Nuance Communications Australia has enhanced Dragon NaturallySpeaking 13 speech recognition software by making navigation and text-entry tasks faster and easier.  

Dragon 13 offers support for many microphone options, including, for the first time, microphones built-in to many of the latest laptops, offering greater freedom and flexibility – no headset required.  Dragon 13 automatically detects which microphones are available to use, so you simply select your preference and start talking. 

Dragon 13 now also supports voice commands and Full Text Control (using your voice to perform direct dictation, text selection or correction and cursor movement within text) in popular web applications such as Gmail, Outlook.com and Yahoo! Mail in Chrome, Firefox and Internet Explorer.  

For example, simply tell your computer to “Open Internet Explorer,” and from there, use your voice to navigate to Facebook, scroll through your news feed and select photos and links.  Or, use your voice to open Gmail, address and compose a message, insert a personal signature and send your note – no typing or clicking required. 

Dragon 13 also features a contemporary, intuitive interface and tutorials
