Professionals, business executives, and other people with limited typing skills, are now independently creating their documents and reports simply by speaking them. Compatible with most popular and custom software for word-processing, databases, spreadsheets, etc., DragonDictate(TM)-30K presently consists of 1 8-bit peripheral card and software, running near real-time on an MS-DOS 386-based (AT-bus), personal computer with 6 MB memory. Although slower than a skilled typist, interactive users of the DragonDictate(TM) system typically create printed text more quickly by speaking than they can generate handwritten text alone. With its integration of a 80,000 word dictionary and easy introduction of new terminology, DragonDictate(TM) offers a large, open vocabulary which can be used to generate free text immediately in any discipline, however specialized. Powerful adaptation techniques dynamically build and refine up to 30,000 speech models on-line during system use. Speech models for 16,000 frequent words / phrases of English are built-in.

First-time users are not required to provide any initial training or enrollment speech data before using the system. The DragonDictate(TM)-30K automatic transcription system is a large vocabulary, discrete utterance, natural language speech recognition system.
