Dragon Systems Files IPO for $100M
Common Stock

Dow Jones Newswires

WASHINGTON -- Dragon Systems Inc. filed an initial public offering for
$100 million of common stock.

In a filing with the Securities and Exchange Commission on Friday, Dragon
Systems said it would use proceeds from the sale for working capital and
capital expenditures.

Based in Newton, Mass., Dragon is a leading developer of speech
recognition technology. The company specializes in enabling voice
communications with computers, telephones, industrial systems and mobile
devices. Its products include Dragon NaturallySpeaking, a continuous
dictation computer software program. The software is currently available in
six languages, with releases in Japanese and Mandarin Chinese slated for
1999.

Dragon said it has filed an application for its common stock to be quoted on
the Nasdaq under the symbol "DRGN."

Seagate Technology Inc. (SEG) has invested in Dragon since 1994, and
currently owns about 38% of the company's outstanding common stock on an
as-converted basis, according to the SEC filing.

Underwriters for the deal are Morgan Stanley Dean Witter, Hambrecht &
Quist and SG Cowen.
