Related: Intel Says Future Ultrabooks Will Come with Touchscreens, Voice Recognition As using the laptop’s built-in microphone with Dragon was explicitly discouraged, so I used the bundled USB-based microphone for all the tasks in this review.
Dragon requires 3.2GB of storage space for the English version. The boxed review set I received from Nuance came with DVD installation media, a Quick Reference Card and a wired microphone with single-sided ear cup. The specifications are probably not an issue with newer laptops-just don’t expect to use it on a first-generation netbook or 5-year-old laptop. A minimum of a 1GHz Intel Pentium or 1.66 GHz Intel Atom processor is required the installation software will not install if the minimum requirements are not met. On the hardware front, Nuance recommends a PC equipped with 2GB of RAM and a 2.2 GHz Intel dual core processor. (More on this later.) Dragon NaturallySpeaking 12 Installation and Initial Setup Most importantly, Dragon Professional comes with transcription tools such as an auto-transcribe folder agent capable of performing transcription in the background. The toolset includes Macro Recorder, VBA-style scripting or the organizing of custom commands in custom groups. Individual power users, though, will be more interested in its capability to create custom commands to automate frequent or repetitive tasks. The Professional edition supports profile administrative capabilities geared towards enterprise deployments it will also function over Remote Desktop Connection from a local Windows computer on which Dragon is not installed. You can see a full breakdown of the differences here.
Along with the voice-recognition improvements and overall enhancements listed above, this version comes with various features not found in the Home ($99.99) or Premium ($199.99) editions. I evaluated the Professional edition (599.99) of Dragon NaturallySpeaking. Comparing Dragon NaturallySpeaking 12 Editions In all, Nuance touts more than 100 new features, improvements and enhancements in Dragon 12.
