Office software: working more productively in the new year

Perhaps it is only a matter of time before there is a legal regulation on working from home. Until then, the trend to move the office into one’s own four walls has been increasing anyway, at least since the Corona crisis. But whether at home or in the office – you can only be really productive with the right office software.

Be productive with these powerful 3 programmes

It is clear that no one types out quotations with a typewriter anymore. Bookkeeping and the creation of individual forms have also long been possible with the PC in the twinkling of an eye. It’s just a matter of using the right office software. It should not only be stable and compatible with other software. Up-to-date features and ease of use are also important All these conditions are fulfilled by these 3 office software products, with which everyone can be productive in the new year.

1: Several Office versions

Already since 1989, Microsoft Office has been the the Standard office software for PC and Mac. Since its first appearance, the office suite for business applications has received quite a few modernisations. But what is still included are the three basic programmes Wordfor word processing, Excel for spreadsheets and the presentation programme PowerPoint. In the meantime, a specialised Office version software is available for every need.

  • Office 2019 - the tried and tested Office 2019 Home & Student is still one of the most practical office software for the home. It contains the three basic programmes and is available for both PC and Mac. If you buy the licence, it can be used on one device at a time, but you don't have to subscribe to it.
  • Microsoft 365 Single - if several devices are to be supplied At the beginning of 2020, the Office platform was renamed from Office 365 to Microsoft 365. In addition to Word, Excel and PowerPoint, the "365 Single" version also includes the mail programme Outlook, OneNote for notes as well as the database software Access and the design programme Publisher (only for PC). The package also includes 1 terabyte of cloud storage via OneDrive and is available by subscription. This Office version can be used on several devices - including smartphones and tablets.
  • Microsoft 365 Family - everything included This package has the same content as Office 2019 and Microsoft 365 Single, but can be used by up to six people on as many devices as they like - including 1 terabyte of cloud storage per person! Additional features such as arrival and departure notifications are installed in the Family Safety package.
  • Microsoft 365 Business - the professional solution The Office business package includes all the features of the other packages and a few more to make working in the office even more productive. It is offered in the versions "Basic", "Standard" and "Premium", each with a subscription

2: Nuance Dragon for perfect speech recognition

Typing was yesterday – today letters, invoices, offers or forms are simply dictated. And the computer creates a perfect written reproduction in no time at all. This is made possible by office software with speech recognition. Like for example Nuance Dragon. While dictating, the text appears on the screen – about three times faster than typing and with up to 99 percent accuracy. Voice commands such as changing programmes are also carried out by the software without any problems.

3: Nuance Power PDF

Documents created in Word or Excel, for example, can be converted into a PDF document in no time – and the PDF programme can also convert them back into another file format Nuance Power PDF back into another file format. The software offers all functions to manage, share and save the files. The files can be easily converted into searchable documents – and can even be saved later as a PDF file Edit PDF. Plus: For operation, the multi-function bar is in Microsoft Office style, which eliminates a long training period.

You no longer have to worry about typing and misspelling. Switch seamlessly between typing and dictation modes, depending on the task at hand and your preferred input mode. With Dragon, not only do you dictate up to three times faster than you type, you can also use your voice to highlight text, make changes and perform formatting. Simply highlight the text and apply formatting: Bold, underline, capitalise and more – all just by speaking. Thanks to SmartFormat rules, Dragon remembers your formatting preferences for abbreviations, dates, phone numbers and more. This means you don’t have to correct it every time. Dragon offers reliable voice-based operation and advanced dictation features (full text control) for completely voice-controlled editing in many popular applications. Creating documents and performing PC operations is done in record time.

Create user-defined terms and vocabularies

With Dragon Professional Individual, you can work the way that suits you. This makes you optimally productive even when you are on the move. * Transcription of recordings by other speakers may require an additional licence per speaker.
