About

Dragon Professional is a speech recognition software that enables professionals to create high-quality documentation more efficiently by converting speech into text with up to 99% accuracy. Optimized for Windows 11 and compatible with Windows 10, it serves individuals and groups across various industries, including financial services, education, and healthcare. The software allows users to dictate documents three times faster than typing, supports the transcription of pre-recorded audio files, and offers customization options such as creating custom words and commands to streamline repetitive tasks. Additionally, Dragon Professional v16 includes access to Dragon Anywhere Mobile, a cloud-based dictation solution for iOS and Android devices, ensuring productivity on the go.

About

Whisperstream is Windows-native dictation that runs on your PC. Press a hotkey, speak, and your words are cleaned up, formatted for the app you're in, and pasted into the focused window: your IDE, email, notes, or chat. Audio never leaves your device, because transcription runs locally on your CPU (NVIDIA Parakeet and Qwen3 ASR, 39 languages). On a supported GPU the AI cleanup runs on-device too, with no API key. It removes filler words and false starts, then formats per app: code in your editor, prose in email, a quick line in chat. Every dictation is saved to a private, encrypted local history you can search and replay, and you can import audio files to transcribe meetings and memos. Works offline. No telemetry, no screen capture. $29 one-time, 7-day unlimited free trial. No subscription, no per-minute fees. Built for privacy-critical professionals, Windows builders, and anyone tired of cloud-tied dictation.

Audience

Dragon Professional is designed for professionals across industries such as finance, education, and healthcare who need fast, accurate speech-to-text software to enhance documentation efficiency and productivity.

Audience

Privacy-critical professionals in regulated fields (legal, healthcare, defense, NDA-bound engineering) where cloud dictation fails compliance review and training-data clauses are deal-breakers. Windows builders dictating into Cursor, Claude Code, VS Code, and JetBrains IDEs who don't want code-related speech going to a third-party API. Accessibility and RSI users who need a hotkey-and-speak workflow with no scripting. Writers, academics, and ESL users who think faster than they type and want their speech kept on their own machine.
