First-to-Market Mobile App Lets Dragon Follow You from Your Desk
to the Field and Beyond, Creating a Cross-Device Dragon Experience to
Maximize Documentation Productivity
Nuance
Communications, Inc. (NASDAQ:NUAN) today announced Dragon Anywhere,
a cloud-based mobile application available this fall for iOS and Android
that delivers Dragon’s powerful voice dictation and documentation
productivity capabilities to mobile devices for the first time.
Designed for the mobile workforce, Dragon Anywhere brings
professional-grade continuous dictation to iOS and Android smartphones
and tablets, enabling users to create and edit complete reports and
documents, capture detailed notes, and more, while on the go. This new,
cloud-based mobile app empowers field workers, lawyers, social workers,
insurance adjusters, public safety officers, and other professionals to
keep up with documentation demands even when they are away from their
desks.
With Dragon Anywhere, professionals can finish a meeting, a site visit,
an inspection, or other work in the field and begin documenting the
interaction on their mobile device—while the information is still fresh
in their mind – to produce more accurate and detailed reports. Because
dictation is captured immediately, they can review and correct on the
spot, without having to transcribe a recording later or pay for costly
transcription services, which often take days to come back.
Further, Dragon Anywhere creates a powerful cross-device experience,
enabling Dragon users to quickly and easily access documents saved to a
preferred cloud service from their desktop. Customized vocabularies and
auto-texts are also shared across an entire Dragon experience with
Dragon Anywhere’s ability to sync with
the new Dragon Professional Individual and Dragon for Mac.
Dragon Anywhere offers:
-
Fast dictation and high recognition accuracy
-
Continual learning of a person’s unique voice for improved accuracy –
the more Dragon Anywhere is used, the more accurate it becomes
-
No time or length limits on dictation; professionals can speak as long
as they want to, capturing all of the details needed for complete,
accurate documentation
-
Robust voice formatting and editing options, including the ability to
select words and sentences for editing or deletion, navigate through
fields of a report template, and apply common formatting like
underline, bold and italics
-
Support for auto-texts – frequently-used text passages such as client
or work order descriptions—that can be saved and inserted as a
dictation command (e.g., “Insert client details.”)
-
Support for custom words, allowing professionals to add
industry-specific terminology for even better dictation accuracy
-
Support for simple importing and exporting to and from popular cloud
document-sharing tools like Dropbox and saving to note-taking apps
like Evernote, so work can be continued from a mobile device or on a
desktop
Dragon Anywhere can also be deployed across an enterprise and managed
through the Nuance
User Management Center. Custom words and auto-texts can be easily
managed by an IT administrator and deployed to employees using the app.
“For years, professionals across industries have relied on Dragon on
their PCs and Macs for completing the documentation and paperwork
requirements that are critical to their businesses, and we are excited
to extend that experience to mobile devices with Dragon Anywhere,” said
Peter Mahoney, Senior Vice President and General Manager of Dragon. “By
leveraging the cloud, Dragon Anywhere provides sophisticated dictation,
editing, and formatting capabilities not offered by any other mobile
voice dictation application, ensuring that professionals can stay
productive wherever their work takes them.”

Dragon Anywhere will be available in English in the US and UK via the
App Store and Google Play in fall 2015 as a subscription-based
application. More
