From the Manufacturer

Dragon NaturallySpeaking 8 Professional will save you and your organization money because it 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 and your employees 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 Nuance-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.

Key Benefits:

Dragon NaturallySpeaking 8 Professional enables professional PC users to create and edit documents and e-mails, fill out forms, and streamline workflow tasks--all by speaking! Talk to your computer and your words instantly and accurately appear in the full Microsoft Office Suite, plus Corel WordPerfect, Lotus Notes, and virtually all other Windows-based applications.

• More accurate than ever before: with a 25-percent increase in accuracy, Dragon NaturallySpeaking 8 is up to 99-percent accurate and frequently more accurate than typing.
• Faster than typing: Most people speak over 160 words per minute, but type less than 40 words a minute. That means you can create documents and e-mails about three times faster with Dragon NaturallySpeaking 8 Professional. The results are higher productivity, less reliance on support staff, and lower costs.
• Safer than typing: Dragon NaturallySpeaking 8 Professional will help protect people in your organization from repetitive stress injuries like carpal tunnel syndrome--injuries that can cost tens of thousands of dollars in insurance premiums and temporary labor costs. Dragon NaturallySpeaking 8 Professional is Section 508 certified, and designed to meet all your disability management needs.
