Setting command, hot key, backup options
You use the Options dialog box to set where you can dictate
commands, assign hot keys, customize how text is formatted, set
initial microphone settings, and set the how often your user files
are backed up.
If you did not do a custom installation (which opens the
Options dialog box automatically at the end of the installation), you
can open the Options dialog box by running Dragon
NaturallySpeaking and selecting Tools > Options.
Correction tab—Select, correct, spell options
Under the Correction tab, you can set up the behavior of
standard commands, such as Select, Correct, and Spell.
Select and Correct are commands that select or correct text. Spell
is also a command that opens the Spell dialog box. You can
choose to have Select bring up the Correction menu, then
indicate how it should display by checking off items under
Correction Menu.
Commands tab—Types of commands you can dictate
Under the Commands tab, you can choose the type of commands
you want to be able to dictate.
Alongside Natural Language commands, you might also want
to enable mouse commands (such as “Drag”) and mode
switching commands, such as “Switch to Command.”
You then set how fast the mouse should move in response to
commands.
In addition, you can choose to have commands available in
HTML windows, and to have search commands available for
use in your web browser, on your desktop, and/or in email.
View tab—Set DragonBar location/appearance
In the View tab, you can set how the DragonBar is positioned:
■ Permanently docked across the top or bottom of your screen
■ Floating so that you can move it with the mouse
