Dragon Keyboard Review

Getting enough quality time to write can be a major challenge for many authors, especially when you are trying to turn out multiple books each year. Using voice recognition software like dragon can help you get more done in the limited hours that you have each day, making it easier to produce high-quality written work.

Dragon is a powerful piece of speech recognition software that can let you use your voice both for dictation and controlling applications and programs. It works directly with applications like Word, Excel, Outlook and Notepad and also controls popular websites and browsers. It also has a Dictation Box that can be opened when you are talking to a program that Dragon doesn’t support directly and then allows you to move the text into the application with a transfer button.

When you set up Dragon, it creates a profile for your voice and analyzes documents, e-mails and other sources of text to learn your vocabulary and normal speaking pattern. You can add new words and customize the pronunciation so that it will recognize your spoken form of the word as well as the written form. This will make it faster and easier to enter text by voice, which can be a big boon for gamers.

One of the main drawbacks of this keyboard is the protruding Redragon branding above the arrow cluster, which stands out in a way that doesn’t fit the overall design of the keyboard. Another nit-pick is that the feet have very thin strips of rubber, which can slide around on smooth surfaces. But these are minor flaws that shouldn’t bother most users. The included Redragon software lets you create custom macros and key binds to improve gaming efficiency. The software also offers a wide selection of backlight options to enhance the keyboard’s looks and function.
