Key Benefits of Dragon Professional Group
Deploying Dragon speech recognition software across the enterprise will speed the turnaround of more complete, accurate documentation.
Ultimately, Dragon will help users to meet critical deadlines, minimise compliance liability, and reduce outside transcription costs.
Thousands of organisations across industries have put Dragon to work to reduce costs and improve service for bottom-line impact.
Reduce The Administration Double Handling Loop
Professionals creating dictation can quickly dictate and approve in one pass, without needing to see it again.
For those required to manually type this reduces the time taken to create documents and avoids the dreaded ‘double handing’ digital dictation loop.
This is when the dictation is sent for typing, typing is completed, the typed document is returned for approval and sometimes returned back again!
Easy Deployment, Customisation and Management
Dragon Professional Group, along with Nuance User Management Centre, enables administration across multiple Dragon users to save time and reduce support needs.
The enterprise-ready solution makes it easy for IT administrators to:
- Customise the installation and deployment to multiple computers.
- Manage and maintain (modify, repair, upgrade, remove) Dragon and all associated user-profiles and configurations.
You can deploy Dragon to multiple desktops using the built-in Windows Installer (MSI) with customised options.
All Dragon Professional custom commands and vocabularies can be shared, it’s fast and easy to push out customisation updates as needed.
The solution’s centralised administration features allow you to track which employees have created user-profiles and control where they are stored to facilitate licence management compliance.
With control over all user configurations, you can more efficiently schedule maintenance tasks, such as tuning using the Acoustic and Language Model Optimiser.
Share Customisations with Dragon Anywhere App
Dragon Anywhere is a separate, cloud-based app that provides continuous dictation capabilities, letting enterprise users create and edit documents of any length by voice.
The can use their own customised words, shortcuts and commands – directly on an iOS or Android device.
It adapts to a user’s voice and terminology to enable fast, accurate dictation, editing, navigation and formatting within documents from anywhere.
Customisations can be pushed out through Nuance User Management Centre so users can enjoy continued productivity wherever their job takes them.
Whether on their Dragon Anywhere enabled mobile device or their Dragon Professional Group desktop, users gain immediate access to their dictation.
They won’t have to wait or rely on a costly transcription service, so they can spend more time contributing to the bottom line and less time behind a desk completing administrative tasks.
Central Administration of Dragon Professional Group
The Nuance User Management Centre (available separately) provides central user administration capabilities that allow corporations to easily enable and manage Dragon Professional Group deployments.
It helps businesses use licences more efficiently, better meet requirements for reporting accuracy, and centrally manage their Dragon deployments to save time and reduce operating costs.
Drive Productivity with Custom Commands
Dragon Professional Group makes it easy for organisations to create custom commands to automate repetitive or manual processes, integrate them into existing workflows, and share them across the user community.
Because these custom commands can be distributed to multiple users, employees are able to use them for immediate productivity gains instead of having to create them on their own.
Customising Dragon Professional Group
- Open-ended custom commands: Dragon Professional Group allows for custom command types that support open-ended dictation, letting you end the command’s name with any word or phrase in Dragon’s vocabulary.
- Dragon Templates: Filling out forms and files that have fields can be a challenge, but Dragon Professional Group makes it easy to complete the task using your voice. With the ability to add variable fields to a template in any text document, Dragon Professional Group speeds and simplifies the process of filling in commonly used forms.
- Step-by-Step Commands: The Step-by-Step option in Dragon’s command creation wizard lets you automate a series of actions.
- Advanced Scripting: Those with some programming knowledge can use Dragon’s VBA-like advanced scripting to voice-enable specific custom functions on the computer in order to better integrate with your existing applications and workflows. Those without this knowledge can ask their VoicePower trainer to assist in the scoping and creation of these commands.
- Macro Recorder: Use Dragon’s Macro Recorder to record your keystrokes and mouse-clicks, and then save the series of actions under a single voice command.
Enhance Productivity for On-The-Go Employees
With roaming profiles and preferences stored and synchronised in a central network location, users can dictate from a different computer on the network without having to create and train new profiles and preferences at each location.
Users can even continue to use Dragon even if the network is unavailable. If HTTP roaming is configured, the administrator can manage security by setting up username and password authorisation for specific user profiles.
Accessibility and Reporting Requirements
With all its shared customisation capabilities, Dragon Professional Group can be easily adapted as needed to meet stringent compliance requirements for accessibility or industry reporting.
