Speech Recognition & Dictation Training

Practical training in Dragon, TalkType, Microsoft Dictation and Apple Voice Control — helping you draft, edit and navigate by voice in the applications you use every day. Looking for Dragon specifically? See our dedicated Dragon software training page.

Dictation built around your real documents

Whether you use speech recognition because of dyslexia, ADHD, upper-limb pain or visual fatigue, training focuses on the tasks that matter in your role: writing emails, drafting reports, correcting recognition errors cleanly and adding specialist names or terminology to your vocabulary.

Each software package is taught in its own dedicated session (our standard booking is a three-hour half-day per package, and shorter sessions for an individual package are available on request), delivered remotely across the UK or on site by arrangement, with two weeks of follow-up support included with every training package.

  • Dictation phrasing, spoken punctuation and efficient correction methods
