First-to-Market Mobile App Lets Dragon
Follow You from Your Desk to the Field and Beyond, Creating a
Cross-Device Dragon Experience to Maximize Documentation
Productivity
Nuance Communications, Inc. (NASDAQ:NUAN) today announced Dragon
Anywhere, a cloud-based mobile application available this fall for
iOS and Android that delivers Dragon’s powerful voice dictation and
documentation productivity capabilities to mobile devices for the
first time.
Designed for the mobile workforce, Dragon Anywhere brings
professional-grade continuous dictation to iOS and Android
smartphones and tablets, enabling users to create and edit complete
reports and documents, capture detailed notes, and more, while on
the go. This new, cloud-based mobile app empowers field workers,
lawyers, social workers, insurance adjusters, public safety
officers, and other professionals to keep up with documentation
demands even when they are away from their desks.
With Dragon Anywhere, professionals can finish a meeting, a site
visit, an inspection, or other work in the field and begin
documenting the interaction on their mobile device—while the
information is still fresh in their mind – to produce more accurate
and detailed reports. Because dictation is captured immediately,
they can review and correct on the spot, without having to
transcribe a recording later or pay for costly transcription
services, which often take days to come back.
Further, Dragon Anywhere creates a powerful cross-device
experience, enabling Dragon users to quickly and easily access
documents saved to a preferred cloud service from their desktop.
Customized vocabularies and auto-texts are also shared across an
entire Dragon experience with Dragon Anywhere’s ability to sync
with the new Dragon Professional Individual and Dragon for Mac.
Dragon Anywhere offers:
- Fast dictation and high recognition
accuracy
- Continual learning of a person’s unique
voice for improved accuracy – the more Dragon Anywhere is used, the
more accurate it becomes
- No time or length limits on dictation;
professionals can speak as long as they want to, capturing all of
the details needed for complete, accurate documentation
- Robust voice formatting and editing
options, including the ability to select words and sentences for
editing or deletion, navigate through fields of a report template,
and apply common formatting like underline, bold and italics
- Support for auto-texts –
frequently-used text passages such as client or work order
descriptions—that can be saved and inserted as a dictation command
(e.g., “Insert client details.”)
- Support for custom words, allowing
professionals to add industry-specific terminology for even better
dictation accuracy
- Support for simple importing and
exporting to and from popular cloud document-sharing tools like
Dropbox and saving to note-taking apps like Evernote, so work can
be continued from a mobile device or on a desktop
Dragon Anywhere can also be deployed across an enterprise and
managed through the Nuance User Management Center. Custom words and
auto-texts can be easily managed by an IT administrator and
deployed to employees using the app.
“For years, professionals across industries have relied on
Dragon on their PCs and Macs for completing the documentation and
paperwork requirements that are critical to their businesses, and
we are excited to extend that experience to mobile devices with
Dragon Anywhere,” said Peter Mahoney, Senior Vice President and
General Manager of Dragon. “By leveraging the cloud, Dragon
Anywhere provides sophisticated dictation, editing, and formatting
capabilities not offered by any other mobile voice dictation
application, ensuring that professionals can stay productive
wherever their work takes them.”

Dragon Anywhere will be available in English in the US and UK
via the App Store and Google Play in fall 2015 as a
subscription-based application. More information on Dragon Anywhere
