Chapter 1: Introduction to Dragon 11
The Text Control Indicator shows the current level of dictation, selection, and formatting sup-
port. When a user dictates, they either have Full Text Control (a green checkmark ) or Basic
Text Control (a gray checkmark ). Previoius versions of Dragon indicated the current dic-
tation support level with the Select-and-Say indicator (a green ball ).
Recognition Modes
Recognition Mode indicators display next to the Text Control Indicator to identify Dragon's rec-
ognition modes - Normal, Dictation, Commands, Numbers, and Spell Mode.
Here are some other key changes.
Restructured menus
The menus are restructured to be more intuitive and provide easier access to the features a user
needs most. For example, the former NaturallySpeaking menu that contained mostly commands
for User Profiles (formerly called user files), is now called the Profile menu and focuses more spe-
cifically on commands a user can use with their User Profile. The Words menu is renamed the
Vocabulary menu and has all Vocabulary-related commands organized there. The Accuracy
Center is moved from the Tools menu to the Help menu. The following table provides a sum-
mary of the new and old menu names in Dragon 11 :
Dragon11 menu name Dragon 10 menu name
Profile NaturallySpeaking
Tools Tools
Vocabulary Words
Modes Words
Audio Sound
Help Help
Redesigned Control menu
Dragon's Control menu is clearer about how a user can display Dragon, such as Docked to Top
or Bottom, or Floating, and provides direct access to Dragon Options. Also, the former Close
command is now clearly labeled "Exit Dragon".
See the Dragon Help for more information on the DragonBar, the Text Control indicator, Full
Text Control, Basic Text Control, Recognition modes, Restructured menus, and other changes.
