Dragon NaturallySpeaking

Dragon NaturallySpeaking is a commercial speech recognition software product, originally developed by Dragon Systems and later acquired by Nuance Communications (now part of Microsoft). It converts spoken words into text and computer commands, enabling hands-free computer operation. Dragon has been one of the most widely used assistive technologies for people with motor disabilities, repetitive strain injuries, or other conditions that make typing difficult. The software supports continuous dictation, voice commands for application control, and custom vocabulary, making it a comprehensive alternative to keyboard and mouse input for desktop computing.
