The Preferred Edition includes the ability to create and use custom text and graphics macros.  For example, with this feature one could create a list of email addresses that could be called up by saying, “Bob’s Email,” “Susan’s Email,” “Sandra’s Email.”  In addition, blocks of already-created text could be dropped into the document with a command.  The Premium Edition is best for those one who want to use speech recognition once in a while.  It is great for basic dictation, but the efficiency features are built into the Professional, Medical and Legal Editions.  For example, in the Premium Edition the Natural Language Commands are not available in Microsoft Outlook, Excel, PowerPoint or Lotus Notes.

Professional, Medical and Legal Suites
These give users the full capability of the Dragon NaturallySpeaking program.  The additional features are tools that solve problems and improve efficiency.  With custom commands one can have a full set of easy-to-remember and fast-to-execute commands for navigating, formatting text, and editing text.  CompuTALK provides a set of custom macros that make NaturallySpeaking do what you want quickly.

The SpeakEASY DVD helps the user learn to use Dragon NaturallySpeaking efficiently and teaches how to create custom macros.The Professional, Medical and Legal Suites also come with:

• Delayed Editing.   This feature will save the audio with the text file.  One may edit later or have support staff do the editing.  This is a huge time savings.  No longer do attorneys or doctors need to do all their own editing.  Just dictate the text and have the support staff review the document and edit it right in Microsoft Word!

Learn more about Delayed Edit in the video below:

• Use of Multiple Vocabularies.  A user could have one vocabulary designed for medicine and another vocabulary for personal use.  A single user could also have various-sized vocabularies.
• Roaming User.  This allows users to keep their user profile updated from any networked computer.  The profile could be on a network drive or a single computer’s drive that is accessible to the other computers.
• Custom Macros.  Though it is mentioned above, I must stress again the importance of custom macros.  These macros are easier to remember and they solve problems.  This is the main feature that helps people use Dragon NaturallySpeaking with success and satisfaction.
• Specialty Vocabularies for Legal and Medical Suites.  These vocabularies are optimized for their specialties.   Accuracy is everything.  The right vocabulary will do the best job.

CompuTALK Macros
We provide a set of custom macros for $195 that streamlines the Dragon NaturallySpeaking experience.  They help with correcting, editing, navigating, formatting and much more.  They are intuitive, such as Print File and Today’s Date.  They are easy to remember, such as Delete 3 will delete that many words.

If you plan to use speech recognition for years to come, it makes sense to invest in the program that will help you to be the most efficient.   Having the right macros, vocabularies, and delayed editing will save you time.  To get your work done faster, with easier-to-remember commands, purchase the Professional, Medical or Legal Suite.
