Announcing a comprehensive new learning resource
Dragon Professional is a widely-used tool that enables users to access and control their computer using speech alone. In addition to accurate dictation, the software supports complete hands-free access, making it a popular tool for many who experience barriers to using the keyboard and mouse.
Accredited Dragon Professional trainer, Michael Shepherd, has led the development of a new, comprehensive platform designed to support and enhance your experience with Dragon Professional software.
Members of our accessibility and assistive technology communities may remember Michael from our popular drop-in session on best practice in assistive technology training. With years of experience as an expert trainer in higher education, Michael has a deep insight to the needs of both users and AT professionals.
The Dragon Professional Learning Hub will be of use to users and trainers alike. With over 11 hours of video content and 140+ tutorials, the resource provides in-depth guidance on maximizing the efficiency and accuracy of your speech recognition.
October 2024 offer
To mark the launch of a new term, Michael is offering a generous 50% discount on access to the Hub for 12 months to all staff and students at Jisc member organisations (usual price £129.99).
To activate the discount, go to the Dragon Speech Academy site and when prompted, use the discount code jisc50.

More about the Hub
Michael says, “Whether you’re new to Dragon Professional or looking to reinforce what you’ve learned in one-to-one training, the Learning Hub is the perfect companion. Users can revisit material, expand their skills, and continue learning at their own pace.
What truly sets the Dragon Professional Learning Hub apart is our unique community space, moderated by expert Dragon tutors [including Michael himself, the author of ‘Dragon Professional – A Step Further’]. Connect with fellow users, share insights, and get answers from experts as you master Dragon Professional.”
Need help?
Most UK further and higher education providers are Jisc members, but a small number are not. If you don’t have a .ac.uk email address, but believe you study or work at a Jisc member organisation, please contact the Dragon Speech Academy to discuss. If you are unsure, look up your Jisc relationship manager.
Beyond disseminating information about the discount, Jisc has no involvement in the content or systems created and moderated by the Dragon Speech Academy. All enquiries regarding support or payment must be directed to support@dragonspeechacademy.com.
