Later, you can reverse these changes through Dragon’s Options dialog, depending on your particular needs: you

can enable or disable the Natural Language Commands for an application individually, and experiment with the

Speed-versus-Accuracy slider.

Note: Other options on the Miscellaneous tab include having Dragon start in its sleep state (useful for persons

who cannot use their hands), as well as disabling the “tracking” of menus, buttons and other interface elements or

disabling the automatic Dictation Box where Dragon does not have Full Text Control (for example in PowerPoint

or Emacs). Details about these important concepts are in the Help..

The Help includes suggestions for optimizing Dragon’s speed on your computer. For instance, you can choose to

disable the ability to open items from the Start menu or the desktop at any time, even if they are not visible. You

can also choose to disable the shortcut commands for Facebook and Twitter, and shortcut commands to create

new emails, tasks or appointments.

We recommend you take a look at the Help menu and begin personalizing the Vocabulary as soon

as possible (this plays a crucial role in accuracy and efficiency).

Note: If you’ve used a previous version of Dragon, we suggest you read What’s New in the Help.
