Dragon Software Training

Learn to write and edit by voice with Dragon on Windows. In one-to-one sessions, practise correcting mistakes and adding words you use in your own work.

Getting reliable results with Dragon

Dragon Professional lets you write and control your Windows computer by voice. We help you set up your microphone, correct mistakes and add the words you use.

We train people with dyslexia or ADHD and anyone who finds typing difficult because of pain, fatigue or limited movement. Practise dictating in the apps you use at work.

What the training covers

  • Microphone setup, profile configuration and checking your audio environment
  • Speak in phrases, add punctuation and correct words Dragon gets wrong
  • Use voice commands to write, edit and move around in supported Windows apps
  • Add names and specialist words, and set up commands for phrases you use often
  • Using Dragon alongside Microsoft 365 and your everyday workplace software
  • Practical habits for building dictation into your everyday workload

How sessions work

Use your own tasks and documents in one-to-one Dragon sessions. You can start with a free phone consultation. A standard session is three hours and you can ask for a shorter one. Join online from anywhere in the UK or arrange an on-site session. Every training package includes two weeks of follow-up support.

Common questions

Which versions of Dragon do you train?

Dragon Professional on Windows is our main focus. We also cover built-in alternatives — Microsoft Dictation and Apple Voice Control — so you can compare what suits your setup.

Can Access to Work pay for Dragon training?

Yes, where your Access to Work assessment recommends it. You can ask whether AAT Solutions can provide your training, subject to Access to Work approval, and we supply written quotes usually within two working days.

I have dyslexia — is Dragon right for me?

Often, yes. Speaking your draft reduces the need to spell every word as you type, and pairing Dragon with tools such as Read&Write or Global AutoCorrect helps with reading back and proofreading. Our dyslexia and ADHD training page covers the wider toolkit.

Does training happen remotely or on site?

Either. Dragon sessions work well remotely across the UK with screen sharing, and on-site delivery is available by arrangement.

Access to Work can help pay for assistive technology training if it is recommended and your funding is approved. Find out how Access to Work funding works and ask for a quote.
