Dragon NaturallySpeaking® 10 is the most powerful speech recognition software system available today. Used by thousands of professionals, Dragon NaturallySpeaking increases productivity, reduces stress injuries, and saves operational cost.
Because the software is so powerful, it is also quite complex. Due to the lack of comprehensive documentation included with the software, most users enjoy only a fraction of the benefits of Dragon NaturallySpeaking. It's difficult to learn Dragon NaturallySpeaking on your own. Classes are expensive and time-consuming, and video tutorials are often boring and slow.

- you can create your own time-saving commands
- you can add list of custom vocabulary words particular to your profession
- you can use a variety of handheld digital voice recorders with Dragon
- NaturallySpeaking
- you can use your user profile from more than one workstation
And there's more. Chances are, you're only scratching the surface of the capabilities of Dragon NaturallySpeaking Professional Series. To help you understand and use all the benefits of this software, American Dictation Technology Labs is introducing the latest in its "Mastering" series for digital dictation and transcription, called "Mastering Dragon NaturallySpeaking Professional." Two hundred and thirty-seven pages of instruction, guides and helpful hints to help you fully master the software.

Excerpts From The Book
Chapter 5 - User Profiles
Setting Up and Managing Users
Before you can begin using DNS, you must create a user profile. A user profile is an acoustic analysis ofyour voice that DNS uses to recognize your dictation. User profiles also store any changes you make to the vocabulary.
When DNS first starts, you’ll be asked to create your first user profile. Use this opportunity to begin using DNS for the first time. Don’t be afraid of making any mistakes. You can always create a new user profile ifyou choose not to continue using this initial one.
Dictation Sources
One of the powerful features of DNS professional, is its ability to allow you to use multiple input devices. With the same user profile, you can dictate using a noise canceling headset, a portable digital voice recorder, or a desktop microphone. Regardless of what input device you choose to use most often, we suggest you begin using the included headset microphone to create your first user profile. This will give you the best opportunity to not only train DNS to understand your voice, but to train yourself on how to use Dragon NaturallySpeaking.
Later in this section, you’ll learn how to designate multiple input devices for your user profile.
Dictation Sources
