Dragon Professional Anywhere is approaching end of life
Dragon Professional Anywhere and Dragon Professional Legal are both being retired by the end of the year. If you are looking at cloud speech recognition now, SpeechRecognition.cloud is the replacement we recommend — browser based, nothing to install, 57 languages, and a free tier so you can trial it before moving your team.

Frequently asked questions
Is Dragon Professional Anywhere being discontinued?
Yes. Dragon Professional Anywhere and Dragon Professional Legal are both being retired by the end of the year. Existing subscriptions are honoured through to their renewal date.
What should I use instead?
For cloud dictation, SpeechRecognition.cloud is the replacement we recommend. It is browser based with nothing to install, supports 57 languages, and has a free tier so you can trial it against your own workflow first. Healthcare users should look at Dragon Medical One.
Is it a like-for-like replacement?
For dictation and transcription, yes — and it removes the installation and device-licensing overhead. If you rely on Dragon's deep Windows application control and voice macros, Dragon Professional 16 remains available as a desktop, perpetual-licence option. We can advise which fits your workflow.
What happens to my existing subscription?
It runs to its renewal date. We recommend planning the move before renewal so there is no gap in service — Voice Recognition Australia can map the timing out with you.
Can you help us migrate?
Yes. We handle setup, user training and migration planning for Australian teams moving off Dragon Anywhere or Dragon Legal. Get in touch and we will scope it around your renewal date.
