12.0

Chapter 1: What's New in Dragon Version 12
Rich Internet Application support:
Enhanced experience for Gmail and Hotmail
In addition to its existing functionality for Web browsers, Dragon 12 includes
browser extensions – also known as plug-ins or add-ons – for the popular
Web-based applications Gmail and Hotmail. These extensions give you Full
Text Control in text fields, and enable spoken commands for important tasks.
Important: In Dragon 12.0, this feature works with
n Internet Explorer9 (32-bit)
n Mozilla Firefox12 or higher, and
n Google Chrome16 or higher
For more information, see Using Rich Internet Application extensions.
Require "Click":
Always, sometimes, or never
Now you say "Click" by default
To distinguish commands from dictation, Dragon now waits for you to say
"Click <menu name >" or "Click <tab name>" to open menus or tabs on the
Microsoft Office ribbon, or "Click <button name or list box name>" to select
dialog box controls. For example, to open the Home tab on the ribbon, you
would say "Click Home" rather than just "Home."
Now you can require "Click"for menus or controls separately
Also, the former combined Require "Click"option has been divided to give you
finer control. In previous releases, this feature controlled both menu and
control commands – now you can turn off either option individually.
For example, you could set up Dragon to require that you say "Click" before
opening a File menu and have it turned off inside dialog boxes. See Require
"Click" to select menus and Require "Click" to select buttons and other
controls in the Dragon Help.
The Dictation Box:
It's there when you need it
When you start to dictate in an unknown text field, a text area where Dragon
doesn’t have Full Text Control, such as in Microsoft PowerPoint, Dragon now
automatically opens the Dictation Box, where you do have Full Text Control.
Once your text is ready, you use the box’s Transfer button, and Dragon closes
the box and inserts your content into the text field where you started.
The option to automatically open the Dictation Box can be turned on and off in
the Options dialog box, Miscellaneous tab.
Note: If this option is disabled, you can open the Dictation Box using its
hotkey or by saying "show Dictation Box."
