Dragon 12 Installation and User Guide
When Dragon notices that you are dictating in an unsupported application, it
opens the Dictation Box, which also features Full Text Control.
You can also use keyboard commands such as “pressAltd,” “press Enter,”
“press tab,” “press F5,” “page down,” and commands for clicking and dragging
the mouse, such as “MouseGrid 3,” “mouse right-click.”
For more information about Dragon's Web capabilities, see Working with a Web
browser.
Using Hotmail
Use Rich Internet Application (RIA)support when you write and send e-mail
with Hotmail.
RIA extensions enable you to use supported Web browsers to dictate content
and commands. The feature uses Full Text Control in supported browsers and
Web applications to help you perform common tasks by voice. For example,
you can say "Click Inbox," or "Go to Subject" or "Click Sent Mail." Also see
Using Dragon's Web capabilities without RIA.
Windows Live E-mail
Some Internet service providers rebrand Hotmail as Windows Live E-mail.
Dragon's RIA extensions are also available for those implementations.
Before you begin
Before you begin, make sure
n The Hotmail Web extension is active. Please see How to tell if Web appli-
cation support is active.
n You are logged into your Hotmail account and have Hotmail open.
Writing e-mail messages
Use the following steps to write e-mail messages. At any time you can say
"Show Site Commands" to display a list of commands.
1. To start a new message, say "Click New" or "ClickCompose," as required.
2. Do the following in any order:
n When you're ready to enter the e-mail address you'll be sending to, say
"Go To To" and dictate the e-mail address of the person you'll be sending
the message to.
If you see a list of suggested addresses, choose one from the list by say-
ing "Choose <n>," where <n> is the number shown for the address you
want to use. If the address is not in the list, continue dictating the
address.
n Say "Go To Subject" and dictate your subject text.
n Say "Go To Body" and dictate your message.
1. Click the Send button.
