It seems like we just finished singing: "No more paper! No more books!" and kicked off the summer. It's hard to believe, but it's time to start thinking about getting those books together and heading back to school already!
*Cue collective groan from students*
Dragon has always been a helpful resource for students and teachers in terms of not only getting their work done more quickly, but providing a more natural way to get thoughts on paper (err, PC). In Dragon 11, we focused on making it even easier for students and teachers to use Dragon by adding things like a new user interface, a special accent model tuned for younger speakers, and even a Sidebar to help navigate Dragon more quickly and easily.
In addition, we've added new licensing programs to make it simple for schools to offer Dragon to more students and teachers than ever before. Hop over to our news page to see what else is new for students and teachers in Dragon 11.
To see how Dragon can help students going back to school, check out what student Gregory has to say about his experience with Dragon in this video.
And drop by our education page to learn more about how to get Dragon 11 in your favorite student's backpack this year!
Getting started with Dragon is easy! This webinar introduces the basics of Dragon usage, including how to turn your microphone off and on, how to dictate and format text, adding words to your custom vocabulary, and correcting recognition errors.
Dragon 201 Once you've mastered the basics, you're ready to bring your Dragon usage to the next level. This webinar illustrates advanced formatting capabilities, creating and modifying custom commands, using Dragon with Excel and how to use Dragon with a digital voice recorder.
For Education Dragon speech recognition software is used by students of all abilities, particularly those with physical and learning challenges, to improve core reading and writing skills, reduce the stress and pressure associated with homework and reports, and help all students reach their full potential. This webinar outlines core Dragon functionality and highlights specific product benefits for students and teachers.
For Teachers Larger classes, more paperwork, fewer resources. Today's teachers and administrators need to find creative ways to get more done with less in their classrooms. This webinar illustrates how schools and universities leverage Dragon NaturallySpeaking to give more detailed feedback to student assignments in less time; communicate more effectively with students and other faculty via email and online applications; and speed the creation of lesson plans, research projects and other documents.
As the first general-purpose continuous-speech recognition solution for the PC, Dragon’s revolutionary feature was to enable users to, literally, speak naturally – eliminating the tedious word-at-a-time approach that was then state-of-the-art.
When Dragon was first introduced, its primary use was as an assistive technology, helping folks with physical challenges to access the PC. But over the years, Dragon has shown its worth to millions of people the world over in all walks of life, helping them to do more with the PC, faster and more easily.
Who really uses Dragon? To name just a few, we’ve heard from writers, teachers, students, moms and dads, grandmothers and grandfathers, insurance professionals, genealogists, pastors, lawyers and doctors who are using Dragon, and the list goes on. Despite their different circumstances and reasons for using Dragon, each has an amazing story to share about how it has fundamentally changed how they work with their PC.
Today, however, we are no longer connected just to the PC. The world is more mobile than ever before, and we’re all capable of connecting, working, and creating content 24-7 from our mobile devices. That’s why, starting last year, Dragon spread its wings and landed on the iPhone and iPod Touch as Dragon Dictation and Dragon Search, and why this year Dragon Dictation was also one of the first apps available for the iPad, and why Dragon for Email was introduced for the BlackBerry!
In much the same way that Dragon can make working with a PC easier and more effective, so can it create a much more natural interface to these mobile devices. The emails, tweets and comments that we’ve received from folks using Dragon Dictation have been overwhelming, and it’s great to hear how people are changing how they work and play with Dragon right in the palm of their hand.
What lies ahead for Dragon? I think it’s safe to say that the possibilities are truly endless.
