Using the Dictation Box
Normally you can dictate and use Dragon voice commands in any text window
of any application. However, you may occasionally find an application or a
specific window in an application where you cannot dictate and/or where some
voice commands won’t work or won't work consistently. These exceptions are
called "unsupported applications" or unknown text fields.
Using Dictation Box in unsupported applications
The Dictation Box opens automatically if Dragon notices that you are trying to
dictate in an unsupported application or window within an unsupported
application.
Turning off the Dictation Box
If you don't want Dragon to display the Dictation Box in unsupported
applications
1. On the DragonBar, select Tools> Options >Miscellaneous.
2. Click or say "Use the Dictation Box for Unsupported Applications" to clear the
checkmark from the box.
3. Click OK to apply your changes to the current session. When you save your
user profile, the settings will be saved for future dictation sessions.
