Dragon 12 Installation and User Guide
To Say
Display common
voice commands
for your current
program,
window, or text
field
"WhatCanISay"
Switch the
DragonBar mode
"Switch To" or "Select" and the mode name ("Floating Mode,"
"Docked to Top Mode," "Docked to Bottom Mode," "Cling
Mode," or "Tray Icon Only Mode")
Display the
DragonBar when
it is in Tray Icon
only mode
"Open Dragon’s tray menu”
Change the
DragonBar
Always on Top
setting
"Set DragonBar to Always On Top" or "Make DragonBar Always
on Top"
These commands toggle the state of the DragonBar. In other
words, if you use one of these commands to make the
DragonBar appear always on top and you then say the
command again, the DragonBar will be put into a state where it
can be covered by other windows.
Exit Dragon (and
close the
DragonBar)
1. "Exit Dragon"
If you also have your User Profile open and have made
corrections with the Correction menu, or made updates with
the Vocabulary Editor, Dragon asks if you want to save the
changes.
2. Say "Yes" to save the changes.
You can use the "Exit Dragon" command from the DragonBar
Control menu (click the Dragon icon at the left) and from the
Profile menu.
Note
When you set the DragonBar to "Always on top" it will cover secondary Dragon
windows, such as the DragonPad and Help screens. In these cases, you will
have to turn off the "Always on top" state or move the windows around so that
they are not obscured.
