Dictate messages and control the computer with your voice

Dragon NaturallySpeaking is amazing voice recognition software that lets you control the computer with your voice.

It almost sounds like science fiction, but the truth is that Dragon NaturallySpeaking totally surpassed our expectations. It seems that text-to-speech technology has improved a lot over the last few years, and Dragon NaturallySpeaking has clearly taken advantage of it.

The main drawback to Dragon NaturallySpeaking, like with any other voice recognition program, is that it requires some long, boring training – based mainly on reading texts to the computer. Also, the program isn't 100% accurate – something that we expected anyway – but its percentage of right words in dictation still remains certainly impressive.

After training Dragon NaturallySpeaking, the program is quite intuitive and easy to use. The interface is reduced to a small bar from which you can access all the main tools and functions: dictation, reading text aloud, improving accuracy, managing commands and vocabulary... and the best thing about Dragon NaturallySpeaking is that you don’t need to speak to the computer as if you were a robot. Just talk naturally, and it’ll pick it up.

Dragon NaturallySpeaking is seamlessly embedded in Windows, which means that as long as you have it running, you can start dictating in any application, from Notepad to Firefox. And of course, the functionality in Dragon NaturallySpeaking is not limited to dictation: you can also control the computer with your voice: open and close apps, browse the web, view files, and more.

Dragon NaturallySpeaking is, in other words, like one of those amazing voice-controlled computers you see in movies, only that this time it’s on your own PC!

Dragon NaturallySpeaking is an amazing voice recognition tool that lets you control the computer with your voice and dictate texts in any application.

Softonic

In Softonic we scan all the files hosted on our platform to assess and avoid any potential harm for your device. Our team performs checks each time a new file is uploaded and periodically reviews files to confirm or update their status. This comprehensive process allows us to set a status for any downloadable file as follows:

Clean

It’s extremely likely that this software program is clean.

What does this mean?

We have scanned the file and URLs associated with this software program in more than 50 of the world's leading antivirus services; no possible threat has been detected.

Warning

This software program is potentially malicious or may contain unwanted bundled software.

Why is the software program still available?

Based on our scan system, we have determined that these flags are possibly false positives.

What is a false positive?

It means a benign program is wrongfully flagged as malicious due to an overly broad detection signature or algorithm used in an antivirus program.

We’d like to highlight that from time to time, we may miss a potentially malicious software program. To continue promising you a malware-free catalog of programs and apps, our team has integrated a Report Software feature in every catalog page that loops your feedback back to us.

Flag any particular issues you may encounter and Softonic will address those concerns as soon as possible.
