Speech recognition 
functions

SpeechExec Pro handles the complete 
dictation and transcription workflow 
including the interface to Dragon 
NaturallySpeaking speech recognition. 
This way, you can control the entire 
process from dictation, speech 
recognition and correction to the final text 
document in SpeechExec.

Note

• To activate the speech recognition 

functions, an additional SpeechExec

Setting up speech recognition

SpeechExec Pro installs only the

functionalities. The Dragon 
NaturallySpeaking speech recognition 
application must be purchased and 
installed separately.  
For information on the installation, 
configuration, training, and adaptation
