Speech Recognition Services

I offer five Dragon services:

Assessment and Training

I have more than two decades experience as a Dragon assessor and trainer. Over the years I have introduced Dragon to hundreds of people, including doctors, lawyers, professors, writers, journalists, office workers, and university students. I have also led workshops for other trainers and advanced users.

I offer both in-person and remote Dragon assessments and training.

Coaching and Workshops for Experienced Dragon Users

Overview

I help Dragon users work faster and more accurately, with less frustration and downtime.

Dragon users often complain about the program's accuracy, stability, and user-friendliness. However, when approached with understanding, Dragon can be highly accurate, stable, and a pleasure to use.

With over 20 years experience with Dragon, I've developed effective strategies to circumvent many issues, and teach others to master Dragon.

Sessions are available both in-person and virtually. I offer individual coaching sessions and group workshops. Clients generally benefit from one to three sessions, although there is no minimum requirement.

Topics

My goal is to double your productivity with Dragon.

Custom Dragon Commands

I develop commands for Dragon that automate complex, multi-step processes. For example, instead of saying ten commands to perform a task, a Dragon user can say one custom command that does exactly the same thing. Custom Dragon commands save time, effort, and frustration; and are less likely to misfire and cause mistakes.

I also "voice-enable" Dragon-unfriendly applications. Using custom Dragon commands makes it possible to control unsupported applications reliably, efficiently, and intuitively by voice.

Read a story about how I voice-enabled a complex application.

Dragon for Unsupported Accents and Speech Difficulties

Dragon does not work well for people who have certain accents, or who have speech-related disabilities. I use special training protocols to help Dragon respond more accurately to these individuals.
