What do I do next?

 

First, contact us for a “no-obligation” discussion of your needs. If you decide to go ahead, we’ll need to ask you some basic questions about your PC or Mac such as Operating System, specification, version of Dragon NaturallySpeaking, which version of Microsoft Office you have, which Office programmes you work with and what you are hoping to achieve with the system etc. We’ll then agree a time that’s convenient for the training which can either be at your site or at our location. Our support to you doesn’t end after your training. If you take the minimum recommended Part I half day course, we provide 6 months support on questions on using the software. If you take Parts I and II (total of one whole day), you receive 12 months support. We have leading edge support tools such as a remote, secure desktop connection system and the ability to make a “screencast” (make a video of the software in action) to answer your specific questions. No trying to understand complicated e-mail instructions!

"Just a note to say thank you for your ongoing help, and supplementary training, with Dragon, since I started using the system a few months ago. Although the software is relatively straightforward to use, it has been very helpful to have your ongoing advice and support, and your various `tips’ to get the most out of the programme. As you know, I have thought for some years that voice recognition software would be ideal for me, largely for report writing, and answering e-mail, but I have found earlier programmes too cumbersome and time-consuming to be of practical use. The Dragon system does work brilliantly, and it is really easy to rattle off detailed replies, particularly to e-mail correspondence, both in the office and at home. In fact, I would be rather stuck without it now (as this letter demonstrates!). Many thanks again for your continued interest in my progress."
