Did you know that you can create letters, spreadsheets, e-mail about three times faster than ever before? What about surfing the Internet without ever touching your keyboard? Dragon NaturallySpeaking® Preferred speech recognition software lets you work faster and more efficiently.

Just talk, and your words instantly and accurately appear on screen. You can dictate into Microsoft® Word and Excel®, Corel® WordPerfect®, and virtually all your favorite Windows®-based applications.

Save time by inserting blocks of texts or bitmaps such as your name, title, and signature by speaking just a single word. Dictation playback and natural-sounding text-to-speech let you proof your work and make edits quickly and easily. You can also listen to e-mail and other documents aloud. And you can also search the Web, access information, and navigate Web pages by saying URLs and links.

When you want to work away from your PC, you can dictate into any ScanSoft-approved digital recorder and transcribe your documents later. Dragon NaturallySpeaking® Preferred learns to recognize your voice in as few as five minutes, and will even automatically insert periods and commas.
