Key Features

Next-Gen Accuracy Powered by Deep Learning
Dragon Professional 16 features a next-generation speech engine that continuously adapts to your voice and environment—even while you're speaking. Enjoy higher accuracy from the first use, and even better performance over time.

Dictate Anywhere You Can Type
Turn your voice into text up to 3x faster than typing. Whether you're writing emails, taking notes, or drafting reports, you can dictate directly into most applications or switch between voice, keyboard, and mouse as needed.

Full Voice Control
Edit, format, and navigate entirely by voice. Apply formatting (like bold, italics, or CAPS), select text, and make corrections quickly. Dragon also includes Smart Format Rules that learn how you prefer numbers, dates, and abbreviations to appear.

Custom Vocabulary and Commands
Add your own acronyms, industry-specific terms, or names. Create custom voice commands to insert commonly used text or images—perfect for signatures, templates, or boilerplate content.

Automate Multi-Step Workflows
Save time by creating macros to complete repetitive tasks using a single voice command. For example:
“Send standard sales email” could draft and send an email to your distribution list and print a hard copy—instantly.

Transcribe Audio Recordings
Record on the go with a digital voice recorder or smartphone and let Dragon transcribe your speech when you return to your PC. It supports transcription of your own or a third-party speaker's voice—no training needed.

Works on Touchscreens and Mobile PCs
Optimized for popular devices including touchscreen laptops and tablets, Dragon lets you stay productive wherever you go.

Full PC Voice Control
Launch programs, switch applications, click menu items, and search online—all using just your voice.

Listen Back With Text-to-Speech
Dragon includes realistic text-to-speech, allowing you to listen to your written content as it's read aloud—ideal for proofreading or multitasking.

Microphone Flexibility
Easily switch between microphones—USB, Bluetooth, built-in—without losing your preferences. Great for professionals working in different locations.

Boost Accessibility
Dragon is ideal for users with physical limitations or those seeking to reduce repetitive stress injuries. It provides a hands-free way to work that’s fast, accurate, and ergonomic.
