About Utilities4Dragon
Utilities4Dragon began as a personal project born from my own need for better hands‑free productivity. After a minor traffic accident in 2010 led to a diagnosis of PLS, I started developing tools out of necessity—tools that helped me function, stay independent, and return to a more productive life. What began as solutions for myself has grown into a set of utilities designed to help Dragon users worldwide overcome similar challenges. Each tool is easy to learn, requires minimal training, and comes with a 30‑day free trial. I’m always available to answer questions and support you along the way.
The Current Products
Please note: Although the list looks similar to what has been available for a while, I have actually been making a lot of improvements and fixing a lot of bugs. Also fighting off a serious illness that took me out of action for a few months.
If you downloaded one of these programs in the past and are interested in reviewing it again, please let me know. I will send you a program that will remove the files that are used to manage the 30-day restriction. This will give you a fresh 30-day window.

Simplicity
Dynamically build an application based on the button names, location, and action that you desire. This information is stored in a file that you can easily edit by using your favorite text editor, and instantly build a Dragon friendly application.
If any of these soon-to-be-released programs peak your interest, please drop me a note! That way I'll know which program to prioritize. They are all running, just need to get the documentation squared away.
