Dragon DSA – Current situation!!


   • Unclear and confusing market messages
   • Multiple offerings through PC World, Curry's Dixons, Amazon… etc
   • No current dedicated version for DSA
   • Market pricing is too confusing
   • Often cheapest version selected
   • DNS Home & DNS Premium do NOT provide adequate functionality
   • Risk of untrained partners delivering and training the user.
   • No standardised education/knowledge within assessment communities
Why does there need to be dedicated solution?


   • Incorrect product version often does not satisfy the basic legal and DSA /
     SFE requirements.
   • Correct version, without this, the and level of training the end result and
     experience could be detrimental to both the student and their career.
   • Assurance, that everyone who needs speech recognition will receive a
     standard build of software and importantly the best qualified training.
Dragon DSA – Why is it different?

• Save audio with text dictation
    • Dragon saves the original voice files for synchronised playback (automatically
      located in the same folder as the transcribed text file)

• Customised commands
    • Personalised commands provides the user with their own unique commands to
      control other apps e.g. Screen reading, magnification, mapping tools etc

• Custom vocabularies
    • Create or import specialist vocabularies to enhance the Dragon dictionary eg
      Legal, Medical, etc…

• Network “roaming profile”
    • Leverage hot-desking in the studying environment where the user profile can be
      held centrally.

• 3rd Party Windows Compatible Applications
    • Full command & control over the majority of 3rd party apps e.g. (Subject to testing)
Dragon DSA – Why is it different?

• Standard applications
    • Full support and control for MS Office Outlook 2003, 2007 as well as entire MS Office
      2010 suite!
    • Technology and versions (e.g. V11.0) sully supported by DSA / SFE and the
      manufacturer.

• Education / Training / Support
    • SFE / HE / FE & Universities will be assured that their student is receiving the correct
      solution from the beginning.
    • An officially Dragon Accredited trained and accredited partner to deliver training and
      support.
    • Full Software Maintenance Assurance availability to future proof against new releases.

One person who has benefitted from using Dragon is
Robert Cantwell. He explains: “I am disabled and I only
have the use of my right hand. Typing is slow and
laborious. A friend introduced me to Dragon
NaturallySpeaking and overnight the ability to write in an
efficient manner was presented to me. It has afforded me
now an opportunity to pursue a course in a University
where I will use Dragon NaturallySpeaking as a tool to
hone my writing abilities and become a legal eagle.
Dragon NaturallySpeaking is a very significant resource
for me, and I commend it wholeheartedly to anyone in my
circumstances.”
“I can’t say enough about what NaturallySpeaking has
done for my teaching, and I can say
with certainty that this program will be an important part of
my teaching for years to come.”
Mike Fejes, School Teacher
RADAR One Voice Coalition ‘Technology Provider of the Year
Award’ 2010

                                  personal lives.
Amy Blafer:

"Shortly after starting my dissertation, I found out that my son had dyslexia.
He has spent the last two years learning to read, but he is still unable to get
his ideas on to paper. Dragon has allowed his ideas to fly onto the page as
fast as he can think them up. Dragon has turned his disability to an ability."
William O.
In the late 1990's I developed severe macular degeneration and in the space of a couple of
years became unable to read even a magnifying video monitor. JAWS, a screen reading
program, compensated for this deficit. Shortly after that, however, some nerve damage caused
to lose effective function of my right hand, so that I was no longer able to write or use the
keyboard. I am a psychiatrist/psychoanalyst and it is necessary that I keep some notes about
my patients. Because of the confidential nature of the information it is out of the question to
dictate these to a secretary. As a result for several years I had to rely on my memory (which
fortunately is quite good!). Dragon Naturally Speaking has proved invaluable in enabling me to
deal with this problem. I now use it with JAWS, with JSay as a bridge to Dragon Naturally
Speaking. Instead of using the microphone I dictate into a model #9350 Philips Digital Pocket
Memo (compatible with DNS) and download this into the computer. This allows me to do my
dictating any place I happen to be and gives me more freedom. In addition, I have learned the
keystrokes that allow me to print a hard copy. If I wish to review some of the material later I
can scan it into OpenBook, another screen reader, which then reads it aloud to me. My
disabilities remain unchanged but, thanks to Dragon Naturally Speaking, I have been able to
adapt comfortably to the disabilities and continue to use your wonderful program. [Biographical
note by Mrs. O…: This amazing man is 90 years old and still in full time practice of medicine,
thanks in part to DNS.]

  • 8. One person who has benefitted from using Dragon is Robert Cantwell. He explains: “I am disabled and I only have the use of my right hand. Typing is slow and laborious. A friend introduced me to Dragon NaturallySpeaking and overnight the ability to write in an efficient manner was presented to me. It has afforded me now an opportunity to pursue a course in a University where I will use Dragon NaturallySpeaking as a tool to hone my writing abilities and become a legal eagle. Dragon NaturallySpeaking is a very significant resource for me, and I commend it wholeheartedly to anyone in my circumstances.”

  • 13. Amy Blafer: "Shortly after starting my dissertation, I found out that my son had dyslexia. He has spent the last two years learning to read, but he is still unable to get his ideas on to paper. Dragon has allowed his ideas to fly onto the page as fast as he can think them up. Dragon has turned his disability to an ability."
  • 14. William O. In the late 1990's I developed severe macular degeneration and in the space of a couple of years became unable to read even a magnifying video monitor. JAWS, a screen reading program, compensated for this deficit. Shortly after that, however, some nerve damage caused to lose effective function of my right hand, so that I was no longer able to write or use the keyboard. I am a psychiatrist/psychoanalyst and it is necessary that I keep some notes about my patients. Because of the confidential nature of the information it is out of the question to dictate these to a secretary. As a result for several years I had to rely on my memory (which fortunately is quite good!). Dragon Naturally Speaking has proved invaluable in enabling me to deal with this problem. I now use it with JAWS, with JSay as a bridge to Dragon Naturally Speaking. Instead of using the microphone I dictate into a model #9350 Philips Digital Pocket Memo (compatible with DNS) and download this into the computer. This allows me to do my dictating any place I happen to be and gives me more freedom. In addition, I have learned the keystrokes that allow me to print a hard copy. If I wish to review some of the material later I can scan it into OpenBook, another screen reader, which then reads it aloud to me. My disabilities remain unchanged but, thanks to Dragon Naturally Speaking, I have been able to adapt comfortably to the disabilities and continue to use your wonderful program. [Biographical note by Mrs. O…: This amazing man is 90 years old and still in full time practice of medicine, thanks in part to DNS.]
