Dragon NaturallySpeaking 8 Professional enables everyone to create documents up to four times faster than typing and protects against repetitive stress injuries like carpal tunnel syndrome that increase insurance premiums and temporary labor costs. It's simple: you can use Dragon NaturallySpeaking 8 Professional to create documents and e-mails, write reports and fill out forms, without having to type at all. Dragon NaturallySpeaking 8 Professional is fully integrated in the Microsoft Office applications you use: Word, Excel, Outlook and PowerPoint. In fact, it works with just about any Windows application.

You can dictate directly into a PC, or be productive on-the-go with dictation into a ScanSoft certified handheld device such as a digital recorder, Pocket PC or Palm Tungsten. It's easy to have Dragon NaturallySpeaking automatically transcribe recorded dictations when you synch with your PC.
