Section 508 Certified
Dragon Legal can help organizations meet their disability management needs because it's Section 508 certified. Whether employees are permanently disabled or just in temporary rehabilitation, Dragon Legal can keep everyone on the job. Plus, by using voice to control the PC and create documents, users reduce their risk of developing repetitive strain injuries, such as carpal tunnel syndrome.

Eliminate Transcription Bottlenecks
Streamline your transcription and review workflow. Dragon Legal can monitor incoming audio files, automatically convert each file into a text document, and then route the audio and transcript text to support staff. Dragon’s Voice Notations feature allows the speaker to make “side comments,” such as specific instructions, that are saved as part of the recorded dictation but do not appear as part of the transcribed text. 

Reduce Reliance on Support Staff
Robust third-party correction features streamline the editing and correction process to dramatically decrease turnaround time and reduce dependencies on support staff. This allows you to dedicate more resources to billable work.

Save More Time with Macros
Easily create special voice commands that let build and format document templates, insert frequently used text and graphics, or automate common workflow tasks like saving a document under a certain name, printing it, and attaching it to an email. 

Boost Productivity on the Go
Use a Nuance-approved digital voice recorder — from anywhere, at anytime — and automatically transcribe text when you connect to your PC. Or simply use a wireless microphone with Dragon Legal at your PC so you can pace the office or access a file across the room without disrupting document creation.
