## What is Dragon Anywhere?

WHY USE DRAGON ANYWHERE
Paperwork doesn’t end when you’re away from your desk. Dragon Anywhere is the only mobile dictation app that enables continuous dictation of documents, with no length or time limits. This means, you can dictate documents of any length, edit, format, and share them directly from your mobile device—whether visiting clients, a job site or at your local coffee shop.

Mobile employees are often burdened with heavier documentation demands—client intake forms, reports and more. Dragon Anywhere makes it easy to create detailed and accurate documents, fill out reports and forms, or complete other paperwork— directly on your smartphone and tablet, all on-the-go. And because you can also synchronize your personal customizations with Dragon Professional for the desktop, work started in the field or out on the road can easily be completed back at your home or office.


DRAGON ANYWHERE FEATURES:

•	Fast & accurate dictation means you can dictate immediately with 99% recognition accuracy right out of the gate, with no training required.

•	No time or length limits means you can speak as long as you want to complete documents of any length – from a business report to an entire book!

•	Need to fill out forms from the road? Easily create form-based templates using Dragon Anywhere’s auto-texts feature and create and fill out forms, such as client in-take forms, and even navigate field to field by voice commands.

•	Powerful customizations, like the ability to add words specific to your industry, means even better dictation accuracy as you create documents.  Or create simple voice commands to short-cut repetitive steps, like inserting an email signature or standard clauses into documents.

•	Robust voice formatting and editing lets you select words and sentences for editing, correction, and deletion, apply common formatting like underline and bold, or voice navigate through fields of a report template.

•	Need to share or work anywhere? Simply import and export to and from popular cloud-based document-sharing tools like Dropbox®.

•	Synchronize with supported Dragon desktop solutions and work started on the road or in the field can be completed back at the desktop for seamless document workflows.


Additional Information:
•	Dragon Anywhere supports the following languages: US English, Canadian English, UK English, French (Canada), French (France), and German.
•	Dragon Anywhere uses cloud-based speech recognition, and requires an internet connection to dictate.
•	For any technical or subscription assistance with Dragon Anywhere, please contact Nuance Support: https://www.nuance.com/dragon/support/dragon-anywhere-support.html

Dragon Anywhere has your privacy in mind:
•	All communication with the cloud is secured with Enterprise grade encryption.
•	The app does not require access to your personal information, and only requires access to the device’s microphone and storage.

### 1/5 — App

*2026-07-05, version 1.96*

I have used this app for several years and it was great but unfortunately it appears to have stopped working at the moment I can’t record on it or send anything I hope they can fix it.

### 1/5 — Business in bad faith

*2026-06-09, version 1.94*

Almost fraudulent 
I have purchased the medical version of the dragon anywhere in December
Starting past couple weeks, the dictation would have many errors and not dictating correctly
I have contacted the Support and they tell me that I have purchased an outdated version of the dragon back in December which is approximately six months ago
And the sales person tried to sell me a new aversion at $4000 for three year subscription
when I purchased the original software back in December, approximately six months ago, I was also sold a lifetime upgrade option for $1000
But this sales person says that that upgrade is obsolete because I purchased the older version of the software
this business is just conducting a bad bad faith essentially the software that I purchased six months ago for $2000 is no longer usable and my so-called lifetime upgrade that I purchased a few months ago is also not valid because they are now working on a different platform

### 1/5 — Incompetent for any piece of software

*2026-03-20, version 1.94*

Now I've received an end of life notice from them but really it died years ago, and they shamefully continued the product.

### 1/5 — Garbage

*2026-02-08, version 1.94*

Can’t link to Dropbox. The one requirement I have. Costs 150$ for this?  Garbage.

### 1/5 — Dragon disappoints

*2026-01-30, version 1.94*

I’m having the same issue as another reviewer - while opening app to dictate, it says they can’t access my account, but I know that’s not true. Nothing works to fix it and no help available. My subscription recently renewed, was paid, so looks like I got screwed. Too bad, was a useful app.

### 1/5 — Serious Issue

*2026-01-30, version 1.94*

I’ve been a longtime customer but this January I’m no longer able to log into my app. It does not seem like they have any American customer service and the process of trying to get my password reset by calling. Customer support seems so shady that I ultimately just gave up. I could not get an automated link sent to me by selecting to reset my password through the app. Instead, I had to call a customer service and was greeted by a what appeared to be a foreigner who said that they could not hear me, so they asked for my phone number and then proceeded to call me back from a private line (“no ID“). This person then asked for my email address and proceeded to create an account for me, as though my account did not exist. That person then tied that email address to the phone number I had just given them, although I have never used that phone number in my dealings with the company before. Then, this person directed me to “technical support” yet another foreigner. This new technical support person asked whether I was using an android phone or an iPhone and had access to email on my phone. When I said I did, they said that they were sending me a password reset link, but the “reset link” did not come from a domain that included nuance.com. That person encouraged me to click on a link in the reset email in order to reset my password for Dragon anywhere application, but the whole process seemed like a scam designed to wipe information from my phone or gain access to it, so rather than clicking the link I simply ended the call. Even if these were legitimate customer support people and this was the company’s legitimate process, the process is broken and resembles an online scam.

### 1/5 — Doesn’t work

*2026-01-29, version 1.94*

It won’t work

### 1/5 — Arnaque

*2026-01-22*

Site frauduleux, pas de remboursement malgré la promesse de le faire si on resilie dans la semaine, a fuir a tout prix

### 1/5 — Well deserved 2 stars

*2026-01-18, version 1.94*

This app can't get the spelling of any word right. It is a nightmare. You'll spend more time correcting all of its mistakes so that you may as well just type the words.
In the age of AI, this app is a failure.
Hence its two stars
