Starting to Dictate

■ Red means that you are speaking too loudly.
The Select-and-Say indicator
The DragonBar includes a Select and Say indicator that turns
green when you are in an application or window where all of
Dragon’s functionality is supported.
Normally you can dictate and use Dragon voice commands in
any text window of any application. However, you may
occasionally find an application or a specific window in an
application where some voice commands won’t work or won’t
work consistently.
When you are in a non-standard window, the Select-and-Say
indicator goes out, indicating that you may have some difficulty
selecting and editing dictated text.
Also, when you start dictating into a non-standard window, the
DragonBar will display Dictating into a non-standard window.
If you have difficulty in dictating or correcting in one of these
non-standard windows, use the Dictation box.
See the online help for more information on using the Dictation
Box.
Extras toolbar
If present in your edition, you can click the Extras button on
the far right of the DragonBar to open the Extras toolbar. The
Select-and-Say indicator
displays in green to show you
can dictate.
