Anyone who’s worked in the legal industry knows how much pressure there is to quickly put together high-quality documents. And given the nature of this industry, there’s very little room for error.

These are just a couple of examples why speech recognition software is so crucial to law firms, and legal professionals. Nuance Dragon Legal Anywhere (DLA) is currently the most advanced software of its kind, ensuring those working in the legal industry can meet high standards of work without the risk of burnout. Automatic transcriptions means faster turnaround times, and a more productive, more efficient organisation.

In today’s blog, we’ll be covering all the basics of DLA, including the many benefits of speech recognition software for your organisation.

Dragon Legal Anywhere’s built-in legal vocabulary

Unless they use it on a daily basis for their job, most people probably don’t realise just how far speech recognition technology has come in recent years. Gone are the days when the most you could accomplish was a simple command for your iPhone.

Now, there are a number of platforms designed for specific industries and use cases: Dragon Professional Group was made for policing, local government, and legal; Dragon Medical One was made for healthcare; and Dragon Legal Anywhere for, as we’ve established, the legal sector. But what makes DLA the right choice for lawyers, specifically?

There are a wide range of benefits that DLA can offer law firms, but its flagpole feature is its built-in legal vocabulary.

The software has been trained not just on everyday words, but also on millions of legal terms. Your most complex legal memos, contracts, and other documentation can be automatically transcribed with 99% accuracy.

Other benefits of speech recognition software for the legal sector

The built-in vocab is far from the only benefit of Dragon Legal Anywhere. Let’s take a look at what else the software can do for your organisation…

Integration with existing applications
DLA will be compatible with most, if not all, of your existing applications, including Microsoft Office and Google Chrome. That means there’s not much of a learning curve when it comes to initial installation. Overall, it’s a very user-friendly platform.

Saves time and money
Not only will turnaround times for document production be drastically reduced, but you could also be looking at a not insignificant drop in costs.

If you’re currently outsourcing transcription services because your team simply doesn’t have the time, you may be able to eliminate this cost altogether. DLA’s automatic transcriptions are three times faster than the manual, repetitive equivalent.

Flexible speech recognition software
DLA can be used from just about anywhere, as long as you have a compatible computer or mobile device handy. You can seamlessly sync your DLA mobile app with your desktop workflow, allowing you constant access without compromise.

Secure and compliant
Security is vital in any industry, but this is particularly true for legal professionals. DLA uses encryption methods to ensure that audio recordings, transcriptions, and all other data is secure within the platform. Sensitive information must be handled with care, and DLA is fully compliant.

Simple set-up
It’s also an easy platform to install, with no complex configurations. Your whole team will have full access in a matter of minutes, and automatic updates will ensure the software is always optimised and equipped with the latest features.
