Frequently Asked Questions

  • How good is Dragon and will it help me?

    Although it has had a poor reputation in the past, Dragon is now very good and very accurate.

  • Why do I need training?

    Dragon will allow you to do much more than dictating text and I believe training is useful to show you how to get the best out of it quickly.

    I also see people who have not taken any training making the same mistakes over and over again, and this is a shame because it is so good.

  • Why speech recognition?

    Two main reasons...

    1. If you do a lot of typing, Dragon will help you do this three times faster and this course will show you how to write 120 words a minute
    2. If you struggle to write for any reason, Dragon will remove this barrier
