Dragon Software Training
Dragon speech recognition is a great tool for speeding up documentation. However, like any new initiative, understanding and knowledge is the key to success.
Our Dragon Software Training Courses are specially designed to do exactly that.
Whether you need to learn basic Dragon functionality or you'd like to create a more advanced workflow, our training services will be tailored to your needs.
“The Training was excellent, simple and well-explained.” - Greig Mclean, The Berkley Clinic
Our Range of Dragon Software Training Courses
There any multiple versions of Dragon speech recognition software and multiple types of people and businesses that reap the benefits. That being said, no two training sessions are the same.
Each version comes with different features, tips and functionality and thus our sessions must reflect this in order to achieve the best possible outcome.
Please note: Beginner, Intermediate and Advanced versions of every training course are available. Additionally, Dragon Software Training Courses are available on-site and remotely.
Please find the details of each of our Dragon Software Training Courses below...
Every training session we offer is delivered by an experienced Nuance Dragon Certified Trainer, equally our Dragon training is CPD accredited and therefore Continued Professional Development credits can be earned whilst undergoing our training.
Not Your Average Training
For many, when we think of the word 'training' we think of a room full of people listening to the trainer - and let's face it, we've all felt a little sleepy in a training session at one point or another!
That is not what we're about at VoicePower. When we talk about training, we're not just going to show you how to click buttons and open the software - No way!
Our training is more like software development and configuration. Our trainers focus on solution engagement and will help you to create a process that is completely specific to you to improve your workflow; for example, using commands such as "Correct That" to help you rectify any misrecognitions and then auto-texts that allow you to populate frequently used text such as an attendance note template with one simple phrase - Pretty handy right!
Dragon has fabulous productivity features, but they're no good if you don't know they are there and equally there is no point in you learning about features which will never help you. Therefore, we personalise your time with our trainers to your individual requirements, whether these be for productivity gain or accessibility.
We will be there to guide you to using your software in the most personalised, efficient and effective manner to be able to realise your return on investment quickly.
