l Dictate at a normal volume and pace. Avoid yelling, talking slowly or saying one
word at a time.
l Remember that unless you turn off the microphone, Dragon Anywhere will record
everything it hears. When you complete a portion of dictation, turn off the micro-
phone or say "Microphone Off."
l Minimize the amount of background noise. If you can't avoid background noise, con-

Dictation tips
If you're new to dictation, the key is to pronounce your words clearly and to have a rough
idea about what you want to say before you start, so that you can speak in full sentences
with minimal pauses.
Dragon Anywhere includes an explicit command syntax to perform dictation, selection, cor-
rection and command and control activities. Refer to the Commands List in the Dictation
scene for a quick look at the most common commands. To see all supported commands,
just say "What Can I Say" in the Dictation scene or access the What Can I Say item on the
Sidebar.
If Dragon Anywhere makes an error or you want to change something, wait until you fin-
ish your current sentence, paragraph or document; then you can proofread and make cor-
rections or edits as required.
Remember to speak punctuation marks you want to appear in your document. Consult the
names for common punctuation symbols.
