Dragon Systems Is Working With Intel To
Enhance Speech Recognition Performance
ORLANDO, Fla.--(BUSINESS WIRE)--Oct. 13, 1998-- Dragon Systems(R),
Inc. of Newton, Mass. announced at the Gartner Group IT Expo conference today, that it is working closely with Intel(R) Corporation to enhance speech recognition for future generations of Intel processors. The companies will work together to make speech
systems faster, more accurate and easier to use on higher performing hardware systems. Future versions of Dragon NaturallySpeaking(TM) and other Dragon speech products will be able to take full advantage of the higher performance of future Intel processors to optimize performance for end-users.
Dragon Systems plans to introduce copies of Dragon NaturallySpeaking software that will take advantage of the instruction set that will be introduced in a family of powerful Intel processors in 1999.
''We congratulate Dragon Systems on their efforts to drive the advancement of speech recognition,'' said Rob Sullivan, Director of Content Technologies, Intel Corporation.

BestMatch(TM) technology, found in Dragon NaturallySpeaking, automatically adjusts the performance of the
speech software for greater accuracy on more powerful Intel processor based PCs.
