What's New in Dragon 12
There are over 100 new features, improvements and enhancements
in Dragon NaturallySpeaking 12.
Even More Accurate
Improved Accuracy: Dragon 12 delivers up to a 20% improvement in out-of-box
accuracy compared to Dragon 11. This means that Dragon gets you, and you get
things done, faster than ever. And when you do need to make a correction, Dragon
learns, making it more accurate the more that you use it.
Faster Than Ever
Faster Processors Yield Faster Performance: If you use Dragon on a computer with
multi-core processors and more than 4 GB of RAM, Dragon 12 automatically selects
the BestMatch V speech model for you when you create your user profile in order
to deliver faster performance.
Better performance: Dragon 12 boosts performance by delivering easier correction
and editing options, and giving you more control over your command preferences,
letting you get things done faster than ever before.
Enhanced Web Mail
Enhanced Experience with Gmail and Hotmail: Dragon 12 enhances the experience of
using your voice with two of the most popular web-based email applications —
Gmail and Hotmail — offering Full Text Control and commands for the most
frequent actions in Internet Explorer 9, Mozilla Firefox 12 or higher, and
Google Chrome 16 or higher.
Interactive Tutorial
Interactive Tutorial: Proposed at the end of profile creation and available any
time from the Help menu, the Interactive Tutorial in Dragon 12 offers short
progressive simulations to help you practice good dictation, correction and
editing habits so that you can create text efficiently within just a few
minutes. Even experienced Dragon users can benefit from the Interactive
Tutorial.
Option to Automate the Dictation Box
Dragon can automatically display this resizable intermediary box when you
dictate into a text field for which it does not have Full Text Control; that
way, you can enjoy Dragon capabilities such as Direct Editing commands and
capitalization of the first word. (You can disable or enable this on the
Miscellaneous tab of the Options dialog.)
Smart Format Rules
Smart Format Rules: Dragon now reaches out to you to adapt upon detecting your
format corrections – abbreviations, numbers, and more — so your dictated text
looks the way you want it to every time.
More Natural Text-to-Speech
More Natural Text-to-Speech Voice: Dragon 12’s natural-sounding Text-To-Speech
reads editable text—with fast-forward, rewind and speed and volume control—for
easy proofing and multi-tasking. (Available in Home Edition and Above).
Faster Correction
Correction: When it comes to correcting a word or phrase, Dragon now includes
more choices to make it quicker and easier to make a change.
Dragon Remote Mic – Now for Android
Dragon Remote Microphone App for iOS and now Android: Dragon 12 lets you go
wireless with an iOS or Android device and the free Dragon Remote Microphone
App. Turn your compatible iPhone, iPod touch (4th gen), iPad or Android device
into a wireless microphone for use with Dragon over a WiFi network. And it’s
easier than ever to get started – simply use the camera on your device to scan
the barcode that Dragon 12 provides on-screen. (Available in Home Edition and
above).
