Key Features in Dragon NaturallySpeaking® Preferred 8

*NEW* A Breakthrough In Speech Recognition Accuracy
Dragon NaturallySpeaking 8's improved speech engine is 25% more accurate than version 7.

Integrated With Your Favorite Applications
Simply install Dragon NaturallySpeaking 8 Preferred, and nearly every Windows application on your PC can be controlled by voice. Complete integration with Microsoft Word and Microsoft Excel, including the 2003 editions, with desktop, laptop and Tablet PC systems supported.

Navigate Your Desktop By Voice
Launch or switch applications, save or print documents, and more, using menu commands for all standard Windows®-based applications.

Get started quickly
Teach the software to recognize your voice in as few as five minutes.

Easy Proofing
Say "Play that back," and the software will play back what you just said and highlight the corresponding text for easy proofreading.

Eliminate "ums" and "ahs" from your dictation
The built-in Nothing But Speech (NBS)™ technology increases accuracy by filtering out inadvertent fillers and sounds between words.

Use spelling, numbers, commands only, and dictation only modes
Increase your accuracy when completing specific tasks by voice by using optional spelling, numbers, commands only, and dictation only modes.

Control the mouse by voice
Use multiple methods-including commands like "Move Mouse upper left" - to work hands-free.

Work on the Web by voice
Search the Web, access information, and navigate Web pages by speaking URLs and links.

Voice Commands Do Even More
Say "insert signature" and your e-mail signature and logo automatically appears!

Be Productive On-The-Go
Use your Pocket PC, palmOne Tungsten or digital recorder to capture your dictation, and let Dragon NaturallySpeaking 8 Preferred automatically transcribe it. Palm OS Dragon Recorder software included free!

Format and Edit by Voice
Yes, you really can use your PC completely by voice, including formatting and editing. Select some text and say "Bold that" and the text is bolded. Say "Make it bigger" and the font size is increased. Creating e-mail and documents couldn't be any faster or easier.

Say It Naturally
Unique Natural Language Commands mean you don't have to memorize complex instructions. In Excel for example if you say "total that colum," the figures will be summed without requiring any complex formulas.

Avoid Repetitive Strain Injuries
By using your voice to control the PC and create documents, you reduce exposure to repetitive stress injuries. If you suffer from arthritis or carpal tunnel syndrome, Dragon NaturallySpeaking 8 Preferred will change the way you work with a PC.

Natural Punctuation
When dictating casual writing styles, you no longer have to say "period" and "comma".

Listen to text in the most human-sounding voice available
Hear any text, such as incoming e-mail, read aloud using Text-to-Speech (RealSpeak™ 2 text-to-speech software).

Import or export your user profile
Save your profile on a portable storage device, such as a CD-R or USB drive.
