Dragon
NaturallySpeaking 12 Premium speech recognition software ignites new levels of
personal productivity and convenience by enabling you to interact with your PC

e-mail, search the web, post to Facebook and Twitter, and more. Launch
applications, select menu items, save files, and switch windows using simple
voice commands or create your own custom commands to insert boilerplate text
and/or graphics. Even dictate notes into a digital voice recorder or a
compatible iOS device and Dragon will later transcribe the recorded files into
text on your PC. Dragon 12 Premium is your key to less stress and more success
at home, school, work, or wherever life takes you.

Voice Shortcuts collapse common multi-step tasks into direct voice commands you
can use at any time, no matter which applications are currently active. For
example, say: "Send email to John Smith and Raphael Sanchez" or
"Search maps for financial advisors in Boston, Massachusetts" or
"search Google for 87 divided by 12" and Dragon makes it happen. You
can also say "open top site for Facebook" and Dragon automatically
opens the top-ranked page for these keywords. You can even use voice commands
