About Dragon

Dragon by Nuance is one of the most powerful and widely used speech recognition tools available. It enables users to control their computer using their voice, allowing them to dictate documents, send emails, navigate software, and perform commands hands-free. Dragon is particularly helpful for users with physical disabilities, neurodivergent conditions such as ADHD or autism, and those with visual impairments, repetitive strain injury (RSI), or dyslexia.

By turning speech into text with speed and accuracy, Dragon can significantly increase productivity and reduce the strain of typing and mouse use in the workplace.

You can find out more about Dragon on the Nuance website.

Our Dragon Training

At Blazie, we know that everyone works differently. Our trainers use their in-depth knowledge of Dragon and years of experience in assistive technology to tailor each Dragon training session to the needs, learning style, and work environment of the individual.

The aim is simple: to ensure each trainee finishes their session with the confidence and practical knowledge to use Dragon effectively in their daily tasks, whether that means writing reports, managing email, navigating the web, or using voice commands in specialist software.

Our Dragon training is typically delivered as two one-to-one sessions lasting around three hours each, conducted remotely over Microsoft Teams or Zoom. This allows our trainers to see the trainee’s screen and demonstrate functionality in real time. In-person training can also be arranged if preferred, particularly for users who benefit from face-to-face support.

What Does Dragon Training Include?

A typical training session will cover:

  • Setting up and using a compatible microphone
  • Introduction to dictation and best practices for accuracy
  • Correcting misrecognised words and training Dragon to understand your voice
  • Navigating Microsoft Word, Outlook, and other common apps with voice commands
  • Creating and using custom vocabulary and voice commands
  • Tips for using Dragon with accessibility tools and settings
  • Saving and managing user profiles

All sessions are tailored to the individual’s role, goals, and software version.

At the end of the session, the trainer will send a summary email with training notes and a reference guide to key features covered. Trainees will also receive our support contact details in case they have any questions or need help after the training.
