In case you don’t know, custom commands are speech commands that you can add yourself to the system. Personally I wouldn’t want to have a Dragon version without custom commands. Honestly, if you do any serious dictation at all, spending the extra $150 so that you can have access to the Vocabulary Editor is more than worth it. Just consider that if you use Dragon’s corrections option to add a word and you make a mistake, without the Vocabulary Editor you can never delete the mistaken word. Now, I do realise that some of these features might seem pretty far-fetched, but being able to tweak the vocabulary makes the speech recognition so much more enjoyable to use every day.

The data sheet about the Home version states “ You can even have Dragon learn new words as you make document corrections.” So apparently you can add new words to Dragon’s vocabulary in the Home version. Especially if you only want to dictate and you have no need of creating custom speech commands.īoth allow you to dictate and use speech commands to navigate around your computer. Are the differences that big, then?Īt first sight, the differences between DPI and Home don’t seem hugely important. At the time of writing this blog post, Dragon Professional Individual costs $300, while the Home version only costs $150. The Dragon Home version and Dragon Professional Individual are the most relevant versions and the price difference is significant. ![]() In the Nuance store, you can choose between different versions of Dragon speech recognition (previously called NaturallySpeaking). ![]()
