Optimized for Windows 11

While fully Windows 10 compatible, Dragon Legal 16 has undergone a comprehensive, year-long rearchitecting and reengineering of its code to ensure optimization for the new Windows 11 operating system. A decided benefit of Microsoft's acquisition of Nuance in 2022 is the unprecedented access to Microsoft development assets for the Dragon engineering team. The result is a Dragon that is ideally engineered for today and future-proofed for tomorrow by being supported on, certified, and optimized for Windows 11.

• Supports both Windows 11 and 10 operating systems
• Successfully leverages advancements made in Windows 11
• Aligns with the global migration of Windows PC infrastructure to Windows 11

Best-in-class accessibility

Long known for its state-of-the-art adaptations for those with physical and cognitive disabilities, Dragon's latest upgrade, with new features such as the ability to use Mouse Grid on multiple monitors, furthers its commitment to the disability inclusion movement. And built with accessibility requirements in mind, Dragon can be easily adapted as needed to meet the most stringent compliance requirements for accessibility or industry reporting. The new Dragon Legal 16 is perfect for helping organizations of all sizes take full advantage of their workforce and for building an inclusive workplace.

• Mouse Grid on multiple monitors is critical in increasing the efficiency for those with physical disabilities working with large amount of information
• Still stocked with longstanding accessibilities like "Play That Back" proofreading of dictated text, Dragon Legal 16 sets a new standard for accessibility functionality

Faster and more accurate than ever

Dragon Legal 16 expands the possibilities of speech recognition innovation with a next-generation speech engine representing the culmination of 25 years of tireless progress and technology advancements. Dragon uniquely brings consistent, optimal accuracy to the PC. Deep Learning technology and adaptation techniques continuously adjust to your voice or environmental variations, even while you’re dictating. Dragon Legal 16 provides:

• Best ever locally running desktop recognition accuracy
• Continuous learning - even during dictation - for individually adapted accuracy improvements that enhance the user experience
• Optimal accuracy achieved for speakers with accents or in slightly noisy environments such as in a cubicle or open office setting

Support for the latest applications

Another benefit to being a Microsoft company is unfettered access to the latest applications for the purpose of integration and support. Because Dragon’s effectiveness is tied to how well it integrates with other applications, it's critical that Dragon supports the latest versions just as it's critical that you have the most current version of Dragon. Dragon Legal 16 provides:

• New support for Office 2021 while still supporting Office 2016/2019
• New support for Microsoft Teams commands
• New support for “Modern Comments” in Microsoft Word dictation
• New support for legal industry favorite Corel WordPerfect 2021

PowerMic 4 support

The Nuance PowerMic 4 has long been a secret weapon of Dragon power users. Think of it as a microphone and mouse in one. Designed as a robust, ergonomic handheld microphone with simplified thumb-control operation, programmable buttons, and integrated mouse functionality, the PowerMic 4 takes personal productivity to all new heights with the integration of a larger pointing device, high pass filter, and added programable buttons.
