When looking up Automated Speech Recognition software for my assistive technology class, I came across software that I was familiar with, as I have seen it in commercials on TV. Dragon by Nuance is voice recognition software for Microsoft Windows and other common text receiving applications by Windows. Dragon software has three different levels to choose from: Home, Premium or Professional that also range in price and vary in what they provide the user. All versions allow audio playback, where the users voice replays what he/she just said as well as synthesized playback of the text that the program generated on the page. The biggest difference between the Premium and Home versions is that the Home version cannot be updated as newer versions come out. The company suggests that if anyone will be a life long user of the product that they upgrade to Premium or Professional. Therefore, as newer versions come out the saved voice file can be transferred to the newer versions.
