Still available from VoiceX
You can still purchase or renew Dragon Professional Anywhere and Dragon Legal Anywhere.
If Dragon Professional Anywhere or Dragon Legal Anywhere still meets an immediate requirement, VoiceX can continue supplying and renewing licences during the remaining sales period. For existing environments, this can provide useful time to evaluate and pilot the right long-term replacement without forcing every user to change at once.

Move from Dragon Anywhere to SpeechLive AI Speech Recognition.
SpeechLive AI Speech Recognition is our lead cloud migration path for organisations that still want professional speech-to-text. It keeps familiar real-time dictation at the cursor while adding more ways to record, transcribe, review and manage speech within one cloud platform.
It is not designed to reproduce every Dragon function exactly. Users who depend heavily on advanced Windows voice control, scripting or detailed application automation should be assessed separately before migration.
For VoiceX DPA and DLA customers, central administration is normally managed by VoiceX through the NMC rather than exposed directly to the customer. The Dragon Anywhere Mobile app has also been discontinued, making SpeechLive's browser and mobile capture options an important practical difference for future deployments.
Keep speech-to-text. Gain more ways to work.
Why SpeechLive is a strong Dragon Anywhere migration path.
SpeechLive can support different authors in different ways, rather than forcing every user into one dictation method.
Real-time speech recognition
Dictate at the cursor into documents, email, browser fields and compatible business applications.
Recorded & deferred recognition
Record first, then process the audio in the background and review the recognised text later.
Windows, Mac, browser & mobile
Support more locations and devices from the same SpeechLive environment.
Human-in-the-Loop review
Keep the source audio with the transcript so authors, assistants or typists can check and finalise the work.
Multi-speaker transcription
Transcribe meetings, interviews, consultations and conversations with multiple speakers.
AI-assisted transcript outputs
Use Smart Transcript, Smart Refine, summaries and insights when straight verbatim text is not enough.

Comparison reflects the standard VoiceX-supported DPA/DLA customer configuration. VoiceX administers DPA and DLA through the Nuance Management Center (NMC); direct customer access to central administration is not included unless separately purchased. The former Dragon Anywhere Mobile app has been discontinued and is no longer available. Confirm requirements for commands, applications, virtual environments and specialist terminology before migration.
A note for Dragon Legal Anywhere users
SpeechLive AI Speech Recognition should not be presented as a like-for-like replacement for Dragon Legal Anywhere's dedicated legal vocabulary. Legal teams that want legal-specific speech recognition plus AI-assisted legal document creation should also evaluate SpeechLive Legal AI Assistant.
