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.
