile name rather than asking you to enter a name – you can always rename the profile later.
- Reading four minutes of text is no longer necessary – Dragon 13 is already accurate right out of the box. You can also go back later to read text to further train Dragon if necessary.
- Dragon 13 no longer asks you to adapt its vocabulary based on documents and emails during profile creation. If you wish to launch the analysis later, you have that option.
- Dragon 13 automatically detects the best audio devices available – you simply select one of the recommended devices that you wish to use
- The microphone check takes a few seconds with just one screen of easy-to-read text.
- DragonBar: The new DragonBar provides clearly indicated controls and automatically collapses when you’re not using it, taking up less real estate on your screen. You can use the DragonBar menu to customise its behaviour. If you’re an existing Dragon user and you’re more comfortable using the classic DragonBar, you can easily switch back to it.
- Learning Center (formerly called the Dragon Sidebar): The Learning Center has been redesigned and enhanced. The top panel, open by default, contains essential commands and advice which automatically change as you switch context to different applications.
- Interactive Tutorial enhancements: The Interactive Tutorial has been redesigned and augmented. Its short, progressive simulations now also introduce the DragonBar, the Learning Center, the Vocabulary Editor, and important options, as well as basic Web navigation and use of Web based email. It is automatically presented at the end of the profile creation process. Even experienced Dragon users can benefit from the Interactive Tutorial.
- Operating System Support: The new DragonBar can be used in both of Windows 8.x interfaces— desktop and modern
