Put next-generation speech technology to work. Nuance Dragon Professional expands the boundaries of speech recognition technology for documentation productivity on the PC. With dictation and transcription capabilities that are faster and more accurate than ever before, you’ll spend less time on paperwork and more time on activities that boost the bottom line.

Optimised for Windows 11

While fully Windows 10 compatible, Dragon Professional 16 has undergone a colossal, year-long rearchitecting and reengineering of its code to ensure optimization for the new Windows 11 operating system. A decided benefit to Nuance having been acquired by Microsoft in March of 2022 is the unprecedented access to Microsoft development assets it afforded the Dragon engineering team. The result is a Dragon that is ideally engineered for today and future-proofed for tomorrow by being supported on, certified, and optimized for Windows 11.

Supports both Windows 11 and 10 operating systems

Successfully leverages advancements made in Windows 11
Aligns with the global migration of Windows PC infrastructure to Window 11

Best-in-class accessibility

Long known for its state-of-the-art adaptations for those with physical and cognitive disabilities, Dragon's latest upgrade furthers its commitment to the disability inclusion movement with new features like the ability to use Mouse Grid on multiple monitors. And built with accessibility requirements in mind, Dragon can be easily adapted as needed to meet the most stringent compliance requirements for accessibility or industry reporting. The new Dragon Professional 16 is perfect for helping organizations of all sizes take full advantage of their workforce and for building an inclusive workplace.

Mouse Grid on multiple monitors is critical in increasing the efficiency for those with physical disabilities working with large amount of information

Still stocked with longstanding accessibilities like "Play That Back" proofreading of dictated text, Dragon Professional 16 sets a new standard for accessibility functionality

Faster and more accurate than ever

Dragon Professional 16 expands the possibilities of speech recognition innovation with a next-generation speech engine representing the culmination of 25-years worth of tireless progress and technology advancements. Dragon uniquely brings consistent, optimal accuracy to the PC, with Deep Learning technology and adaptation techniques that continuously adjust to your voice or environmental variations, even while you’re dictating. Dragon Professional 16 provides:

Best ever locally running desktop recognition accuracy
Continuous learning - even during dictation - for individually adapted accuracy improvements that enhance the user experience
Optimal accuracy achieved for speakers with accents or in slightly noisy environments such as in a cubicle environment

Support for the latest applications

Another benefit to being a Microsoft company is unfettered access to the latest applications for the purpose of integration and support. Because Dragon’s effectiveness is tied to how well it integrates with other applications, it's critical that Dragon supports the latest versions just as it's critical that you have the most current version of Dragon. Dragon Professional 16 provides:

New support for Office 2021 while still supporting Office 2016/2019
New support for Microsoft Teams commands
New support for “Modern Comments” in Microsoft Word dictation
New support for Corel WordPerfect 2021

PowerMic 4 support

The Nuance PowerMic 4 has long been a secret weapon of Dragon power users. Think of it as a microphone and mouse in one. Designed as a robust, ergonomic handheld microphone with simplified thumb-control operation, programmable buttons, and integrated mouse functionality, the PowerMic 4 takes personal productivity to all new heights with the integration of a larger pointing device, high pass filter, and added programable buttons.
