If you are often creating documents for work or school, Dragon NaturallySpeaking is designed to speed up the process and eliminate the need for typing. With Dragon NaturallySpeaking, you speak the words you want typed into a microphone, and the software does all the work for you. Some versions of Dragon NaturallySpeaking allow you to select a language other than English, such as Spanish or French. To use a different language, you need to create a new user profile.
Step 1
Launch Dragon NaturallySpeaking, and then click on "NaturallySpeaking" at the top of the screen.
