You can launch it later from the Start menu.)

Then click the DragonBar’s Help menu and see its content.Step 4:Personalize your profile’s vocabulary In order to dictate efficiently, you should let Dragon learn what you use: nicknames, jargon, capitalized phrases, email addresses, etc.

Personalizing your Profile will prevent many errors. There are several means to do it including having Dragon analyze text similar to what you plan to dictate. See “Improve my accuracy” in the Help menu.The Learning CenterThe Learning Center displays sample commands (global and application-specific).

It contains clickable links to related Help topics.

– Clicking the microphone icon on the DragonBar or System Tray. – Using commands such as “wake up” and “microphone off.”Your first dictationStart a word processor, make sure your cursor is in the document, then turn on the microphone and dictate sentences in a clear and natural voice.

Say punctuation and commands like new paragraph. As you dictate, a small Dragon icon indicates that the software is processing. No need to wait for Dragon to “catch up.” Dictate at a natural pace.

Aim to speak long phrases, since this gives Dragon some context and leads to much better results than slow, halting speech. Note: Dragon automatically handles a lot of formatting, including spacing, dates and percentages. If you want to capitalize a particular word, say “cap” or “all caps” before it.CorrectingAlthough personalizing the vocabulary will prevent many errors, some errors are inevitable. By correcting Dragon’s errors, you can help it learn from them. Experiment with when and how to correct. Dragon lets you do it entirely by voice, but also allows typing over, pressing a hotkey, and more. (See the Options dialog.) When Dragon misrecognizes something you dictated, you can say “Correct that” or “Correct ” — being the wrong word(s) on the screen.

On: Dragon is listening. Off: Dragon cannot hear anything Exiting Dragon It’s useful to exit Dragon at least once a day: from the Profile menu, choose Exit Dragon.
