Nuance Unveils Dragon Express in Mac OS App Store
New Dictation App for Mac OS X Lion Provides Simple, Fast, Accurate
Introduction to Voice Recognition
BURLINGTON, Mass., – November 10, 2011 – Nuance Communications, Inc., (NASDAQ:
NUAN) today announced the immediate availability of Dragon Express, an introductory voice
recognition app for Mac OS X Lion. Dragon Express is an easy and fun way to put words to
work without the hassle of typing, allowing users to do more in less time. Dragon Express is
available exclusively for download from Apple’s Mac App Store.
Dragon Express is the latest member of the Dragon family of speech recognition software that
lets people control a computer with their voice. It’s the fast, hands-free way to turn speech into
text, whether sending email, surfing the Web or posting an update to Facebook and Twitter.
Dragon provides an easy, natural way to get more done in less time. Dragon Express is priced to
provide the broadest range of people with an opportunity to experience the power and
performance of speech recognition.
“Dragon Express is a great app for those who are new to speech recognition or who are looking
for an easy-to-use dictation tool that allows them to use their voice instead of typing,” said Peter
Mahoney, senior vice president and general manager, Dragon, Nuance. “For those looking for a
more full-featured speech recognition program, we recommend Dragon Dictate, which provides
the full capabilities of advanced speech recognition technology.”
Dragon Express can be conveniently accessed from the menu bar at any time and doesn’t require
a network connection. Users dictate directly into the Dragon Express window, using the internal
Mac microphone or a USB headset microphone (which can be purchased via www.nuance.com),
and the text instantly appears in the Dragon Express window. When finished, Dragon Express
places the transcribed text into the application of choice. The download comes with a short
enrollment so that the app can better recognize a user’s unique voice.
Dragon Dictate, the most full-featured and advanced speech recognition software for Mac OS,
was recently updated to version 2.5. Dragon Dictate 2.5 includes many features beyond those in
Dragon Express. These features include the ability to dictate directly into applications, edit,
format and correct recognition errors by voice, open and close applications by voice, control the
mouse by voice, create custom voice commands and support for the recently released Dragon
Remote Mic app for iPhone.
