Dragon Speech Recognition for education

Academic empowerment for all

Find your voice and fulfill your potential with speech recognition software that allows you to write as fast and as fluently as you think.

Educational benefits

Make words work for you

Dragon transcribes your words into text and reads them back to you so you can edit until you are satisfied. Use Dragon to read aloud anything from homework instructions to incoming email.

Let Dragon do the typing

For those who find typing physically or cognitively taxing, Dragon provides an easier, more intuitive way to write—and research—simply by speaking. It keeps pace with your train of thought, transcribing up to 160 words a minute.

Accessibility features support full command and control

For users with accessibility requirements, Dragon supports verbal commands to navigate documents. Use your voice as a mouse alternative, speaking to browse and search the web or to perform simple calculations.

Lesson plans at the speed of speech

Dictate lesson plans, syllabi, reading lists, worksheets, and more three times faster than typing, with superior accuracy.

What customers are saying about Dragon

I am a sophomore at Dominican University. I have spastic quadriplegic cerebral palsy. Throughout high school, blogging, and now college, Dragon has been an invaluable tool in helping me put down my thoughts on paper in an efficient and effective way.

David G.
Student

For our 12 year old son, school was a nightmare. His Asperger’s made the work tedious, his dyslexia was frustrating, and his dysgraphia made handwriting extremely difficult and exhausting... Alex has been able to write wonderfully imaginative stories with the help of Dragon.

A parent

Because of [Dragon] I can write more intelligently than before. This is not because I did not have a good vocabulary I just did not know how to spell the words that would give my writing power…. It has helped me and countless others achieve their goals in life.
