Speech recognition software: why you need Dragon Professional Group

Working within legal, local government, or policing fields tends to mean countless hours of typing, transcribing, and documenting information. And if your tech’s not up to date, you could be doing the majority of that work manually. Nowadays, that’s just not necessary.

There are a range of digital platforms designed to help businesses run more effectively via automation. For the aforementioned fields (legal, local government, and policing), Nuance created Dragon Professional.

Dragon Professional enables the prompt creation of high-quality documentation through the use of speech recognition software. In other words: you say it, and Dragon transcribes it.

In today’s blog, we’ll be breaking down the flagpole features of this speech recognition software, and detailing the ways in which it could transform your organisation.

Why do organisations need speech recognition software?

Creating and editing high-quality documentation within rigid time constraints can be taxing for an organisation’s staff. Mistakes can lead to compliance risks, the overall quality of the documentation can suffer, and far more time and resources will be spent than necessary. Dragon Professional can significantly reduce - if not eliminate - these problems, boosting productivity and efficiency.

Dragon Professional for the legal sector

Now that we’ve broken down the basics, let’s look at industry-specific examples of how this software helps organisations. First: the legal sector.

If your experience with speech recognition software has previously been limited to the odd text message on your phone, you might be wondering how accurate this software can actually be. Thanks to years of continued development, this technology is now far more than just a novelty; Dragon Professional boasts 99 percent accuracy when converting voice to text. And, thanks to a preloaded vocabulary, that accuracy even extends to niche legal jargon.

Legal documentation can be complex, and there’s very little room for errors or inaccuracies. With Dragon, you can produce the most intricate documents three times as fast as if you were typing.

Dragon Professional for local government

Local government consists of many different departments, each with varying daily tasks. This software, which can be seamlessly integrated with your existing applications, enables these departments to communicate, and collaborate, more fluidly. This synergy is vital for local government, and will result in tangible enhancements to cross-departmental productivity.

Many local councils across the UK have expressed that their correspondence processes are outdated, and therefore inefficient. When your organisation has been relying on manual processes for years - if not decades - it can be daunting to implement such overhauls. That’s why, here at Voice Technologies, we work in close collaboration with council IT departments to ensure the smoothest possible implementation of Dragon Professional, and to avoid compliance risks.

Dragon Professional for policing

Deciphering handwritten notes (often hours after the fact) can be a time-consuming and critical challenge for those working in law enforcement. With the 99 percent accuracy of Dragon Professional, officers can produce incident reports with far more urgency, and with no important details missed. The police force’s responsiveness, and agility, will be greatly enhanced; officers will be spending less time on documentation, and more time preventing crime and protecting their community.

Conclusion

Dragon Professional’s speech recognition software is revolutionising the legal, local government, and policing sectors. As well as providing rapid, accurate transcriptions that will save your organisation time and money, the platform fosters seamless collaboration across departments, allows for real-time incident reports, and can grapple with any amount of legalese. This technology boosts efficiency, precision, and agility. And with Voice Technologies, implementation will be fast and hassle-free.
