close a document, Dragon deletes the recorded dictation for that doc-
ument.
n The "Show Extras Bar" voice commands toggle the state of the Extras
toolbar. In other words, if you use this command to show the Extras tool-
bar, saying the command again hides the Extras toolbar.
The Text Control Indicator
The DragonBar includes a Text Control Indicator that changes to indicate the
level of speech support in the selected application.
Full Text Control
The Text Control Indicator turns green (as shown) when you use programs and
windows with Full Text Control. Most standard text fields allow full Full Text
Control capabilities.
The commands that quote text from the screen (select <xyz>, correct <xyz>,
insert after <xyz>…) work thanks to a functionality called Full Text Control.
This functionality depends on Dragon’s ability to constantly obtain information
from the text field about its content—for instance, in order to know where
words and sentences begin and end—so Dragon can apply spacing between
words and capitalization at the beginning of sentences.
Basic Text Control
When Dragon has Basic Text Control, the Text Control Indicator turns gray (as
shown), indicating that you may have some difficulty selecting and editing
dictated text.
If you have difficulty dictating or correcting text in a particular program or
window, Nuance recommends that you use the Dictation Box.
