Introduction

ragon NaturallySpeaking and Dragon Medical let you talk

to your computer instead of typing. As you talk, your words

are transcribed onto your screen and into your documents or e-

mail messages.

Talking to a computer while it types what you say is called

dictating. You can dictate, rather than type, into any program

that accepts text.

You can use Dragon to:

■Compose letters, memos, and send e-mail messages—Cut and

paste inside your documents as well as revise and format text.

Just think about what you want to say, and then say it into the

microphone.

■Enter data into forms or spreadsheets. (Available in

Professional and higher editions)—Most people can dictate

numbers faster than they can type. Using Dragon

Professional or higher editions, you can create custom voice

commands to let you move from field to field on your form by

voice.

■Work on the Web—Search the Web, access information, and

navigate Web pages by speaking URLs and links.

■Start programs and open menus.

■Use handheld recorders to dictate while you are away from

your computer. Dragon can then transcribe what you said.

Introduction

About this guide

This guide covers all editions of Dragon, including Dragon

NaturallySpeaking and Dragon Medical. Most information

presented applies to all the editions, and differences between the

editions are noted.

Conventions used in this guide

1This guide contains many examples of words and phrases

you can say when using Dragon. These examples appear in

italics with quotation marks, for example: “Format That

Bold.”

2Some procedures also include sample text for you to dictate.

Sample text appears in a different typeface, with punctuation

in square brackets.

3This guide applies to the five English dialects that ship with

Dragon:

■US English

■UK English

■Australian English

■Indian English

■Southeast Asian English

US English uses US spelling, punctuation, and time and

currency formats. We recommend US English for Canadian

users since this dialect formats numbers (including times,

telephone numbers, and currency) in North American

formats.

All other dialects use UK spelling, punctuation, and time and

currency formats (some number settings depend on your

Windows Regional Settings). Where multiple dialects are

used in dictation examples, those dialects appear in a different

font style. For example:

You can also correct a longer phrase by saying “Correct

[text] Through [text]” (US/Canada) or “Correct [text] To

[text]” (Other Dialects).

User Guide

4This guide uses US spelling and punctuation for consistency.

5This guide also includes tips and notes to help you use the

software more effectively. Tips and notes appear like this:

If you pause correctly, but Dragon still types a command as

dictation, you can force it to recognize what you say as a command by

holding down the CTRL key.

With Numbers Mode on, Dragon tries to interpret everything you say

as a number. If you dictate words, the results will be unpredictable.

However, you can still navigate menus and switch between programs

by voice when Numbers Mode is on.

What should I expect from Dragon?

One reason to use Dragon is to do your writing more quickly;

creating letters, reports, and other documents by voice. Another

is to reduce the stress associated with keyboarding. Or maybe

you just like the idea of being able to lean back in your chair, put

your feet up on the desk, and still get work done.

Dragon is good for all these reasons, but making it work well

requires some effort from you. Dragon learns about your voice

and pronunciation as you use it. When you use words the

program doesn’t know, it will misrecognize them. By correcting

your mistakes, you help Dragon improve its ability to recognize

your way of speaking.

Do I still need my keyboard and mouse?

Although you can use Dragon to do almost everything on your

computer by voice, some things are still easier to do using the

mouse or keyboard.

If using a mouse and keyboard is an option for you, try

experimenting with using your voice and using your hands for

different tasks, to see what works best.

What if I can’t use a keyboard and mouse?

If using a mouse and keyboard is not an option, Chapter 4,

Working on Your Desktop on page 47.
