Notes
n The "Web and E-mail Addresses" box must be selected on the Auto-for-
matting dialog box. for you to dictate e-mail addresses as described
here.
n You can say the following abbreviations by pronouncing them as words:
com, net, org, and sys. Say the following abbreviations by saying their
letters: edu, gov, mil, ca, de, fr, jp, sp, and uk.
n If an address contains nonwords or words that Dragon does not rec-
ognize (for example, "baxterex" in "juliasmith@baxterex.com"), you can
correct the recognition error and the address will usually be recognized
in the future. You can also add names that you commonly use to your
Vocabulary.
n Create text and graphics commands for addresses you dictate
frequently.
n You can use the "Spell That" command to correct e-mail and Web
addresses by spelling.
n You can add the names in your address book to your Dragon Vocabulary
by running the Learn From Sent E-mails tool.
Dictating E-mail and Calendar commands
Use the Dragon Voice Shortcuts in this topic to control your e-mail and
Microsoft Outlook calendar.
Just say commands containing your desired e-mail task. For example, say
“Send e-mail to <contact name>," where <contact name> is the name of
someone in your e-mail address book. Dragon opens a new message in your
default e-mail client, with the address for the contact in the To field. If you are
using Microsoft Outlook, you can also schedule meetings. For example, say
“Schedule meeting with <contact name1> and <contact name2>,” where
<contact name1> and <contact name2> are the names of people in your
Outlook contact list. Dragon opens a new calendar entry in Outlook, adding
the selected contacts. You can also schedule a meeting for a specific date and
time. For example, "Create an appointment on July 1 at 1 pm."
Before you begin
n Before using the Dragon e-mail and Outlook calendar commands for the
first time, you must run the Learn From Sent E-mails tool, so that Dragon
knows your e-mail contacts. To run the tool, say "Open Accuracy
Center," then "Click Learn From Sent E-Mails," or click Vocabulary>
Learn From Sent E-Mails. For more information, see Learn From Sent E-
mails. Note that the tool works only with e-mail clients that keep data on
your local computer.
