Dragon 12 Installation and User Guide
Displaying the DragonBar
There are five different ways (or modes) that you can display and use the
DragonBar. You can also specify whether or not the DragonBar always appears
on top of the active window.
To open a menu on the DragonBar
1. Say "Switch to DragonBar" to make the DragonBar active
2. Say the name of the menu and menu item you want to open.
For example, say "Switch to DragonBar" then "Tools" then "Auto-Formatting
Options."
To change the DragonBar display mode
1. Click on the Dragon icon on the left side of the DragonBar or right-click any-
where on the DragonBar to open the DragonBar shortcut menu.
2. Click the mode you want. The DragonBar has five display modes:
DragonBar Docked to Top
The DragonBar always stays at the top of the screen. This is the
mode in which the DragonBar appears the first time you start
Dragon.
DragonBar Docked to Bottom
The DragonBar always stays at the bottom of the screen. If the
Windows taskbar is visible at the bottom of the screen, the
DragonBar appears just above it.
Floating DragonBar
The DragonBar appears in a window you can drag around the screen.
Clinging DragonBar
The DragonBar "clings" to the top left of the active window. When
you drag the active window to a new location on your screen, the
DragonBar moves with it. In Cling mode, you do not see the Extras
toolbar icon.
Tray Icon Only
The DragonBar is not visible on the screen. Only the microphone icon
in the Windows system tray indicates that Dragon is running.
To return to the last DragonBar mode, right-click on the microphone
icon and click Restore Previous DragonBar Mode.
To switch between DragonBar displays
You can also say "Switch To," "Change To," or "Select" and the name of the
mode. For example, if the DragonBar is set to Docked to Top, you could say
"Switch To Docked to Bottom" or "Change To Floating DragonBar" and so on.
