Why choose Dragon Professional and the PowerMic 4?
Dragon Professional has long been an office essential for anyone converting spoken word to text or navigating desktops. When we last reviewed it, we found a highly capable speech recognition tool that impressed us with its high accuracy, deep vocabulary, and range of commands.
Now, version 16 is promising even better results. Optimized for Windows 11, Nuance’s newest tool features faster processing and greater accuracy even in louder spaces. It’s a scalable productivity tool that works for individuals such as medical practitioners, small teams and large organizations.
Boosting productivity further, the PowerMic 4 features a unidirectional, noise‑cancellation microphone and programmable buttons to speed up workflows. The plug-and-play dictation microphone also has “voice fill‑in” capabilities, which let you add recognized text into pre-built templates.
Don’t need a mic? Nuance’s speech-to-text software is available as a standalone product - and it’s subscription-free. Buy the software once and it’s yours to own forever.
