This program allows you to effortlessly compose documents, send emails, and surf the web among many other things. What makes Dragon more reputable than its competitors is its capacity to be almost one hundred percent accurate and work on a myriad of different platforms that are compatible with all types of technology. The three predominant features the assistive technology has to offer is speech to text, text to speech and recognition of voice commands.

Dragon facilitates individuals with an array of disabilities by ameliorating their weaknesses and focusing on their strengths.

It can help as an alternative to typing, spelling, and reading text you have dictated.  Dragon is compatible and convenient it’s widely used in schools, nursing homes, offices, and hospitals.

Since I’ve been using this software, I became more confident and self-reliant in my skills and abilities. It has allowed me to effortlessly articulate my thoughts freely, helping me become an avid writer. One of the features that I find most paramount is its ability to accurately edit and make corrections. From my ongoing experience with the software, I can honestly say that doing work is no longer an austere task, but a pleasure that I look forward to every day. I highly recommend this program to anyone who is interested in assistive technology.
