Nuance Dragon Legal v16 is the industry-leading speech recognition software built specifically for legal professionals and law firms of any size. Designed for Windows 11 and fully compatible with Windows 10, it allows attorneys, paralegals, and support staff to dictate and create legal documents up to 3x faster than typing—with exceptional accuracy thanks to its specialized legal vocabulary.

Built on cutting-edge Deep Learning technology, Dragon Legal v16 adapts to your voice and environment, ensuring reliable performance even in noisy offices. From drafting briefs and contracts to formatting citations automatically, it significantly reduces the time and effort needed to complete legal documentation.


Optimized for Windows 11—Fully Compatible with Windows 10

Dragon Legal v16 has been extensively reengineered to deliver peak performance on Windows 11, while remaining fully compatible with Windows 10. Following Nuance’s acquisition by Microsoft in 2022, Dragon’s development team gained unparalleled access to Microsoft engineering resources—resulting in a version of Dragon that is not only optimized for today’s systems but future-ready for tomorrow’s technology.

  • Fully supports both Windows 11 and Windows 10 environments
  • Leverages the latest performance and security enhancements in Windows 11
  • Seamlessly aligns with the global transition to modern Windows infrastructure

Dragon Legal v16 empowers legal teams to:

  • Automate citation formatting and legal-specific terms
  • Dictate documents quickly and accurately
  • Customize vocabulary with firm-specific language
  • Create voice commands to streamline repetitive tasks
  • Share macros and custom word lists across teams

Whether you’re a solo practitioner or part of a large legal department, Dragon Legal v16 helps improve productivity, increase billable hours, and enhance client satisfaction by reducing transcription costs and dependence on support staff.

Work smarter, faster, and hands-free—anywhere you go—with Nuance Dragon Legal v16.


Improved high resolution monitor support

Dragon Legal 16 has been enhanced to support common hardware configurations including those with high resolution monitors. Yet another example of Dragon staying ahead of the technology curve.

Nuance Dragon Professional 16.0 Speech Dictation and Voice Recognition Software

Nuance Dragon Professional 16.0 Speech Dictation and Voice Recognition Software

Dragon Legal is built with a specialized legal vocabulary to ensure exceptional recognition accuracy from the start. To boost speed and precision even further, users can create, import, and share custom word lists tailored to specific clients or legal specialties, and automatically format legal citations. Additionally, Dragon allows support staff or third parties to edit dictations and transcriptions with ease, accelerating document turnaround and enabling your team to focus on higher-value work.

  • Legal-specific language model: Dragon Legal v16 is trained using over 400 million words from legal documents, delivering exceptional recognition accuracy for legal terms from day one. Users can further improve accuracy by creating, importing, and sharing custom word lists tailored to clients or legal specialties. Automatic legal citation formatting is also included.
  • Easy batch processing and post-editing of transcriptions: Automatically transcribe audio into a designated directory using the AFTA (Auto Transcribe Folder Agent) process. Dragon embeds audio in the document, making it easy for users or editors to review and edit efficiently.
  • Drive productivity with custom commands: Create and distribute custom voice commands to automate repetitive tasks and integrate seamlessly into workflows. Custom commands can be shared across teams for immediate and scalable productivity gains.
  • Improve mobile documentation and reporting: Dragon syncs user customizations—such as Auto-Texts—across PC, iOS, and Android. Professionals can dictate using familiar custom terms from anywhere, whether on a touchscreen PC or via the Dragon Anywhere Mobile app.

Exceptional Accessibility for All Users

Renowned for its advanced support for individuals with physical and cognitive disabilities, Dragon continues to lead in inclusive technology with the release of Dragon Legal 16. The latest upgrade introduces powerful new features—such as Mouse Grid functionality across multiple monitors—designed to enhance accessibility and user productivity, especially for professionals handling large volumes of information.

Developed with strict accessibility compliance in mind, Dragon Legal 16 can be tailored to meet even the most rigorous regulatory standards, making it an ideal solution for organizations committed to creating inclusive, accessible workplaces for all team members.

In addition to new innovations, Dragon Legal 16 retains essential accessibility tools like “Play That Back” for audio proofreading of dictated text. Together, these features set a new benchmark in speech recognition accessibility, empowering users and enabling businesses to unlock the full potential of their diverse workforce.


  • Increase dictation accuracy with custom vocabularies: Even within a legal organization, different employees may use different vocabulary on the job. For example, attorneys would have a need to use legal vocabulary and automatically format legal citations in preparing their case notes. Other employees in an organization with a corporate legal department such as in HR or accounting, may not need to frequently use a legal vocabulary, but have other custom terminology needs. Dragon Legal v16 lets you add custom words with any preferred formatting properties directly to the vocabulary so the software accurately types your dictation the way you want it to appear.
  • Make routine, “flat-rate” work economically viable: Clients are increasingly demanding “flat-rate” billing for routine, “vanilla” legal work. Some are even turning to legal services websites. Rather than lose this work for valued clients, Dragon’s productivity benefits can be paired with junior associates to complete this work quickly and accurately – while providing a personalized touch – and doing so in an economically viable way.
  • Built with accessibility requirements in mind: Dragon extends Windows 11’s stellar accessibility experience (i.e., screen reader and customizable captions) to document creation and command and control functionality. Mouse grid on multiple monitors, “play that back” audio of dictated text in the user’s voice, and sophisticated macro commands are just a few capabilities professionals with physical or cognitive disabilities enjoy. Building on 25-years of expertise advancing speech-recognition technology, it helps organizations take full advantage of their workforce and foster an inclusive workplace.
