With greater accuracy than ever before, Dragon can be customized with smart format rules that recognize your commonly used abbreviations, numbers and much more so your document always turns out exactly how you want.

So put on the included noise-canceling headset microphone and get to work. You're about to accomplish all of your typing without ever touching the keyboard.
I've been using Dragon for more than 15 years and the product keeps getting better. The setup only takes a few minutes for it to "learn" your voice (15 years ago, it took a half hour). It "understands" 5- and 6- syllable words effortlessly.
