Dragon SDK Server Edition
Speech-enable background transcription workflow
Dragon SDK Server Edition (DSS) provides a set of tools and interfaces to help software developers successfully build and integrate automatic speech recognition into transcription workflow systems.
Easy integration
DSS is specifically designed for integration into solutions that require speech recognition to run in the background, without any interactive dictation or self-editing by users.
Flexible implementation
Back-end speech recognition enables the batch processing of recorded speech from a range of devices, including digital recorders, tablets, smartphones and telephone dictation systems.
Save time and costs
Although not a transcription workflow itself, DSS can be integrated within existing systems to automate transcription, increasing transcription productivity and reducing transcription costs.
Maintain current workflows
Keep your own interface look and feel and entire workflow, while adding speech recognition running in the background.
Customize vocabulary
Create custom vocabularies to tailor the nomenclature and words to specific industries, companies, departments or job roles.
Fast and accurate transcription
Deliver amazingly accurate transcription recognition results by using personal profiles that store specific speaker information and deliver more accurate results the more they are used.
