Important Update for Resellers and Partners

As Microsoft prepares to officially retire Windows 10 in October 2025, organizations using legacy software like Dragon Professional Group v15 are facing a turning point. Without ongoing support or security updates, continued use of outdated software on an unsupported OS introduces significant performance, security, and compliance risks.

Now is the time for resellers and partners to act. Help your clients make a seamless transition to Dragon Professional v16, fully optimized for Windows 11 and equipped with powerful enhancements for the modern workplace.

Why Upgrade to Dragon Professional v16?

Full Compatibility with Windows 11

Dragon v16 is designed from the ground up for Windows 11 environments, ensuring smooth installation, full driver support, and uninterrupted performance. Enhanced Speech Recognition Accuracy

Built on advanced speech engine improvements, v16 delivers:

• Faster voice-to-text conversion

• Higher transcription accuracy

• Improved command-and-control functionality for Windows 11 apps

This means clients can work faster and smarter—especially in documentation-heavy roles like law, healthcare, and public service.

Continued Security & Support

With v15 approaching obsolescence:

• Clients will no longer receive technical support or updates

• Future Windows updates may break compatibility

• Security vulnerabilities could go unpatched

Upgrading to v16 keeps your clients protected, productive, and compliant with IT security standards.

Additional Enhancements in v16

Recent updates from Nuance include:

• Improved Microsoft Office 365 integration

• Support for high-resolution displays and multiple monitors

• Enhanced command customizations for workflow automation

• Improved deployment tools for centralized administration and group license management

These features make v16 not just a necessary update—but a valuable upgrade.
