Productivity further increased with enhanced speech recognition software

                   
Speech recognition has already been widely applauded for its ability to increase the efficiency and productivity of a company's workforce. Now, new innovations and capabilities are compounding those benefits, making for an even more valuable solution.

Take, for example, Nuance's Dragon NaturallySpeaking 11 Professional Wireless Edition. Included with the software is a Plantronics Calisto Bluetooth wireless headset that further frees the user from the confines of a keyboard. They now have the ability to comfortably use the software from anywhere within the headset's range.

Also, Dragon 11 is Section 508 certified, meaning it meets government requirements for use by disabled employees. The software can also help avoid injuries associated with excessive typing, keeping the workforce healthy and on the job.

Customized vocabulary options allow users to add unique or frequently used names or industry-specific acronyms and terminology. That allows the software to easily recognize such phrases, adding to its already 99 percent accuracy.

Further customization allows the user to create time-saving macros. Special voice commands make it easier to complete reports and forms, insert frequently used text and graphics and automate certain processes.

For example, a user can merely say "company address" and have their entire corporate address appear in text.  Many professionals find themselves repeating the same thing over and over within their fields, so this can be an enormous times saver.
