Voice Files On Network

Easy-to-use and highly accurate speech recognition software can improve productivity and speed in a variety of Windows applications, including Microsoft Word, Internet Explorer & e-mail packages.

NaturallySpeaking 6.0 allows network administrators to install and manage Dragon NaturallySpeaking voice files from a central location. Network administrators can create and delete users, update vocabularies and speech commands. NaturallySpeaking operates on any network that provides directory service to Windows®, including Windows NT® and Novell® NetWare®.

Speech files and speech commands are stored on the central server. Users can log in from any PC on the network that has Dragon NaturallySpeaking and use their speech files and speech commands. When users save changes to their speech files, those updated files are available the next time he or she logs in from any PC on the network. Back-ups can be performed using existing back-up software. Portable PC users can copy their speech files to their local drive, alter them while disconnected from the network, and then re-synchronize when reconnected to the network.

You have the ability to run macros or speech commands created by MIS departments or Value Added Resellers. With these commands, Dragon NaturallySpeaking can be customized to work with corporate applications.

Dragon NaturallySpeaking is designed to meet the needs of both corporations and small offices, where individuals need to use multiple PCs within an organization. Network management is an important issue for our customers. But, it is also important to let users access their speech files from any PC on the network. Professionals with a desktop and a laptop PC can access their files from both of them.

Organizations can take advantage of the Dragon Systems Volume Licensing Program allowing them to receive discounts on purchases. These groups may also standardize their sound systems across multiple computer brands by choosing a Universal Serial Bus (USB) solution with their purchase.
