Individual Legal Professionals can Leverage
Dictation, Transcription, and Mobility Components for Documentation
Productivity at New, Lower Price Point
Nuance Communications, Inc. (NASDAQ: NUAN) today announced the
availability of Dragon® Legal Individual speech recognition
software, the latest offering in its suite of professional
productivity solutions. Built with a specialized legal vocabulary,
Dragon Legal Individual enables legal documents to be prepared
quickly and accurately by voice. Dragon Legal Individual is
available at a brand new price point of $500, and was designed
specifically to meet the documentation, transcription, and mobility
needs of individual legal professionals and those in smaller
practices.
Fast, Accurate Dictation for Improved Workflows
Dragon Legal Individual includes specialized legal vocabulary
that was developed with more than 400 million words from legal
documents and can automatically format legal citations to deliver
optimal recognition accuracy for dictation of legal terms right out
of the gate. To further increase accuracy, users can create custom
words, acronyms, or unique legal terminology to minimize the need
for corrections, and can import or share these customizations with
colleagues. Dragon enables users to speed document completion and
free support staff to focus on higher-value tasks.
Dictation on the Go
According to the 2015 International Legal Technology Association
technology survey, legal professionals are embracing mobile,
cloud-based solutions to help complete important work tasks when
outside of the office. The survey revealed that 62% of respondents
cited the versatility and mobility of cloud solutions as the most
compelling reason to embrace the cloud, followed closely by
flexibility (53%).
The versatility and flexibility of advanced mobile dictation
tools are important for legal professionals who often spend time
visiting clients or in court and need to create and edit documents
while away from the office. Dragon Legal Individual now
synchronizes with Nuance Dragon Anywhere (available as a separately
priced subscription), a cloud-based, professional-grade mobile
dictation service for iOS and Android smartphones and tablets.
Dragon Anywhere learns and adapts to a person’s voice and
vocabulary, and lets professionals synchronize custom words and
auto-texts with Dragon Legal Individual, and vice versa. This
allows legal professionals to continue to dictate and edit their
documents with their customizations available to them whether they
are in the office or on the go. Users can share documents via email
or cloud-based tools like Dropbox and Google Drive, allowing for
seamless workflows and increased productivity between work
environments.
Built-In Transcription to Save Time and Money
Legal professionals who may prefer to dictate voice notes into a
digital recorder for later transcription can take advantage of the
enhanced transcription capabilities of Dragon Legal Individual.
Accurate transcription of legal documents is enabled by leveraging
the built-in legal vocabulary to accelerate document turnaround and
reduce reliance on third-party transcription services. In addition
to transcribing the voice associated with the Dragon profile,
Dragon Legal Individual can now transcribe a recorded audio file of
any single speaker or from podcasts. This allows legal
professionals to more easily manage things like case notes and
client engagements.
“Faced with important responsibilities to clients, trial
preparation and time in the courtroom, lawyers need tools that
simplify administrative duties like documentation,” said Peter
Mahoney, senior vice president and general manager of Dragon. “We
designed the latest version of Dragon Legal Individual with
individual professionals and smaller practices in mind, and by
introducing it at a brand new price point, we’re making the
software more accessible to a larger segment of the legal industry.
With updated dictation, transcription, and mobility components,
Dragon Legal Individual allows legal professionals to complete
documentation wherever their work takes them.”
