Dragon 12 Installation and User Guide
Wireless dictation with Android devices:
Use your Android as a microphone
The Remote Microphone app released with Dragon 11.5 for iPhone and other
iOS devices is now available for Android. Once the app is installed on the
Android device, you can set up your device with Dragon and use it as a wireless
microphone over Wi-Fi.
In Dragon Premium and higher editions, you can add the device to an existing
user profile. See Adding a mobile device to your user profile in the Dragon Help.
Otherwise, you can create a new profile for your Android device. See Using a
mobile device as a wireless microphone and Creating a User Profile in the
Dragon Help.
Setting up a smart device is faster with a barcode
When you set up an Android or iOS smart device for use as a wireless
microphone, Dragon offers a barcode, so you can just point your device’s
camera at the computer screen to capture the information that the Dragon
Remote Microphone Application needs. See Preparing for communication in the
Dragon Help.
Open Top Website:
A new command to find the most popular web sites
The new command "Open Top Website for <keywords>"directly opens the top-
ranked page for the keywords you include when you dictate the command. See
Searching the Web by voice.
DragonBar in the System Tray:
New command opens the menu
If you like to set the DragonBar to display from the Tray Icon only, now you can
display it by voice as well. Just say "Open Dragon’s tray menu.” See Controlling
the DragonBar.
Changes that make Dragon faster and more accurate
Disable unused voice commands:
Turn off what you're not using and Dragon runs faster
If you don't use commands to open programs and folders, or to control menus,
buttons, and other controls in your programs, now Dragon has options to turn
them off. With Dragon no longer listening for those types of commands, the
speed of dictation recognition increases.
n To turn off control of Start menu and Desktop items, on the DragonBar go
to Tools> Options>Commands, and turn off and Enable launching from
the Desktop.
n To turn off control of menus, buttons, or other controls in one or more pro-
grams, on the DragonBar go to Tools> Options>Miscellaneous > Voice-
enable menus, buttons, and other controls. You can turn off control of all
programs or selected programs on the list, which includes Microsoft Out-
look, Lotus Notes, Internet Explorer, Microsoft Word and WordPad,
