Dragon Version 5 is dictation software that listens closely and accurately.

Speech-to-text technology — for speaking into your device to compose a text message, send an email, etc. — isn’t very old, but still shows signs of a hearing problem. When you want to translate your spoken words into written text without having to manually change every ‘ours’ into ‘hours’, you won’t find more accurate software than Dragon. The 5th and latest version of their dictation software is as accurate and easy to use as you’ll ever find, and right now you can get it for $99.99.

Messages and emails are the easy example for Dragon’s usefulness, but you can also fill out reports and spreadsheets, surf the web, capture thoughts on the move, and any other occasion when you might have something to say or document. Adaptive listening software constantly checks for proper spelling of words proper nouns, and there are also a range tools and options not available on your devices’ built-in dictation functions, like custom word lists and audio playback for proofreading, and extra mic options including Bluetooth support.
