Murphy's Law dictates that companies will reorganize their websites as soon as anyone writes about them, so don't be terribly surprised if particular features of the Dragon website are in slightly different locations. (Odds are that the features are still there somewhere.) Nuance does a very good job of structuring its website, so if you look around, you should be able to find things, even if they've recently moved.
To access the support portal, you need to set up a free account. From this account, you can register your products, access your stored serial numbers, send a message to the Technical Support department, learn about new Dragon products, or order upgrades.
In general, the better you define your question, the more likely you are to get satisfaction from your email message. If you can say, "When I do this and that, I get such and such error message," the technical support staffers have a better chance to figure out what's wrong and give you a written answer. They also can do a good job with "How do I make Dragon Professional Individual do X?" questions. And questions like "Where can I find more about improving my accuracy?" can be easily handled in writing.
For the first 90 days after you register your Dragon software, you get your questions answered free. After the 90-day warranty expires, there is a fee. In Dragon Professional Individual, you can also find a Technical Support link in the Help menu.
