What’s New in Version 11.5?
If upgrading from a version prior to Dragon 11, please also see What's New in Dragon 11, below.
Reminder: The Feature Matrix, available on the Nuance website, lists the feature differences between the editions of Dragon
NaturallySpeaking.
Improved User Profile Upgrade wizard: The wizard makes it easier to see how many profiles will be
updated. Important: To avoid making customers wait too long for their profile upgrade to complete, Dragon
processes only the most recent 30 minutes of acoustic data. (All corrections and new words trained in
upgraded profiles are migrated.) Nuance recommends that you run Accuracy Tuning as soon as
possible after the upgrade; this will ensure that the maximum amount of acoustic data is migrated to your
upgraded profile, thereby providing the best possible accuracy.
Using an iPhone or related device as a wireless microphone: Most people use Dragon by speaking
directly to their computers using the microphone included with their Dragon software purchase. But some
dislike being tethered to the PC. With the introduction of the free Dragon Remote Microphone application,
available in the iTunes app store, you can use your iPhone or related device as a wireless microphone: as
you dictate text or speak commands, the device transfers the audio data through a Wi-Fi connection to
Dragon on your computer. The Dragon Remote Mic app initially supports iPhones™, iPads™ and the iPod
Touch™ 4 as wireless microphones running iOS 4.2, or later.
Improved interface for setting up a recorder source and transcribing audio files: The wizards make it
easier to properly set up a recorder as audio source and to transcribe recordings (including choosing where
the text will be transcribed). You can use a digital recorder, smartphone, or related device to record your
dictation for transfer to Dragon on your computer. Expanded Help and Tutorial links are also provided.
Improved Dragon Learning Center: You can now shrink the Learning Center’s width to free up more of
your screen. Dragon remembers your width setting the next time you open it. Also, the Learning Center now
provides new information when you work in WordPad, the Vocabulary Editor, the Command Browser, or the
Spelling window. Note: At the bottom of the Learning Center are links to the Dragon Tutorial, in English
editions of Dragon.
“Undo all” for multiple text matches: Dragon 11 introduced the ability to apply commands such as “bold
<xyz>” and “capitalize <xyz>” to all visible instances of <xyz> in your text, thanks to the command “choose
all.” Saying “undo that” undoes the change for just the last instance of <xyz>. Dragon 11.5 introduces the
"undo all" command to undo the change to all instances.
New commands for quotation marks and brackets: To speed up your editing, you can say "Quote That"
or "Bracket That" (or "Quote Selection" or "Bracket Selection”) and Dragon will enclose in quotation marks
or brackets what you selected, or last dictated. (Note: In UK English, “Bracket That” inserts the round
characters called parentheses in the US.) Also, you can say "Empty Quotes," or "Empty Brackets" to have
Dragon insert a pair of quotation marks or brackets so you can dictate something within them.
Commands to quickly post to Facebook or Twitter: Just select something you dictated or some text in
an editable document and say "Post that to Facebook," "Post that to Twitter," or "Tweet that." You can also
post something new that you dictate, by using the following commands: "Post to Facebook <xyz>," "Post to
Twitter <xyz>," or "Tweet <xyz>," where <xyz> represents words you dictate along with the command. For
example, “Post to Facebook thank you to all who came out to support us today” or “Tweet anyone know a
great dentist in Burlington Vermont?” Dragon then brings up a dialog box where you can complete or modify
your text before it is posted.
Improved usability of the Spelling window: The Spelling window is revised to allow horizontal resizing, to
remember your last setting, and for improved readability.
