Dragon Anywhere Professional (Desktop Application) – Getting Started
Dragon Professional Anywhere is distributed using two different methods, your organisation can use either or both depending on your environment and usage policies. Regardless of which method you choose Dragon Professional Anywhere only requires a small client footprint (< 200mb) and must be co-installed in the same environment as the applications you wish to dictate into. Dragon Professional Anywhere also also requires an ‘always available’ internet connection and unfiltered access to the Nuance recognition servers, for more technical information see the Administrators guide located within the Standalone Distribution download package.
