You can select text and apply formatting such as bold, underline, capitals and more, or just speak to make needed changes. Smart Format Rules automatically adapt to how you want abbreviations, numbers and more to appear, so you don’t have to correct them every time.

Create custom voice commands for inserting frequently used text
With Dragon for Mac, it’s quick and easy to create custom voice commands to quickly insert frequently used text. This feature lets you insert a standard reply, a signature block, or other boilerplates by speaking a simple command for significant time savings.

Automate business processes with time saving workflows
Create AppleScripts, Automator Workflows, or shell scripts and let Dragon for Mac activate them by voice to automate simple workflows or multi-step business processes via simple voice commands.

Synchroise with separate Dragon Anywhere mobile app
Dragon Anywhere is a separate, cloud-based app that provides continuous dictation capabilities, letting you create and edit documents of any length by voice - using your own customised words, shortcuts and commands - directly on your iOS or Android device. It adapts to your voice and terminology so you can dictate, edit, navigate and format quickly and accurately within your document from anywhere. Your documents can be shared, custom words and texts synced with Dragon desktop offerings for seamless productivity wherever your job takes you. Gain immediate access to your dictation without having to wait or rely on a costly transcription service so can spend more time contributing to your bottom line and less time behind a desk completing administrative tasks.

Enjoy superior voice command and control in many popular applications
Dragon gives you robust voice command and control as well as Full Text Control (full voice driven editing and command capabilities) within many popular applications you use every day, enabling you to create documents and zip through computer tasks in record time.

Transcribe your recordings from audio files
Dragon for Mac supports Nuance approved digital voice recorders for advanced recording functionality and can automatically transcribe the audio files to text back at your Mac. You may prefer to take notes by recording your voice into an audio device for later transcription, or you can work with the Dragon Anywhere mobile app for immediate, professional grade dictation. Dragon Professional Individual lets you work the way that you want, to optimise your productivity while on the road.
You can also accurately transcribe another single speaker’s voice from pre-recorded audio files or from podcasts. To transcribe an audio file, Dragon checks if your profile needs a transcription source created and will lead you through a training process. If your audio recording is of a different speaker, you must create a new profile. Only a 90 second audio clip of that speaker (instead of the speaker personally present to read a passage) is required for training.

Command and control your computer by voice
Launch applications, select menu items, press keys, switch between windows, search the Web, create and send emails and more all by voice, if you wish. Dragon for Mac gives you the flexibility to:

• Work hands-free, if desired
• Experience more ergonomic comfort when working on your computer
• Feel less stress and strain on your body
• Multitask by using your voice to dictate and execute commands

Choose your microphone option for freedom and flexibility
With automatic microphone detection, Dragon will conveniently show you which microphones are available for you to use. With Dragon for Mac you can also use multiple audio device types within the same profile, enabling you to easily switch to another microphone while keeping all your personalised preferences for accuracy and formatting. This is useful if, for example, you use a USB mic at home, a wireless mic at work and your Mac’s built-in mic when you’re on the go. You have the option to use:

• Microphones built into all MacBook, MacBook Air, MacBook Pro, and iMac computers: You are free to dictate documents and speak commands directly into your Mac without using a headset for optimal flexibility and convenience
• Wireless Bluetooth mic: Use a Nuance certified Bluetooth headset microphone for outstanding wireless performance and the freedom to move while working on your computer
• Any other Nuance approved microphone: See support.nuance.com/compatibility for more information.
