Dragon Professional Group and Dragon Legal Group have been updated to include a next-generation speech engine leveraging Nuance’s Deep Learning technology – delivering high-recognition accuracy with the ability to learn and adapt to a variety of accents and environments, and making both solutions ideal for large workgroups and a variety of settings.  

Helping organizations create outstanding documentationDragon Professional Group and Dragon Legal Group help organizations unlock the efficiency and cost benefits that are inherent in Nuance document productivity solutions. With advanced speech recognition and robust voice command capabilities, professionals can create detailed and accurate documentation – all in real-time by voice. And with optimization for popular touchscreen PCs, or seamless synchronization across PCs, iOS® and Android™ using Dragon Anywhere Group (Nuance’s cloud-based mobile dictation solution), mobile professionals and field workers can complete detailed documentation or reports, or fill out form-based templates, such as client intake forms, anywhere work takes them.

“Accurate and timely documentation is a critical component of many organizations across a wide range of industries – from financial institutions to social services, and law firms. But if not completed correctly and efficiently, poor documentation can hamper report quality, employee productivity, and increase cost and compliance risks,” said Mark Geremia, Vice President, General Manager of Dragon, Nuance Communications.  “Dragon Professional Group and Dragon Legal Group effectively address these pain points by enabling professionals to use advanced speech recognition and robust voice command capabilities to create outstanding documentation – all by voice. Dragon empowers professionals to work better, faster and smarter - whether they’re in the office or out in the field, saving individuals and organizations time and costs, and improving overall productivity.”
