Philips SpeechLive also offers integrations with iManage and Actionstep. Book a demo today for more information on taking advantage of these seamless integration options.

Auto-text templates within Dragon are pre-defined text templates. Users can quickly create and insert these templates into their documents using voice commands. This allows users to speed up the creation of repetitive or standardized content, such as emails, reports, and forms. You can generate documents by simply speaking a designated command, which saves time and greatly boosts your productivity.

How accurate is Nuance Dragon software?

Professionals recognize Nuance Dragon for its high level of accuracy. This speech recognition software boasts accurate recognition rates of up to 99%. Certain factors can impact the accuracy, including audio quality, audio input, background noise, accents and individual speaking style. We therefore recommend using our dictation software with dedicated Philips dictation microphones, such as the Philips SpeechMike Premium Touch.

By correcting and adding words to a user’s speech profile, you can train and improve the software. Over time, it will achieve even higher levels of accuracy as it adapts to your voice.

How to use Dragon speech recognition software with Philips SpeechLive?

SpeechLive integrated with Dragon offers a powerful speech recognition solution for busy professionals. Nuance Dragon speech recognition software offers two main ways to simplify your work. 

First, you can dictate directly into your favorite applications. Simply place your mouse cursor in any text field and start speaking. You can watch as your words appear instantly within any Windows program, such as Office, case management or CRM software.

When used with Philips SpeechLive, Nuance Dragon can even transcribe audio files. You can record these files directly using a smartphone app or a web browser, or upload them from a dictation device. The software automatically links each text with its corresponding audio file. This makes it easier for authors and assistants to make quick corrections, review texts and finalize their work.

Is Nuance Dragon speech recognition available for Mac computers?

Not all features are currently available for Mac users. Users need to install the Nuance DragonBar software tool to use real-time speech recognition or dictate directly into applications. However, this tool is only compatible with Windows PCs. Mac users should use the transcription feature, which allows audio files recorded via a smartphone app, web browser, or dictation device to be converted into text.
