Dragon Naturally Speaking has announced version 10, a faster, more accurate version of their already fast and accurate version nine.

Dragon Naturally Speaking 9 has been widely described as the most accurate voice recognition software available on the market. After years of voice recognition products that could take dictation and translate it into often-poorly-translated speech, the Dragon Naturally Speaking 9 changed many people's idea about how useful speech recognition software could be.

The latest incarnation, Dragon Naturally Speaking 10, was recently announced. DNS 10 will have several improvements over the last version of the software, including several features to make transcription faster and easier.

The latest incarnation is advertised as having 20 percent more accuracy than the last version. This is a major feature, as accuracy is the major criteria for choosing voice recognition software. The accuracy often determines how well voice recognition software works to improve typing time, as editing the resulting text can take a considerable amount of time for less accurate software.

The latest Dragon Naturally Speaking version also claims a fast overall speed. The claim of more than twice the speed of version nine means that the software will be far more useful to anyone trying to cut their typing time. As anyone who has used version nine knows, the speed can cause the text to back up and require the speaker to wait periodically for the text to catch up with the speech.

Another claim for the speedy version is that the shortcuts have been increased to allow for quicker use for the software. Voice shortcuts allow the user to do things like capitalize letters, make paragraph breaks, add images, etc. These shortcuts are used by speaking a short phrase that orders the software to carry out the command.

Bluetooth Technology

There are a number of Bluetooth microphones that are approved for use with Dragon Naturally Speaking 10. This means that dictation can for the first time be used with wireless technology. This development allows online publishers to dictate their work from anywhere within range of the wireless device and still maintain fast, accurate speech recognition.

For online publishers, freelance writers and anyone who needs to get a lot of words onto a computer in a short amount of time, Dragon Naturally Speaking 10 is said to be the fastest, most innovative voice recognition software on the market. For Dragon Naturally Speaking 9 users, version 10 represents an even faster, more accurate voice dictation system.

For Web Writers

For freelance writers who need volume work to earn residual income, voice recognition software is indispensable. For Web writers, it can be the difference between sore wrists and carpel tunnel syndrome and a comfortable day at the computer.
