Technology Dragon Marks Major Milestone

The new version of Dragon Naturally Speaking is the first developed entirely under ScanSoft management. It is expected to help the 10-year-old company, focused on document scanning and management software, increase sales this year by 30 percent to $130 million or more -- with speech technology accounting for potentially half of all sales by the end of the year. Dragon Naturally Speaking was originally developed by Newton-based Dragon Systems, which L&H bought just months before imploding.
